Agile, SCRUM
Scrum is one of the most popular Agile methodologies. It is an adaptive, iterative, fast, flexible, and effective methodology designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project. Scrum ensures transparency in communication and creates an environment of collective accountability and continuous progress. The Scrum framework is structured in such a way that it supports product and service development in all types of industries and in any type of project, irrespective of its complexity.
Challenge
BGO Software had to implement a comprehensive and flexible facilities management software solution from scratch in order to replace the old system (Accendo) based on Silverlight technology. The requirement of the client was to develop an application with the same outlook and functionalities as the ones of the existing system, without making significant changes to the initial interface.
The biggest challenge for our team was to implement the same look and feel of Silverlight adding extra functionalities to SVG, plus pure JavaScript without using any external libraries. By utilizing the newest HTML5 (JavaScript + SVG) technologies our engineers managed to implement transitioning tasks and handle the complex graphical part of the project.
