The CODE11 methodology stack can best be described as a “MixTape” of the best suited methodologies around. With love, affection and admiration we have sampled from Lean StartUp, Design Thinking, Domain Driven Design, Business Model Generation, Ambidextrous Organisation and more. Combined with elements of SCRUM, Kanban and different flavours of extreme programming these emerging best practices are mixed into our continuously evolving framework. For a simple overview of some of the most influential sources of inspiration take a look at our methodology read up recommendations.

When we approach a new challenge we always start with the customer problems. We concisely avoid jumping to solution conclusions based on supplier desires, which to our experience to often is the case. Based on customer desires we start experimenting towards the ultimate customer experience. Interacting as early as possible with the customer via some version of an early stage Minimum Viable Product (MVP), typically starting out with smoke test MVPs, moving on to prototype MVPs and pilot MVPs, with each iteration including a full build – measure - learn cycle with real customer interaction. The MVPs are designed similar to academic experiments with the goal of learning how to create a functional business, product, system combination. As in scientific studies data plays a vital role, and we strive to gather, analyse and utilize data throughout the process. This process continues even if CODE11 typically only participates in the early stages of the endevour. As a company we work with business exploration and leave the business exploitation to more capable hands and heads.

We have since the early days of what have grown into become CODE11 been experimenting with a wide range of software development methodologies. We have continually searched for and applied strict methodology to be able to solve complex development problems for our customers. Our own failures and success combined with emerging best practices in the business such as Lean StartUp have led us to expand our scope from system only to include business and product. Through several years of continuous experimenting and learning together with our partners and customers CODE11 today include methodology as an equal pillar in our service offering as design and development.
