Lean Software Development...

Crossfire provides custom software solutions for our customers using lean software development practices. We believe that the traditional, iterative method of engineering software has historically resulted in delayed releases, budget overruns, and feature loss. Running a project based on lean principles avoids the common pitfalls of software development by bringing the development team closer to the client, delivering the most important functionality early, and quickly adapting to changes in project requirements.

Rapid Prototyping Our team works to understand each customer's needs and to swiftly produce working prototypes. A quick, visual mock-up of a product often allows users to refine their requirements and ensure that their ideas areunderstood before any problems appear in development.

Iterative User Feedback Crossfire works very closely with its customers to ensure that a project's requirements accurately describe the customer's changing needs over time. We build a high level list of requirements early on and develop features according to their priority over short release cycles.

Regular Refactoring As features are added to Software Projects, the code base often becomes quite complex. In order to prevent this problem from occurring, Crossfire regularly refactors the code base throughout a project so it remains simple and flexible as features are incrementally added.

Automated Unit Testing Testing is critical to verify that application software satisfies the requirements determined by the customer. Crossfire believes that building automated unit tests into the code during development will catch the majority of bugs early on and prevent long, drawn out testing cycles at the end of a project.

Crossfire can staff a project for you or you can outsource your projects to us. In either case you will be ecstatic with the final product that you receive!
