Rooted in DAD (Disciplined Agile Delivery) and PMBoK principles, it's robust yet adaptable to meet our clients’ specific needs. This framework guides the entire software development lifecycle, from start to finish.
Our approach effectively handles product development issues like technical complexities, inefficient teamwork, ever-evolving stakeholder requirements, and legacy code challenges. Based on the PM Handbook, an architecture-driven methodology and strong engineering practices, *instinctools’ Delivery Framework facilitates seamless interaction between clients and our team at every project phase.
