Software development and business models

In today's article, I want to talk about software development and business models. For the analysis, I chose the Scrum development methodology and the co-financing model.Quite a few companies use the methodology of developing Scrum, one of such companies is Skype, which partly uses this flexible methodology of software development. This methodology focuses on the quality control of the development process.

The term Scrum itself is defined as the methodology of project management, which is built on the principles of time management. Its main feature is involvement in the process of all participants, and each participant has a certain role. The bottom line is that not only the team is working on the solution of the problem, but all those who are interested in the solution of the problem, not just put it and relaxed, but constantly "work" with the team, and this work does not mean only constant monitoring. In addition to managing software development projects, Scrum can also be used in the work of software support teams, or as an approach to managing the development and maintenance of programs.Thus, the development methodology of Scrum is unique in its way, allowing to look at the problem through the eyes of different people and find the golden mean for the project.The second business model for consideration, I chose the model of co-investment in ideas. Fans collect money for what they like. Sharing and sharing technology unites the impulse of one user who wants to donate a particular artist or writer money to create a work, with hundreds of other fans with a similar desire (and it does not take much effort to do this), as a result of which you can collect a considerable amount.

For example, the company ZTE began raising funds by crowdsourcing to the Hawkeye smartphone. Its concept is created by the users themselves and implies, in particular, the ability to control the device with the eyes, which will be very useful for people with disabilities or injured with limbs. The main innovation of the device will be technology i-tracking, which will track the movements of the eyes of users. This will allow, for example, to scroll web pages with the help of moving pupils.On this I will probably finish the article, but in conclusion I want to say, I do not think there are any bad software development or business models, there is not the correct application of them where the model does not work and vice versa, for any model there is always a place, the main thing is to understand how it Works and what to expect of it.
