Agile Development at Afriq Silicon

Every agency says it works in sprints. That tells you almost nothing about what it is like to have one build your software. So here is how we actually run projects.

What our sprints actually look like

We run two-week sprints, each ending with a demo of working software and a retrospective that decides what changes in the next one. Day to day the work is tracked in ClickUp, with a prioritized backlog of user stories behind it.

The part that does most of the work is the deployment pipeline. Docker for packaging, GitHub Actions for the deploy, and Pulumi for infrastructure as code, so that a two-week increment can genuinely reach an environment you can click around in. Sprints that end in a slide deck rather than a running URL are where the model quietly stops working. This is part of our broader System Orchestration capability.

Where it fits

Two-week increments suit projects where the requirements are likely to move, which covers most software projects. If your scope is genuinely fixed and well understood, a heavier process may serve you better, and we will say so.

If you want to see how we would sequence your project, our Product Design & Implementation and Team as a Service offerings are the two places to start. Get in touch and we will walk through it.
