Our Collaboration Models with You

Classic with Agile Execution

At the beginning of the project we perform a System Design phase, in which we create together with you a detailed specification and in the system architecture we select the key components and concepts. This serves on the one hand as a basis for your development and on the other hand as a basis for an exact estimation of the development effort.

Then the product, respectively the software and/ or electronics are developed iteratively, i.e. after a first phase you will receive a new software version every month for you to test and give feedback on. On the electronics side, typically you receivetwo to three hardware versions over the whole project duration.

At the end of the project, you get all data, including the specifications, which are continuously updated with the changes made during the project.

For you, this means:

• You spend the effort and time at the beginning of the project to review and discuss the requirements, the specification
• You then get an iterative ("agile") software version every month
• You get a few hardware versions on which the software runs (if we develop the electronics for you)
• You can adapt your requirements during the project based on these versions if necessary
• You don't have to take care of the project management, we do that for you
• You benefit from your initial specification effort by choosing the most efficient development methodology
• You have the choice between a fixed price or a project on a time and material basis

Full Agile

At the beginning of the project, we take your requirements and other documents and base our initial system design on these documents. Then, for your design we make a rough estimation of the order of magnitude of the effort.

We iteratively develop the product, respectively the software and/or electronics, i.e. after a first phase you receive a new software version every month for testing and to give feedback. Every month we discuss with you the features and changes to be implemented in the next month. If these changes make it necessary, you also receive a new version of the electronics.

At the end of the project you receive all the data, including the specifications created during the project.

For you, this means:

• You have no specification effort at the beginning of the project and you can steer the implementation of your requirements on a month-per-month base
• You get iterative ("agile") software versions every month with exactly the features you have defined
• You get iterative ("agile") hardware versions on which the software runs (if we develop the electronics for you)
• You benefit from the possibility to develop your requirements from version to version
• You don't have to take care of the project management, we do that for you

Co-Development

Our employees, our team are integrated into your development organization and get the tasks from your project management.

The documentation is done according to your specifications, if desired also according to our processes.

For you, this means:

• You have direct access to "your" project team
• You take over the project management of the whole project, we lead our sub-team

Prime Contracting incl. Manufacturing

We carry out the development for you, either Classic with Agile Execution or Full Agile. Then we also take over the production of your product as a prime contractor together with our partners. This can include only assembly of a printed circuit board, or additionally mechanical parts (housings, injection molded parts...), also their assembly and ready-to-ship packaging.

For you, this means:

•  You choose the development model that suits you best: Classic with Agile Execution if you already have a good idea of the requirements, Full Agile if you don't want to do the specification work at the beginning. Development then proceeds like this:
  • You get an iterative ("agile") software version every month
  • You get a few hardware versions on which the software runs
  • You can adapt your requirements during the project based on these versions if necessary
  • You don't have to take care of the project management, we do that for you
  • You have the choice between a fixed price or a project on a time and material basis
• You do not have to worry about certifications, series production, tooling etc., we take care of that
• You benefit from being able to easily call-off your finished product, according to a periodically defined production plan
