We use the best practices of software development

Software development is generally recognized as a difficult process. According to the Standish Group report, only 35 percent of software projects started in 2006 can be categorized as successful, meaning they were completed on time, on budget and met user requirements. Among the key factors of project success is proper development methodology.

JetIdeas uses the MSF (Microsoft Solutions Framework) as the methodology, which captures many of the best practices of software development including iterative development, continuous verification of software quality, using component-based architectures etc. This disciplined approach to development ensures the production of high quality software that meets the needs of its end users within a predictable schedule and budget.

We tailor the methodology for your project

Two different versions of MSF 4.0 exist: MSF for CMMI Process Improvement, which emphasizes process over people, and MSF for Agile Software Development, with an emphasis on people over process. We select the appropriate version depending on customer needs:

• MSF for Agile Software Development used if the requirements to the project can not be mostly specified prior to development and are likely to be changed dynamically.
  Typical applications: web sites, mass user software
• MSF for CMMI Process Improvement used if the requirements are not subject for frequent change and customer needs to plan precisely each feature implementation for several months or even years ahead, or demands formal reports of all project development processes
  Typical applications: medical or aircraft software, programming tools etc.

Both of these methodologies are integrated into brand new TFS (Team Foundation Server). Due to TFS, our customers get opportunity to review project status by means of clear and vivid reports 24/7. Please review some of the report examples below:
