Our Principles
Geomotiv and Agile Software development
i
We’ve been successfully applying principles of Agile development since 2010.
We offer our customers the possibility to opt for the most convenient format for interaction with our team.
All our developers and other specialists deeply understand the Agile approach’s value and know all its implementation’s peculiarities.
Business Value
How Agile Approach Helps Succeed with Your Project
The main value of the Agile approach is the pace of change implementation
With business software, it is often necessary to quickly and efficiently introduce changes to respond to evolving requirements. Therefore, another crucial aspect is the timely provision and processing of user feedback.
Unlike sequential approaches, using an Agile software process with offshore development allows project teams to deliver potentially shippable product increments within cyclical, boxed timeframes. For that, our company employs an Agile practice known as iterative development. It produces deliverables in increments rather than all at once, enabling clients to collect, use, and include user feedback in each iteration.
That means the development process, budgeting, and deliverables aren’t plan-driven and predictable. Instead, Agile involves project schedule evaluation, which can be adjusted with each iteration. This means the development team has several envisioned features concerning specific delivery dates.
Agile approach in action: adapting to change
Instead of elaborating on detailed requirements from the project’s start, you submit the requirements before each iteration and initiate change.
Therefore, the initial assessment is undergoing adjustments while staying in tune with the project vision and end goals. This is the core value of the Agile approach – you can initiate these changes “just in time.”
How it Works
Here’s How Our Offshore Development Company Uses Agile Approach for Your Project
Client and Product Owner:
You assign a Product Owner – a liaison between you and your offshore development team. In this role, a specialist has deep subject matter knowledge, gathers requirements from stakeholders, and is entirely committed to your project’s success. The Product Owner submits the requirements before each iteration and initiates change in consecutive sprints.
Project Backlog:
The development team derives features from the project’s backlog, which a Product Owner organizes as a prioritized list of tasks to be fulfilled in future sprints. The top of the backlog contains features that must be implemented in the current iteration. The Product Owner updates the Agile backlog based on the feedback or evolving requirements.
Development Cycle:
Stages:Plan – Design – Develop – QA – Review
The development team works in iterations – 2-4 week sprint cycles – that include an entire feature development cycle: from planning to production. Stakeholders observe and interact with shippable product increments and submit their feedback that the Product Owner and the development team further collect and process.
Release:
When all the requirements are met, the Product Owner accepts the results of the current iteration. It is also necessary to update the project backlog based on accumulated feedback and the new conditions that might have been introduced during the project realization process. Then, the development team goes back to the updated backlog to derive tasks for a forthcoming sprint.
When to Go Agile
Cases When Agile Beats Waterfall Development
Vague project Scope
Adjusting to Changes
Multiple Stakeholders
Support and Legacy Modernization
With the Waterfall approach, you define project requirements and identify the scope from the outset. Agile development omits this stage and gets started with a vague project scope but a well-defined vision of where the project is heading.
User-centered apps in B2B and B2C sectors and SaaS solutions, need to react to user feedback and respond to their expectations as fast as possible. The Agile approach follows the process that enables rapid change implementation.
Opting for the Waterfall approach makes you spend time on getting approvals from various stakeholders before starting the development process. However, when you go with Agile, you need to negotiate the requirements for the forthcoming sprint, which is a faster and easier way to develop software.
It is challenging to reasonably estimate the efforts of changing and supporting a system for objective reasons. Unlike traditional approaches, Agile enables your development team to get the details of the system’s work step-by-step while starting on iterative development.

FAQ
Need Help? We’ve Got You Covered!
What is the Agile offshore development approach?
The Agile approach involves a set of practices that ensure rapid delivery of small increments per iteration and promote regular communication between you and the development team. Offshore developers work in 2-4 week sprints and coordinate tasks with a Project Owner (PO). In this role, a specialist acts as a representative of your interests in a development team. A PO collects feedback from stakeholders and prioritizes tasks based on that input.
What is the difference between Waterfall and Agile software development?
A Waterfall approach to development is a sequential process that goes through its stages step-by-step:
Requirements gathering
Specification
Wireframing
Project estimation
Development
Testing and QA
Release.
With Agile, development teams work against short operations cycles that are repeated repeatedly. During that time, the team focuses on releasing a stable product version rather than documentation. As such, Agile projects can release new features rapidly and more frequently than Waterfall projects.
Are Agile and Scrum the same notions?
Agile is an umbrella term representing an iterative approach to the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Unlike traditional software development methodologies, Agile promotes concurrent development and testing activities that produce early results. It prioritizes face-to-face communication and enables the accessible introduction of change.
Scrum, conversely, is one of the many Agile implementation methods. It is a specific framework of the Agile methodology, which helps to deliver incremental builds every two to three sprints.
