Approach

3months is an independent company. Our developers, architects and project leaders have exceptional technical and communication skills and are exposed daily to many different web technologies, tools and techniques. If you choose to work with us, we would like you to understand our three core principles:

Agile

Agile is a software development approach that is quite different to the more traditional, engineering-based "waterfall" approach. We believe the most important aspects of Agile are:

  • Early and continuous software delivery, with a preference towards small, biweekly iterations.
  • Acceptance and even welcoming of continually changing requirements.
  • Tight integration between the business and developers - one team who enjoy working together.
  • Steady pace of software delivery that can be sustained indefinitely.
  • Face-to-face interaction is the best form of communication.

Agile reduces risk, cost and time to market. Agile encourages innovation. Agile does not penalise uncertainty and change.

We invite you to read our Agile webpage or Agile blog for more further inspiration.

Open Source

If security, robustness, wide support and continual improvement are important for your organisation, a 3months open source solution may be right for you.

Open source is software created by a world-wide, community of people who are dedicated to working together in a highly collaborative and evolutionary way. The key advantages of open source software are that it is: free, able to be modified, avoids vendor lock-in and encourages software innovation and longevity.

As an independent company, we will provide you with balanced advice to help you make the right decision for your budget, future needs and strategic vision.

Open Standards

Following open standards and best-practice guidelines are the best ways to ensure that your website is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of their software, hardware or physical disabilities. It also increases the maintainability or your sites underlying software and reduces your reliance on a particular vendor.

3months implements websites using open standards and best-practice guidelines as a matter of course. Doing so often significantly speeds development and reduces the maintenance overhead of a site.
