The Agile method is a project management approach that prioritizes flexibility, collaboration, short development cycles and continuous improvement. Its advantages are: better adaptation to changes, greater customer satisfaction (because they are involved), better quality of the final product, and faster time to market (MVP). It is opposed to traditional waterfall methods. This is how we manage our projects. tailor-made development.

Scrum is an Agile framework based on sprints (iterations of fixed duration, e.g. 2 weeks) with defined roles (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team) and rituals (daily, sprint review, retrospective). Kanban is a more continuous method, focused on visualizing workflow (Kanban board) and limiting work in progress (WIP). Our project managers in Lausanne choose or adapt the most appropriate method.

We commonly use tools like Jira (very complete for Scrum and Kanban, task and bug tracking), Notion (more flexible, ideal for documentation, roadmaps, and task tracking for medium-sized projects), or Trello (for simpler Kanban approaches). We also use Slack or Microsoft Teams for day-to-day communication.

Your involvement is key! As a customer (or “Product Owner” in Scrum), you participate in the definition and prioritization of features (backlog), you validate the deliverables at the end of each iteration, and you provide regular feedback to the team. This close collaboration ensures that the project remains aligned with your needs.

The Agile method is particularly well suited to projects where needs may evolve, where innovation is important, or where visibility and collaboration are crucialIt is widely used for software development, but can also be applied to marketing or content creation projects.
