Success Through Agility: At SAM7 we’ve always tried to react to our Customers’ evolving requirements. That’s one of the main reasons that Customers keep coming back to us – they know that we’ll quickly and happily respond to a new request or a last minute change to a system. As the company has grown this philosophy still shines through and our team thrive on meeting our Customers' ever changing needs – ultimately they want to create software that’s both useful and usable. Over time this has allowed us to refine an agile approach that reflects this philosophy. This approach is itself agile – allowing us provide a personalised service that fits our Customers’ working practices.

What's the Point?: Often it’s easy to lose sight of why a project has been kicked off. It’s key to us that we fully understand our Customer's vision for the future of the system, their key business drivers for starting the project and the measurements that can use to track success. By collaboratively working on a Project Charter we're both signing up to the reasons for the project.

I Wants Do Get: IT specifications can often be difficult to read and complex to follow. We take a different approach. We look at who will be using the system and what they want it to do. This lets us build up a series of User Stories that describe how each person will interact with the system – using plain English. We prioritise these User Stories to make sure we’re delivering the best value system as rapidly as possible.

Working Together: Whilst we build your system from the User Stories, we’ll be in regular contact with the key business contacts and users. This lets us constantly adjust and react to feedback and changes – allowing us to build a tailor fit solution that we’ve all bought into.
