Understanding MVP

Posted by Molly

MVP, or Minimum Viable Product, is a method of developing software that prioritizes getting a simple version of your product released as soon as possible, gathering feedback, and then iterating on that product based on real-world feedback. This process emphasizes limiting work-in-progress (WIP), continual improvement, and frequent demos of the evolving product. But what does that actually mean for your project?

Understanding Agile

Posted by Molly

If you're looking to start a software development project, you're likely reading a lot about different strategies for planning your project. Since Fusionbox specializes in custom Python development, we've put a lot of thought into how we manage our software projects. Like many developers, we've chosen to use Agile development practices, but what does that really mean for your project? Agile does not abandon documentation or planning, but rather continues those processes throughout development, giving you the most flexibility and control over development of your project, which is especially useful if you’re new to software development.

Posted by Molly

But it’s usually not the decision itself that causes difficulties-- it’s the lack of clarity on what that decision is. Unfortunately, the seemingly endless supply of decision tracker templates doesn’t actually offer a viable solution.

The conference provided some valuable insights on how we as project managers can act as effective facilitators to get the most from our teams.
