t’s hard to see variations when they advance progressively. In the past
Ifew years, enterprises were impartial setting out on their mobile
journeys. They had learned what it meant to support multiple stands,
how to control smartphone features and how to distribute apps in app
stores.
Fast forward to today, enterprises have been generally fruitful at
overcoming new challenges. Now that the basics are mastered, we will
enter a novel point of innovation in the mobile app development. The
developments in the mobile domain are vulnerable to new strategies,
actions and procedural revamp. In the year 2017, we are seeing innovative
trends arising in companies by adopting the new changes in order to keep
up with the market’s pace. Cutting-edge mobile solutions emerge with
client’s viewpoints and changes with time, which eventually affects the
project’s evolution leaving the Mobile App businesses with delicate
scenarios to cope up with.
Mobile App solution providers operate from different parts of the world
serving customers with best of their ability. Their team deep dives into the
client's business requirements to build custom applications and solutions
for their business. Solution providers have developed standalone
applications and solutions which interface with various systems in a truly
complex business environment. They provide a full-stack development
expertise from mobile web on the front-end, middleware platform
development, back-end server development, internal third-party
integrations, cloud on-premise deployments to maintenance support of
the client applications.
We have seen the need for more multichannel approached apps grows,
technologies for scaling progress and placement become more significant
— hence the development of DevOps, microservices and endless
integration. In parallel, users will certainly settle to applications that are
fetching and helping them achieve what they are trying to do. This means
that applications will make improved use of user context and technologies
that support alteration such as feature flipping.
Supporting new trends are taking a data-driven methodology to app
development, by continuously investigating with innovative features and
experiences, gauging outcomes and regulating development imports based
on upshots. We can say that these trends will escort in the next cohort of
Mobile Apps.

igital transformation” - When it comes to success in business, if not modern life itself,
Dit’s paramount that one reinvents themselves in order to stay competitive in our ever
progressing digital world. Fact is, businesses have always had to disrupt themselves, but
now, in order to revolutionize their industries, they must infuse their business with technology --
essentially becoming technology companies themselves. Every day, we encounter companies
looking to make this transformation. It’s because the Internet of Things (IoT) has swiftly become
a reality which cannot be avoided. Especially if we plan for success. Need proof? Look around
you.
Artificial Intelligence and other smart devices are everywhere -- on our wrists, in our cars,
around our homes and offices, and in our factories. Digital Transformation is the need of the
hour. It is a complete shift towards making businesses automated and creating experiences with a
human-centric approach.
For an incredible product experience successful companies keep the design process at the heart
of product development.
Delightful user experience is a unique competition of ideas. Driven by inspiration and passion,
UI/UX experts should be quick to respond to market trends and innovative ideas. A quick design
process will help digital transformation companies in producing multiple iterations to deliver the
best in class user experience. For that a design process innovation is needed.
It will not only make the business fast and market responsive but also keep them ahead of the
competition.
MobileProgrammingLLC
So how does a design process ensure that UI/UX experts
have the freedom to design a product that fulfills client
visions?
Co-creation
The key to great design is capturing the spirit of the client
and the essence of the space. A strong design process
accounts for participation of non-designers/end users
throughout the project.
Innovation
Design process offers a structured way of researching,
developing, testing, and moving design ideas towards
production quickly and consistently.
Quicker Time to Market
Keeps the project team aligned so that downtime is
minimized and up time is used more efficiently so that
product reaches the market quickly.
Risk Mitigation
By its very nature design process integrates controls like
design briefs, change orders and sign-offs at critical phases
to help manage these uncertainties.
Mobile Programming LLC, the leading digital
transformation solutions provider, is at the epicenter of this
proliferation. With almost two decades of experience in
software development and consulting, this global leader is
transforming the way thousands of global organizations do
business by developing the most innovative technologies in
Big Data, Internet of Things, and AI Experience Design.
Craig Ford, the Managing Director of Mobile
Programming LLC, believes that “successful digital
transformation will require careful collaboration,
thoughtful planning, and the inclusion of every
department for all the businesses out there.” All of
which has been made possible due to the continuous
evolution of digital technology.
During recent years, they’ve seen shifts in how traditional
leadership roles operate. As silos break down and the
scopes of various roles widen and change, digital
transformation has morphed from a trend to a central
component of the modern business strategy. The mobile
industry itself is undergoing a major shift with the cost
imperatives of clients on the one hand, and significant and
rapid advancements in technology on the other.
Digital Transformation companies have to be at the
forefront of it all, developing breakthrough innovations,
transforming user and consumer experiences, creating new
business models and opportunities, and leveraging data in
entirely new ways.
Change is going to happen whether you pursue it or
not—you only need to look at how the role of cloud
computing in 2016 has evolved. AI is following the same
trend and the possibilities are tremendous
For Mobile Programming LLC it all begins with a
strenuously followed work culture. A culture which enables
them to stay true to their prime purpose: Making the world
a better place through the continuous development and
innovation of technology.
Some examples of methodology include:
Harnessing DevOps in every Enterprise Imaginable.
In contrast to traditional IT, the use of DevOps
methodology opens the gates to a smooth and flowing
freeway to success. It does so by providing guard rails, road
signs and rules of the road. And not only does DevOps
power the development of projects, it can also transform an
organization’s culture. The company now hosts
DevOpsDays for its internal teams, featuring demos, open
labs, lightning talks, breakout sessions, and guest keynotes.
No wonder it is already being employed by 25 Percent of
their clients.
The trending software development approach has many
quantifiable technical and business benefits which include
shorter development cycles, increased deployment
frequency, and faster time to market. Mastering DevOps
toolsets, enables them to continually grow and serve their
client’s needs. And the DevOps trend goes way beyond
implementation and technology management. It's actually
changing the dynamics under which operations and
development teams interact.
Innovation Labs
Every Innovation Lab is composed of business and
technically-minded innovators who work at the intersection
of digital transformation and technology. It's at this
intersection that techniques are perfected in order to help
“Provoking an archetypal fluctuation
with the best-in-class app solutions”

