How Agile should you be in healthcare IT?

 

When planning a software engineering project, companies are often presented with a choice: pursue a deliberate (yet slow-moving) approach, or pursue a more agile (and more risky) development process.

At Vitamin, we say: Why not apply the best of both worlds?

The Vitamin Engagement Model represents our framework for building, operating, and maintaining software products. You share your company’s ambitions, and we provide a project proposal with a fixed cost and precise time frame.

This model revolves around the following three principles:

 

No. 1

Two heads are better than one.

Per our Engagement Model, all clients are supported by both a dedicated Project Manager and an experienced Technical Lead. 

  • Vitamin Project Managers combine business savvy with technical know-how to turn your ambitions into detailed specifications for the Vitamin development team.

  • Vitamin Technical Leads have over a decade of experience building large-scale products, and coordinate the Vitamin technical team that delivers the final solution.

Together, our teams unite business acumen and technical savvy to maximize client success.

 

No. 2

Turn your goals into achievable milestones.

Our partnership centers on achieving your organization’s goals. Whether you have precise specifications or ideas in bullet-point format, Vitamin’s Project Manager will define objectives and develop milestones to make your goal a reality.
