Development Principles

Fruition started as an SEM company and through its frustration with developers that didn’t understand the importance of SEO turned to development. Developing a website from scratch is a completely different game than doing SEO. Website development is in large part, a subjection process. Whereas SEO is largely objective. To best negotiate the website development world Fruition’s developers and website project managers undergo Agile training. Agile is process with twelve core principles. They are best summarized by saying that Agile welcomes change, the results are in working code not plans, and trust in getting processes done permeates from the project sponsor to each developer.

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

  • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
  • Working software over comprehensive documentation
  • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
  • Responding to change over following a plan

The Agile processes can drastically improve development cycles. A typical project process is depicted in the chart below.

How Agile Benefits Your Company

Fruition’s adoption of Agile means you project will see rapid development. You will see the iterations as they are developed. This allows changes to happen quickly as opposed to have large change list at the end of the project.

Fruition works in 4 week sprints. This means a list of items that are going to be completed in 4 weeks are set in stone and then anything that can’t make that 4 week schedule goes into the next time period. This allows for a timely completion and more accurate forecast of work to be completed. Work to be completed is displayed visually in a burndown chart.
