We have found an efficient method for the completion of our web projects that allows our clients (yes, that's you), to change your mind as often as you want, as well as add new tasks throughout the process. We use a method called SCRUM, an internationally renowned model for software development. After a test period is completed in the fall of 2008, all our web development projects will be completed using the SCRUM model.

This is How Devant Uses SCRUM in Web Projects
SCRUM allows for the specification and functionality of the software or web system to be altered at any time.The project consultant communicates with each respective client, and is in charge of managing and prioritizing tasks and functionality.
Functionality, tasks and deadlines will be defined for each SPRINT (a period of development that can last between 2-4 weeks).
A separate SCRUM team is in charge of the development and will work independently for the entire duration of the SPRINT. One of the developers, the SCRUM "master", is responsible for all ongoing delegation of tasks and follow-ups. An important part of SCRUM is that everything is broken down to tasks, each of which can be completed within 8-16 hours.
An evaluation is performed every 24 hours, and requires each system developer to provide a thorough report tasks performed, as well as next day's schedule. Challenges will be addressed, if any. Each SPRINT finishes with a client meeting where we'll present the completed system.
This process is repeated until the final delievery has been completed.
