Adaptive and flexible, the Agile method delivers software that prioritizes speed-of-development.
Agile is a set of principles and values that guide software development practices.
In 2001, seventeen software developers gathered in Utah to lay out foundational principles that would change development forever. The timing was perfect; the world wide web had been established, but development speed continued to linger behind ideas and innovation.
Software development needed a framework that matched the pace and flexibility of the internet. The traditional waterfall method built large software products over years—products that could be obsolete by launch time in today’s fast-paced world.
Agile is more than a process; it’s a belief system that shapes how a team produces deliverables. The hallmarks of agile are timelines with a faster ideation-to-product pipeline that prioritizes a working product.
All of Ventive’s departments utilize Agile principles—from design and marketing to development. Our priority is developing an MVP that solves a client’s most pressing problem.
Developing a working product faster and more successfully is at the heart of why we are an Agile shop.
If you’re used to software that’s delivered as a finished product in two years’ time, you’ll be surprised by the adaptability and effectiveness of the Agile method.
Agile is focused on getting a working product into users’ hands as quickly as possible—meaning months and not years. A shorter development timeline considers customer feedback sooner rather than later, and the project solves problems from the get-go.
Rather than waiting several years for a release to discover that the product doesn’t fit the market, Agile development checks in regularly with users so that the product fit is right from the beginning.
Save money. Deliver faster. Fail less.

By adopting the Agile method, organizations can align their actions with principles that deliver working software.
Understand your users, challenge assumptions, and test before launching your product.
Here’s a glimpse at how Ventive internalizes Agile values.
Face-to-face communication between clients, product owners, and project managers is essential so product concerns are conveyed in a timely manner.
Ventive prioritizes virtual or in-person meetings with agendas that spell out a project’s progress. Regular contact with clients means they stay up-to-date on product changes and abreast of project challenges or successes.
We organize design and development around sprints to consistently deliver product, research, and designs to our clients. We adapt our communication methods to meet our clients where they’re at.
Our downtown Boise office is designed to enhance synergy between our teams. You’ll often find UX designers and technical project managers consulting each other directly, without barriers of leadership or department heads between them. Team building events are done cross-departmentally because we believe this strengthens the multi-disciplinary teams that build your software application.
In today’s work environment, we continue to find innovative ways to connect remote, in-person, and hybrid employees, so our teams work together effortlessly to deliver products on-time and on-spec.
A working product is our guiding light, and we don’t wait until after launch day to adjust the product to meet market changes. Being agile means real-time adjustments to development so the product serves the users’ needs from day one.
As we build a project, flexibility means finding easier and faster ways to meet project goals. Our goal is a working product, and our team is prepared to shift to accomplish that.
You are at the center of what we do. We build products for you so you can serve your customers. Above all, we work with you to deliver a product that users want.
We deliver an MVP that solves your most pressing problem as quickly as possible.
We hire for excellence, and our team members bring diverse talents and experiences to the table. They are constantly learning so that their knowledge is at the forefront of the industry.
The iterative approach can grind to a halt if you get stuck on false beliefs about how Agile is used in software development.
