We divide your app development project into short, focused development cycles called sprints.
Each sprint has a clearly defined budget, set objectives, and tangible deliverables, allowing you to quickly see progress, validate features, and adapt to feedback without waiting for the entire project to complete. This iterative approach keeps your project aligned closely with user needs and business objectives at every step.
(If you prefer a fixed-plan, fixed-price approach then please see our Waterfall development services approach instead)
Our Agile methodology incorporates regular collaborative planning sessions before each sprint, ensuring tasks and priorities remain responsive to evolving requirements.
While we don't rigidly plan the entire project upfront, our ongoing sprint planning allows us to clearly specify tasks, refine user stories, and ensure all team members are aligned and productive throughout each development cycle. We can combine Agile Sprints with occasional larger planning sessions to define longer-term roadmap priorities.

Beyond individual sprints, we can optionally assist with high-level roadmap planning to give your project strategic clarity.
This process identifies key features, user journeys, and overall project goals, providing a strategic framework that guides our iterative sprint work. While the detailed specification happens sprint-by-sprint, roadmap planning ensures your long-term vision and goals are clearly defined and consistently pursued.
Our Agile approach thrives on regular user feedback and continuous improvement. By delivering functional app increments at the end of each sprint, we quickly validate assumptions, incorporate user insights, and enhance your product iteratively. To fully embrace this Agile way of working benefits from you or your team taking a hands-on approach, such as gathering user feedback to inform development cycles.
This Agile process ensures your app remains highly relevant, user-focused, and adaptable to market changes.
Unlike Waterfall methodology—which relies heavily on upfront planning and defined stages—Agile offers dynamic flexibility and adaptability, particularly beneficial in fast-paced markets or when project requirements evolve.
Agile is ideal for teams and projects needing frequent reassessment, collaboration, and ongoing responsiveness to stakeholder and user input. We typically recommend Agile for projects that are ongoing or have been released to end customers, where evolving customer demands require rapid changes or adjustments based on feedback or market demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q) When is Agile development the best choice?
Agile is ideal when you anticipate changing requirements, require rapid feature validation, or prefer ongoing stakeholder involvement throughout the project lifecycle.
Q) Can we set a budget for each sprint?
Yes, each sprint operates within its own clearly defined and agreed budget, providing financial transparency and control at every stage.
Q) How long are Agile sprints typically?
Most Agile sprints last between 2 to 4 weeks, or per calendar month, allowing for quick iteration, feedback incorporation, and regular delivery of value.
Q) Does Agile mean less planning than Waterfall?
Not less planning—just different. Agile focuses on iterative planning, sprint-by-sprint, complemented by strategic roadmap planning to guide overall direction without rigidly defining every detail upfront. Planning is typically included within each sprint's allocated project/development time.
Q) What happens after each sprint?
At the end of each sprint, you receive a functional increment of your app, along with detailed feedback and recommendations for the next sprint's tasks and objectives.
Q) How do releases work with Agile?
The release schedule is a strategic decision you need to make. We generally recommend releasing in small, frequent updates if possible—ideally once per sprint, provided you have the resources. However, bear in mind that preparing for each release requires time and effort from all involved.
Some customers prefer to release after multiple sprints rather than every sprint. Each release should be accompanied by thorough testing to ensure a successful delivery in each cycle.