“Helping clients

your business discover previously unknown
opportunities, which, in turn, can move your
company toward realizing its highest potential.
The Design Thinking Creative Studio
HEXA is the creative studio that is dedicated to
creating and delivering unparalleled experiences with
the user at the core of everything they do. From

large and small. It’s a range of mobility solutions that

The Veracious Partner for an Absolute Lucrative
Return
The fast-paced world of innovation and ideation is
where Mobile Programming thrives best. Due to their
commitment to forward thinking creativity, not to
mention their passion, spirit and drive, it’s no wonder
that Mobile Programming has been a trusted product
development partner to many of the most innovative
and respected companies in the world for more than a
decade; successfully delivering end-to-end solutions
that address business problems, strengthen IT
infrastructure, and enrich the user experience.
Providing consultation before, after, and during the
application development process to fully tap into the
technological potential of their client’s company or
firm, Mobile Programming’s seasoned experts always
bring their experience in technology leadership,
speed, scale, transparency, and predictability in order
to give your businesses the critical advantage it needs
in order to bring norm breaking, out of the box
products to market.
The Sales Veteran with a Command over the Future Trends
That's Craig Ford. Throughout the years, Craig has recruited and managed the top teams necessary in order to
generate impressive sales figures -- for both the company and, most importantly, his clients. He is largely credited
for Mobile Programming’s leadership status in the web/mobile development and IoT development sector, leading
the way in influencing many businesses to not only implement, but modernize and expand their digital strategies.
With a vast knowledge of, and expertise in, Health, Supply Chain, Automotive, Logistics, Entertainment,
Insurance, Interactive Media and Marketing Industries, Craig provides a strong, innovative and passionate hand in
the field of Sales/Marketing. But his talents and experience go beyond that to also include SOW/Contracts/RFP’s,
Resource Planning/ Management, Salary Negotiation, Requirement Gathering, Lead Generation, Market Strategy
and Technology trends. He has also designed and implemented training and Internship programs. In addition,
throughout his career, Craig has earned a sterling reputation for Operational Improvements and as a Coaching
Professional.
Spreading Camaraderie from Associates to Patrons
No tool or technology can be effective without the careful consideration and a deep understanding of the user, and
their needs. Guided by a strong belief in the fundamentals of the user experience, it is important to consider the
relationship between the business and their customers in every interaction.
Which is why the CEO and the executive leadership team make sure that all employees are aligned with the
company’s vision and are always inspired to contribute. It all begins by maintaining a healthy work environment.
Which is what Craig has done. His leadership strategies are noted in the industry for the unique affinity, and
strong rapport, the employees display towards one another. Part of this comes from the company culture which
encourages experimentation and free flow of ideas -- all of which helps all employees feel as if they have a stake
in the company’s mission and success.
So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that, with such an attractive and positive company culture, Mobile
Programming have been SAP’s Preferred Vendor Worldwide for nearly a decade now.
Mobile Programming has been credited for conceptualizing and structuring various products built on SAP’s
breakthrough in-memory data platform, as well as accelerating SAP's development processes, bringing a deep and
laser sharp focus on design and user experience.
Expert Insight into the Upcoming Trends
Looking towards the not too distant future, Craig firmly believes that the bulk of any future investments are
bound to occur in AI -- encompassing anything from Google's search algorithms to self-driving cars to
autonomous weapons. So it’s of paramount importance to nurture resources who excel at internal communications
and articulating processes, as well as lead bot scripting and development. That, Craig believes, should be the main
focus of tech strategists today.

