Any successful engagement hinges upon the strength of three aspects. People, Process and Technology. Inphina places a lot of emphasis on keeping these aspects strong and sharp.

People

People at Inphina consider themselves as software craftsmen rather than software engineers or software scientists. Clearly, engineering skills and scientific understanding are required to write good software. It is the application of these skills in combination with a pragmatic attitude and a sense of quality that defines craftsmanship.

As craftsmen, our style of software development differs from traditional styles of software development.

• We maintain close collaboration with the customers or end users of the systems we build. We are continually refining and improving every bit of the code base as the system evolves.
• Every member of our team works together in an open and synergistic workspace.
• To ensure a well designed system with almost no defects we drive development though tests.
• Feedback during development is extremely valuable which is why we work in iterations delivering working software regularly.

Perhaps the most important aspect of our work is pride. We build software that we are proud to have built and that our clients can rely on to its maximum potential. We make a guarantee to you to deliver the software with the best quality.

Process

Inphina uses agile methodologies to implement its projects. This is based on the well known document called the Agile Manifesto . Agile is about being a team, being passionate about your craft, and eliminating waste to deliver the maximum business value. Going agile is a cultural transformation that builds on courage, communication, respect and fast feedback loops with your peers, your software and with your clients. We religiously follow the tenets of Scrum and XP to successfully deliver products and projects. Our expertise in Agile has been widely accepted and we have been training and coaching various organizations on successfully implementing these methodologies.

Today, Agile has become a buzzword. Many organizations would call themselves Agile as a marketing mantra. Inphina would strongly encourage you to give any Agile organization an Agile fitness review.

Inphina is proud to be practicing all the required parameters to qualify as an Agile organization. We are also proud to be a committer on the Agile Skills Project , which is defining the common baseline of the skills an Agile developer needs to have, including a shared vocabulary and understanding of fundamental practices.
