An agile approach when developing our solutions
Traditional methodologies such as V- or waterfall models, require each stage in the project to be completed before customer testing and roll-out can happen.
These are predictive approaches and the main issue they throw up is the late detection of risks, requiring the entire development phase to be fully completed before the customer sees what they are getting.
Agile methods were born out of a realisation that it is counterproductive and risky to plan every detail of a product before development begins. This is particularly the case for IT projects where unforeseen challenges often arise.
We at Cegedim Insurance Solutions have therefore integrated Agile methods and an Agile mindset, in particular the Scrum Framework, into out solution development. This way of working allows for small increments of usable value to be delivered to our customers earlier than traditional methods would allow, as well as enabling required changes to be flagged sooner, thereby reducing risk and keeping the solution current.
