A lot of things about Scrum-based software development are set in stone, such as the roles involved and the kinds of meetings teams must hold. However, there are some things that can vary from project to project and company to company. One of those is team size. So, what factors influence the optimal team size, and how do you determine the right size for your project?

The product owner is a “connecting link” between the development team and the client. The goal of the product owner is to guide the development team toward creating the most valuable product possible to achieve the client’s goals.

Team Structure

by Paul on July 3, 2020

One of the questions prospective clients ask us frequently is what the typical software development team looks like. The truth is, the “typical” team is hard to define. The “proper” structure and composition has been the subject of many debates, and there are so many configuration options that it is unreasonable to expect a “one-size-fits-all” approach.

As with any area of software engineering at Syberry, we always explore our options to find the optimal team composition based on each client’s specific needs, rather than simply recycling identical team compositions over and over.

Industries In Custom Software

by Anna on June 29, 2020

Is a custom software application right for your industry? Could a mobile app or a custom ERP system be a true competitive advantage, or these simply “nice to have” luxuries? The way we see it, many industries can benefit from custom software, as long the companies purchasing it are clear on their goals: the business problems they want their investment to solve, or the opportunities they want to take advantage of. To that end, before we talk about specific industries, let’s take a look at some of the most common reasons companies have for investing in custom software.

Scrum Master vs Product Owner

by Olga on June 26, 2020

Scrum is a popular buzzword in software development, but it’s also much more than that. It is a sophisticated methodology that can bring a development team a lot of value if used correctly. Today, we’ll discuss one of the many tricky questions involving the personnel roles used with this framework: can a project’s product owner also be its scrum master?

Let’s start with the definitions of each role. According to the Scrum Guide, “The product owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from work of the development team, while the scrum master is responsible for promoting and supporting scrum as defined in the scrum guide.”

Cross-Functional Team

by Anna on June 15, 2020

You may have heard the term “cross-functional” team used in discussing software development. This refers to a team on which members have different skill sets, which they each leverage toward a common goal: in this case, the development of a custom software application. Experience has shown that this is the best team-building approach, in terms of the ability both to adjust quickly and to optimize the development process and cost savings. What roles does a cross-functional team consist of? The idea of a cross-functional team originates in the context of the Scrum framework.
