Methodology

Asynchrony is engaged in a constant quest for the most effective, insightful approaches to software engineering. We continuously re-evaluate our methodologies in light of the newest developments and perspectives in the field. A few essential methodologies allow us to build responsive, collaborative solutions to the needs of our clients.

Agile Programming (AP)

Also known as agile development or lightweight programming, AP is a methodology that emphasizes flexibility, outcomes and constant client-developer interaction. In contrast to more rigid earlier methodologies, agile development emphasizes adaptation to change rather than resistance to it, and people rather than processes. Agile developers work closely with clients and users each day throughout a project, and measure progress in terms of actual working software, not adherence to a rigid plan. The process emphasizes simplicity, self-organization, Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. –Edward V. Berard harnessing change, and continuous attention to technical excellence. View PDF.

AcE

The Asynchrony Collaborative Environment (aCe) helps companies speed the development, reduce the costs and improve the success rate of distributed projects with digitally stored data or deliverables. Through aCe, individuals from anywhere in the world can work together as easily as if they were physically under the same roof. ACE integrates a comprehensive collaborative and management toolset within an open, platform-independent architecture, allowing companies to extend their investment in legacy tools and methodologies by optimizing them within a rich collaborative framework.