critical to keeping retailers and consumers satisfied with
food and beverage products.
In the phase of evolving technology, society is taking
numerous advantages. Apps created for women safety and
tracking emergency needed people is a great helping hand
for humanity. The government of India has made-known
technical education and workshops in maximal rural places.
This supports for distance education and web based
learning on various aspects. Technical exercises from
videos and films regarding agriculture are productive for the
farmers to know about fertilizers, soil, seeds, etc.
Introducing and promoting such governmental programs,
researchers and innovations are mostly supported by mobile
apps for convenient access for everyone. Emerging
identifying cards with fingerprints has proved to be
effective and has been way-out possible by the help of
technology. Additionally, maximum of the apps created now
carries the fingerprint scanning feature and avoids typing
password. Present India is focusing on science and
technology when realized it is the key element of economic
growth.
The mobile-app market trends show that the market will
continue to generate higher and higher revenue and
progress in the foreseeable future. So, it is quite clear that
the much-discussed mobile app revolution is rapidly
growing and will grow to its limitless extent.

Whenever you need a mobile app for iOS, Android or Windows, you
simply put your query in Google and probably visit one of the link that
comes in top three, but that’s not an ideal solution. You can get many
options over there, but finding the best application development agency or firm to
work on your project can be tricky. There are lots of companies offering similar
services, and you need to make a choice over who can deliver the quality and
standard you have in your mind with quick turnaround.
You have to check number of things before opting services for mobile app
development. What’s the development process they follow? How much experience
they have in working on similar things? Are they able to design the app UI as well?
All of these are important considerations. You can check few points mentioned below
before opting a mobile development company.
1. Check out the portfolios of service provider.
2. Is the selected company developing app for web, ios, android, windows etc.
if not, then maybe you could suffer. Therefore, always select a place where
all your requirement gets fulfilled.
3. Choose the company where easy and quick communication is possible.
4. The company must be capable for quality testing on actual devices for UI
and UX.
5. Before making a choice, you must read the client's reviews and testimonials
about the previous work done.
6. The company must be capable for timely delivery of your app with quality.
So you must go to the Google app store, search the app which is already
delivered to other clients and check the reviews about the app. It will give
you lot of idea about the company’s work.
7. Check the company reviews on Google.
8. What is the development process they follow? You should know about the
development process they follow because it is always better to follow a life
cycle development process for any software/application:
i) Listen, Ideate and Strategize
ii) Designs of the app screens.
iii) Development
iv) Quality Analysis
v) Launch
vi) Measure and Optimize
There’s always room for further improvement and the key to an app’s success is
regular updates. Be sure that the development company will help you to improve and
update your app based on rankings in-app user data and feedback.

