QUIPU has adopted the 'agile' software development framework as a way to achieve customer satisfaction by means of early and regular delivery of valuable software applications.

Agile development is an iterative, incremental process where customer collaboration through frequent feed back, team work and flexibility for changes are the key.

It is not just a methodology but a development framework which rises in response to problems frequently found in projects using traditional methods. Mainly the lack of flexibility and insufficient client collaboration (feed-back).

Under this approach projects are divided into incrementing modules, which can be refined during the process.

Benefits:

• Quick feedback loop from business stakeholders to engineering staff and back to business stakeholders. This usually leads to a higher team motivation as a result of a better alignment with client targets.
• Ability to refine requirements and design, and handle changes in both during the product lifecycle.
• Ability to validate pieces of design incrementally, providing continuous analysis and mitigating the risks.
