SCRUM: The Software Development Process Behind RepairEngine®

Filed under: Press Releases

Conyers, GA -- June 2, 2009 -- Lexicon Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of multi-vendor barcode and enterprise mobility equipment maintenance and repair services, Lexicon-Certified™ legacy barcode equipment, and RepairEngine®, the revolutionary Service Management system that delivers a "better repair experience", is continuing to develop new features and updates for RepairEngine® using the SCRUM Software Development Process.  SCRUM is a development methodology designed to create shippable product increments in a relatively short amount of time, even a month or less.  This allows increments to go online as they are built and tested, resulting in much faster new feature deployment.

“By using the SCRUM Process, we can roll out new RepairEngine® features quickly while still maintaining the quality of the product”, said Lexicon CEO Travis Collins.  “Thanks to our RepairEngine® product team’s enthusiastic use of SCRUM development methods, we are making highly desirable enterprise mobility repair management features available to our customers rapidly and regularly.  We believe that the consistent deployment of new features will make RepairEngine® the easiest and most powerful tool for full-cycle online repair management.”

“The SCRUM Process helps better manage scope and expectations and facilitates communication between the customer and the developer.  This in turn gives more flexibility to the project and allows for frequent changes in scope as necessary.  Most helpfully, SCRUM gives the developer a venue to participate in the shaping of the project, and focuses on providing visible and tangible features quickly and effectively”, added RepairEngine® System Architect Jørgen von Tangen.
