software development METHODOLOGY Although Decusoft has developed its own formal methodology, our view is that methodologies are guidelines. No two clients or projects are the same. Methodologies need to be flexible and adapt to specific situations. Decusoft is a member of the Agile Alliance, and as such, supports the Agile Software Development Manifesto which values:  Individuals and interactions over processes and tools  Working software over comprehensive documentation  Client collaboration over contract negotiation  Responding to change over following a plan Our development methodology combines Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) and object oriented principles. This interactive and iterative approach to application development allows for significant client interaction and accountability. DSDM is a team-based methodology – the entire development team is considered a "team of peers" rather than a hierarchical command structure. Each team member is entrusted with a set of responsibilities, each of which is vital to a project's success. Our typical project lifecycle involves the following stages: Discovery Analysis and Prototyping Construction Deployment Quality Assurance
