West Arete has used the highly collaborative, highly effective Scrum process for nearly a decade and has two certified Scrum Masters on staff. This project management structure is rigorous with regard to time and budget, and responsive with regard to scope and design.
This is a rigorous programming practice that dictates that the developer must write an automated test for the code, even before the code itself is written. This standard helps to ensure that all code is working as the developer intended and is maintainable in the long run.
