If your company has identified a need for custom software, you've started down the path to future success. However, the first fork in the road comes quickly--who will design your custom software?--and you need to know which direction to take. At Abstracted, we believe there are two methods for software design: one traditional and outmoded, and the other a vision for streamlined success.

At Abstracted, we employ the methodology known as Joint Application Development (JAD), which takes a new approach to the traditional line of thinking in custom software development. Typically, this older process involved separate meetings with each of the departments or individuals who would use the software. This meant there were several groups each tunneling toward a separate expected outcome. The result then was a product not quite right for anyone, and inflexible in its architecture.

The Joint Application Development methodology, on the other hand, employs timeboxed iterative and evolutionary development, adaptive planning, evolutionary delivery, and other thoughtful concepts that foster complete agility in the process and product. The result is a better piece of software for all and one that remains malleable in an often changing business environment.

Though we're based in San Diego, Abstracted works with New York organizations to bring them maximum effectiveness in their business processes. We work closely with our clients, no matter where they are, so we can develop an understanding for the thought processes in play and the best positioning for software success.
