At Betria, we believe in the 7 principles described below and we adhere to them. While we change development process to fit our clients’ needs, our Lean Software Development Philosophy allows us to invariably deliver high quality solutions to our customers on time and on budget. Here are the principles:

• Focus on the Most Important - At all times focus on the most important - always focus on items of highest business priority by frequent reprioritization of the feature backlog. Our goal is to add nothing, but value.
• Amplify Learning – We are going to learn on each development iteration. We are going to keep our options open and learn as we go.
• Decide as Late as Practical – We going to keep our options open and decide on facts not speculations.
• Deliver as Fast as Possible – We like a rapid feedback loop and we like to show our clients working features rather than PowerPoint presentations, specifications or screenshots. We believe in the saying “Seeing is believing”. Short development cycles allow us to find and fix issues early before they grow into big costly problems.
• Empower the Team – There is never enough time for centralized decisions. We let people who understand the details make them.
• Build Integrity in – Test, test and test. Build unit tests during the development cycles, conduct frequent design and code reviews, execute regression tests during the QA cycles, automate the mundane tasks and keep the quality of the product as our top priority at all times.
• See The Whole Picture – We believe that everyone on our team needs to see the whole picture to better understand how his/her piece fits into the overall solution.

Our principles are the basis on how we make decisions during the product development life cycle; they help our teams to consistently build great products for our clients.