Some Upcoming Breakthrough Technologies
Touch and Feel the Innovation
Electro vibration technology will push the online shopping
to the new high. Imagine shopping for clothes online
without worrying about the texture and quality of the cloth.
It will change the touch screen experience in smart phone
drastically. This technology will also help blind people to
access smart phone like everybody else. Researchers have
been working intensively on developing touch screens that
allow you feel the texture of the cloth by touching it from a
smart phone. Electro vibration technology will be the
reality in this year itself and you will notice the arrival of
this technology on a large scale across touch screen devices.
Apple has also been working in electro vibration
BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES
S
martphone technologies are not just changing the
way we live and experience, but also characterize it.
Technology means to the collection of tools that
make it easier to use, manage and exchange information.
Technology makes us advance, and the smart phone
revolution has taken technological innovation to dizzying
heights. The various developments in technology, including
computer, the Internet and the telephone has helped to
conquer communication barriers and bridge the gap
between people all over the world. The mobile app
development agency is expected to reach the bar of $189
billion by the year 2020. The revenue figures were 69.7
billion in the year 2015. You can easily understand that the
prediction of hype is quite massive.

technology from a long time and has filed several patents
related to the technology. It works kind of magic that
stimulates through electronic charges, and your brain is
tricked into feeling the texture simply by touching the
device’s screen.
Communicating with the World through a Fingertip
In the year 2012, Microsoft established impressive speech-
to-speech translation and now, real time multi language
conference calls may finally become a commercial reality in
2017. This will permit usual language processing features to
be built into apps. Without the help of a translator or a
mediator user can share their thoughts in multiple languages
across the globe with just a tap.
When Your Thoughts Become Commands
Can you imagine a technology on a smart phone where
thoughts became the command and you can navigate
through your smart phone even without touching it? Yes, it
will be a reality now as the researcher working on our brain
wave pattern as every thought that comes into our brain has
its own brainwave pattern. And this unique electrical signs
can be mapped out to carry out specific instructions. This is
a hi-tech technology that could see some monetary
application in smart phones in this year itself. So the new
age smart phone with its brain-computer interface can read
the brainwaves emitted by our thoughts and execute the set
command. Imagine if your phone could simply detect that
you need the curtains to be drawn, and you are too sleepy to
get out of bed. And before you know it, it is done. The
potential for such an amazing user interface that permits
you to control your smart phone with your mind is limitless.
Wireless Charging is Now Possible
Nowadays we use our smart phones for multiple purposes
and this lead to running out of battery. This disrupts the use
of smart phone and forces you to carry the external battery
or user needs to charge their battery frequently. Many
mobile technology experts are now working on a
technology through which smart phone can be charged
activities like walking, tapping the screen or even the body
heat could also help in charging your phone.
Researchers are also working on availability of the ultra-
rapid charger that comes with an advanced battery
technology. It will allow us to charge your phone

completely in just 30 seconds. Another technology can be
very popular this year where one device can be used to
charge another device without connecting wires.
Flexible Flagship Smartphone
In the near future, phone screens would be more flexible
and user-friendly where people could fold and unfold their
screen. This phone will become a reality owing to Organic
Light-Emitting Diode technology. This technology will also
allow the pervasiveness of paper-thin screens that can
project from both sides of the phone screen. What this
translates to users is the ability to show pictures or videos to
your friend on one side, while using the other side as a
control to maneuver videos and images as you like.
The Future Mobile Technology
The future of mobile technology carefully revolves around
two words- Amplified Realism. AR in simple terms means
an advanced and unseen version of what user can see with
their naked eyes. We perceived most common needs
through our smartphone which infused with the AR
technology, will be enhanced through the use of computer-
generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics and
GPS data. By this technology, users can see a particular
place through their augmented reality integrated
smartphone camera and they can immediately find out the
nearest cafes, bookshops, and dining places.
Smart Way to Recognition
Now phone can recognize you even if it’s lying on a table.
According to recent advancements, a phone would be able
to recognize the face, even it is at rest or lying down. A
company is planning to introduce facial recognition
technology into its next major product release, and the face-
scanning Pearl ID will be used for authentication in its
payment platform.
Mobile technology is changing rapidly with the imagination
of human beings and it no longer remains the medium of
communication. In fact, new methods are being discovered
and processed to make it more productive. Some of the
major new technologies that will rule the mobile app sector
in coming days have been listed above. Apart from this,
there is a huge push in wearable devices like Fitbit, Apple
Watch, and Pebble that will continue to be in trend in the
year 2017.