Why choose Geomotiv for Agile offshore software development?
Geomotiv is a trusted Agile offshore software development company with proven expertise. We’ve been providing offshore software development services using the Agile methodology for 13+ years. All our developers and other IT specialists can easily and quickly integrate into your company’s Agile processes and get started with the delivery process. We provide various staffing services such as IT staff augmentation and a dedicated team or can take care of the entire project as a project-based offshore partner.
How do I control the budget when opting for Agile development?
With the Agile approach, preparing a detailed budget estimation is challenging before the project starts. And that is a normal phenomenon when you must respond to change and incorporate new features without wasting time.
Here’s how you set and control the budget in the Agile flow, in brief. You set an approximate project duration and allocate the resources accordingly. Depending on the number of team members and their roles, you can estimate how much you can accomplish within the given timeline. To learn more, read our recent blog post on this topic.
Which Agile methodologies do you use?
Our software development teams are well-versed in multiple Agile methodologies and have proven experience adhering to their best practices. Although we easily navigate a vast scope of Agile methodologies, it is Scrum and Kanban that we are most proficient at.
While Scrum is concerned with an iterative work method, Kanban focuses on flow management and visualization. Each framework has its distinctive features, yet they embrace the same ideals and are often used in tandem. Our developers know how to use Scrum and Kanban together and adopt other Agile methodologies defined by your project.
What are the challenges of Agile offshore development?
The Agile methodology emphasizes the importance of regular face-to-face interactions during the software development process. However, this is only sometimes feasible in a remote environment where team members may never meet in person.
Having operated offshore development teams for 13+ years, Geomotiv has adapted the Agile methodology to remote-first workflows. We know how to establish efficient collaboration using online tools and prioritize transparency in every action. For instance, all our developers are used to time-boxed daily stand-ups and retrospective meetings.
How to implement Agile in offshore software development?
It is quite challenging to rely on Agile methods when working with an offshore software development team. Nevertheless, it is not so if all the parties deeply understand the principles of this methodology and follow them in their work. When you want to work with an offshore development team, you must establish close cooperation with your developers from the beginning, set clear goals, and choose comfortable tools for communication and its periodicity. It is important to stay flexible and open to discussing all the details of your project.
What are the Agile stages of development?
In Agile methodology, the development lifecycle usually includes the following stages:
Concept. This stage is devoted to identifying the project goals and prioritizing general tasks.
Inception. It’s time to define the team’s composition and prepare, set, and discuss the initial requirements.
Iteration/construction. Each iteration includes the development of some part of software functionality. The key goal of each of them is to deliver a working feature (or its part). The team is focused on building the software in full accordance with the defined requirements and the feedback that a customer provides on a regular basis.
Release. When the team has already built a working product, it is required to test it, prepare tech documentation, and deploy it.
Production. This stage includes ongoing support and maintenance of the software product.
Retirement. When the software cannot meet the ongoing business requirements and its support is not feasible anymore, it is necessary to stop using it and end its existence or modernize (migrate) it.
What is an Agile development iteration?
An iterative approach to the development process organization presupposes breaking down large tasks into smaller parts. They can be repeated, analyzed, and refined during the development cycle.
In Agile methodology, an iteration can be explained as a fixed period allocated for developing a feature or fulfilling a particular task. Usually, an Agile development iteration lasts for 1-2 weeks. Nevertheless, in some cases, it is possible to make iterations longer (up to 4 weeks). As a rule, there are formal meetings at the beginning and end of each iteration that allow the team and the Product Owner to discuss the goals and tasks, as well as the progress and the achieved results.
What are the types of Agile development methods?
Today, there are different types of Agile development methods, such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean Development, Crystal, Extreme Programming (XP), Feature-driven development (FDD), Nexus, and others. They all have a lot in common but also many peculiarities that make them more appropriate for different projects.
For example, the most popular option is Scrum, which presupposes the realization of a series of sprints and includes everyday 15-minute meetings that help teams to synchronize all the activities. Kanban suggests organizing the development process following a Kanban board table. This table has a column for each flow of the development cycle and a card for each task. Extreme Programming is based on finding “the simplest thing that will work.” It means that, in this case, developers do not concentrate a lot on the long-term product view.
What is the main benefit of Agile development?
The key advantage of this approach is flexibility. You will have the possibility to introduce changes to the requirements at any stage of the development process. It ensures the desired adaptability to continuously changing business needs. As a result, you will get a high-quality product that will bring you real value and will help to achieve the set business goals. Moreover, this software development methodology ensures the necessary transparency of the project realization process and creates favorable conditions for the involvement of all stakeholders.
