Over the years, Teleportel has developed its own methodology.
These are the 5 Teleportel practices:
Teleportel organizes the programming cycle in different phases which are all executed as 'sprints' (not as marathons) and delivers software with a strong preference of short timescales. We aim at satisfying the customer by providing early and continuous delivery of software developed exactly to meet the requirements.
/01
Our processes harness change. The Teleportel team understands that a customer is not aware of its own future requirements and expectations, especially in a rapidly changing environment. We welcome changing requirements, even if they are requested late in the development cycle.
/02
In our approach it is imperative that 'business people' (i.e. the customer – users) and the Teleportel developers work together, almost on a daily basis, throughout the project. We prefer and strongly recommend face to face conversations over heavily documented requirements descriptions.
/03
Our focus is on simplicity, in everything we do : both in the GUI / UX (user) as in the actual project. We have learnt that eliminating waste is a key strategy : it is as important to understand what the customer does not really need. In other words, we maximize the work not being done.
/04
The Teleportel development team is self-organizing. A typical team has maximum 3 highly skilled technical professionals : for the front end, for the program process and for the back-end. Simple projects require only 1 or 2 developers. The developers are of the highest level and possess many years of first-hand experience. Their expertise is 'in the top of the skills pyramid', we do not work with juniors. The software, tools and programming languages used are state-of-the-art and follow the latest, proven trends. The team and its members reflect permanently on how to continuously improve and become more effective.