he mobile app development industry has emerged
Tas a true friend in need, is playing a crucial role in
simplifying the daily tasks, and is also changing the
outlook towards information. The technology of mobile is
growing at the speed of light and the apps are becoming an
integral part of the digital ecosystem. In fact, these apps are
progressing to make a ubiquitous presence. Codewave is
one such company, which is advancing the mobile app
industry and delivering impactful solutions with trending
technology.
Mission to Build Beautiful Apps
Codewave is an app development services company,
founded in May 2013, with a vision to build beautiful apps
with reliable technology for businesses needing help with
critical digitization goals. In the last 4 years, the creative
team of the company has grown from a team of 4 to 50.
It has organically grown and capped as one of the
self-sustaining business. The company is proud to be
a transparent, people - first company, which has developed
unique, disruptive people practices and a workplace closer
to home.
Codewave has built their own ‘Framework for Continuous
Growth’, by the product called ‘Peerly’, which will be soon
available for other workplaces to adopt. With the help of
Peerly, Codewave has scrapped the annual performance
reviews and made growth a daily, peer to peer affair. Peerly
has made the opportunities more vivid, enabling people to
recognize people, give and receive constructive feedback
and make growth a daily affair. Today, Peerly is an app
available for web and mobile, using which employees can
cheer for others, rate their peers and nominate a customer
for a ‘FairPlay’ award.
The Fascinating Duo
Abhijith HK and his wife, Vidhya Abhijith are the
Co-founders of Codewave. Abhijith also holds the position
of CEO of the company. The duo, visions to make
Codewave a platform that brings people together on
journeys of growth, with the highest level of transparency,
empathy and humility. Their strategy is to build stronger
product influence being a services company, which brings
peer comfort with their customers and helps align with the
vision.

Abhijith says, “Being a customer
funded company, Codewave has been
profitable since day 1. On a long term,
the vision is to build the capability to
scale the business sustainably,
replicate the services business model in
tier 2 / tier 3 towns, create employment
opportunities, onboard people with
varying life experiences, and to be a
global platform for holistic individual
growth and leadership development.”
Tackling the Competition in the
Market
Codewave offers holistic solutions to
the business problems, from concept to
execution - keeping in mind simplicity,
mobility and aesthetics, at the best
possible cost. The company is one of
the early adopters of highly scalable
technologies like Node.js which is used
by apps like Uber to serve billions of
users. They have also built apps that
work with the internet, apps that can
work with fluctuating internet and apps
that don’t need internet at all. Apps that
stream content from satellites are also
built by them.
Codewave’s vision towards
‘competition’ is fundamentally
different. There are companies, which
offers similar app design and
development services and the company
believes that these are these companies
which are intensifying the need for
them to exist. The real threats perhaps
are businesses which are running
offline without the need for the internet
to intervene and change the game.
Transparent Work Culture
Codewave is a transparent workplace,
with a flat structure, people working in
small, powerful clusters. They carry
out about 10 - 12 projects of about
3 - 5 months long, at any given point in
time. They are transparent about the
revenue, salaries with employees;
everyone knows how much the
company is making and what the
monthly costs are. Codewave is one of
the first companies, to have eliminated
the bell curve appraisal and generic
rating scales for performance reviews
and have instead adopted a more
dynamic performance review practice,
which carefully aligns potential to
opportunity, and promotes individuals
when ready.
According to Codewave, the first and
foremost thing is to develop capability
to communicate with each other,
fearlessly and constructively. This
initiative was started by organizing a
1-hour event every week, and inviting
people to come forward and share a
story, inspiration or a technology
opinion. Gradually this became central
to their culture, and it helped people to
talk fearlessly and helped audience
listen openly, leading to deeper bonds.
Innovative Solutions Expectations
At Codewave, they are designing and
developing innovative solutions, which
fully exploit the opportunities that
mobile medium provides today. They
are currently building an intelligent
IVR solution, powered by AI where a
customer calling a call center would
initially speak to a bot and make
bookings with instructions given by
voice or through the keypad. They
have also built prototypes on Facial
recognition, Mesh Network / BLE,
Geofencing and other trending
features, which can be implemented in
a variety of apps - banking, travel,
retail etc. They are also trying to
identify opportunities to implement
such simple, yet valuable features
which can enhance the user experience,
with every app being built.
Codewave is expecting to see an
increasing demand for intelligent,
insightful enterprise solutions, legacy
enterprise software to be modernized
for use on smartphones and offline
businesses quickly bringing a slice of
their offerings to mobile. High
opportunities in areas of Data
Analytics supporting key decisions,
Online marketplaces connecting
consumers to suppliers, and consumer
facing mobile apps that are
personalized for users with deep
context is also expected by the
company.

e often credit technology as a harbinger of
Wdisruption, all the more so in Digital Media.
But in my experience I’ve seen technology as a
facilitator to a disruptive idea that would’ve existed and
made its way out with or without technology. I think
disruption is a very confident state-of-mind that’s ready to
discard set norms and revolutionize the industry with new
thinking.
When Disruption itself becomes the norm, it’s the
leadership and courage to experiment that become the
decisive factors of your company’s survival and success
along with technology.
I’m inspired by disruptive minds like Elon Musk and Jeff
Bezos when they take charge of ideas that only appeal to
science fiction movie directors, for instance companies like
Tesla, Amazon and even Facebook are not anymore just
looking into opportunities that aid in their current
businesses, but talking about stuff like, making the world
disease free, putting humans on Mars, or digging a tunnel
under the United States of America to avoid traffic jams.
Disruption is clearly a leadership quality possessed by these
CEOs.
Disrupt or be disrupted.
For a long time, disruption has been seen as a game changer
– but since the last decade and rise of Digital, it has very
much become a norm for survival.
The heat is so much that not even the public sector services
that hold a certain authority in accepting change and
implementing new business models are free from the
pressure to accept the digital disruption happing around
them on a daily basis.
Disruption as a risk
There are countless stories of disruptive thinking that
happened in a basement, took off as a hole-in- the-wall start
up and within no time shook the very foundation of that
business segment. Uber, Facebook, Whatsapp,
Couchsurfing, Airbnb and much more are fine examples of
disruption that was simply waiting to happen. Waiting for
its better half – Technology.
A research by Capgemini showed that since The year 2000,
52% of Fortune 500 companies have taken the knockout hit
and fallen just because they didn’t foresee the digital
revolution and its impact on the industry.
As a CEO or entrepreneur, one must see disruption as a risk
if they don’t see the opportunity it offers. As accepting
disruption and working that ideology down the company
requires a shift in the mindset, along with an appetite to
make substantial investments in new technology and skills.
Such a change is easier in smaller companies with young
and ambitions top management. I’d credit this quality as the
reason behind the emergence and success of so many start
ups that disrupted the space.
Disruption and leadership
The leaders and CEOs spearheading disruption have many
traits in common. These traits are a must-have to pull out
the disruption card and win the game. I’ll try and lay those
traits down one by one with a goal to help one see the
bigger picture in which disruption works as a positive force
and as a game changer.
• The Disruption Manifesto for your company
• Inculcating a culture of experimentation in your
company. Carry our weekly brain storming sessions.
• Embrace technology. Seek out for new technologies and
be the first to test them against your novel ideas.
• Be extremely curious about customers, think beyond
current business challenges you are facing.
• Be supportive and persistent through uncomfortable
change – it is likely to change will be unpleasant.
• Mitigate risks. Always begin by piloting your idea in the
market with a light and affordable architecture.
• Follow the leaders in disruption and create your own
tactics drawing inspiration from them
Towards the end
If you closely study all the disruptive models that are
successful today, you can see that the original thoughts
were not about profits to begin with, but about the
customers and how facilitating them in doing things easier
to make life better. And maybe this is where the real
learning sites.

be it in mail, person, or anything given
by a client whole heartedly without
asking him or her to do the same; the
way these days competitive marketing
asks for? Delivering a project timely
and heartily appreciations these days
are nothing but prevalent false norms.
Journey towards adopting Agile:
“On confronting and accepting the
profound value of above interrogations
and to turn these false norms into
reality (at least for my company), came
into existence my acceptance of Agile
Methodology” says Mr. Chandresh
Patel, Founder MD, Bacancy
Technology Pvt Ltd, a web mobile
application development company
delivering valuable products globally.
Moving forward on the ideology of
Agile, he adds that when we make the
shift towards agile development, we
find that there is a big difference in the
way we approach the programming
portion of the work. All of a sudden we
will realize that we no longer spend
much of our time doing the BDUF
(Big Design Up Front) we used to.
Work gets compartmentalized into
iterations. We are constantly in a rush
to show iterative results at the end of
each iteration, what I also call a chunk,
of the whole story.
My ideology of Agile and Lean
Development and how we practice it
in our company:
Agile and Lean Development as
adopted and now explained by me
relates to the ideology of starting
swiftly, creating a quality driven
Minimum Viable Product and releasing
the same for user feedbacks. Agile for
me is to adapt to change, but being
over enthusiastic we often forget that
we are humans, our employees too are.
Adopting change has never been easy
for anyone. Carrying this, my
perspective and my secret to success is
to act as human, understand the values,
help the employees to comprehend
adopt the change, and educate them
enthusiastically to understand what we
actually want to achieve and how. The
whole process includes valuing my
employees, motivating them, and to
ignite a spark of being a good human.
When asked about results of this
practice, I simply assert “At least we
can/should try.”
And for me doing this has always been
much easier than my peers for I have
personally applied the principles of

Agile and Lean Development in teams
both large and small, for in-house as
well as commercial environments, in
an organic setting as well as the
ordained setting. I have educated
dozens of teams, and made Agile
principles come to life in many
settings. I have played many of the
roles in the development arena, such as
the role of developer, analyst, team
lead, architect, and project manager. I
have also trained, coached as well as
worked with big giants like Microsoft,
Siemens, iGate, Indiabulls and many
more. And instead expressing proud, I
gratefully add that I am running a
successful organization named
“Bacancy technology” to deliver
decent software services, using Agile.
Plans ahead:
As a team, our plan for future is to see
our organization grow smoothly on the
way becoming the leading Web and
Mobile Application Development
Company. Our dreams are not bound
by geographic boundaries and hence
we look forward to get our wings
spread globally. We already have
presence in Canada USA.
Motto for Success:
Keeping our motto to succeed simple, I
have only two sentences to say. “Think
like a User User Interface is What
Users See and Deal With” ” At the
End, We Sell Products, Neither
Documents Nor Projects Estimates.”
Ending on a philosophical note:
Ending the really nutritious discussion
on his profound knowledge of Agile
and Software Development, he adds
“Like how many people you have met
exclaiming their extreme passion being
designing, but when asked about the
‘Rule of Thirds’, they start scratching
their heads. How many people have
you seen exclaiming that they are more
than passionate about web designing
and development, and when asked
about the ‘Three Click Rule’, burn
themselves up desiring to somehow
reach Wikipedia by the grace of God or
some miracle and read about this?
In my opinion if you are passionate
about something, you have to either
master it completely or you have to
accept that you still need to find what
you are really passionate about. There
is no midway escape to this.”
