Last L2L Entrepreneurship Erasmus+ project meeting at ASSIST Software in Suceava -

Dear friends, our journey is almost complete. During the last two years, the 6 partners of the consortium have been working together to reach the objectives of the L2L Entrepreneurship Erasmus+ project. With this last newsletter, we would like to recall the main steps of our work and show what we managed to realize until now and how it can be useful also after the project's lifetime.

PARTNERSHIP MEETINGS

The whole consortium met in London on the 26th and the 27th of January 2017, hosted by the British partner Employability Town. Apart from management and financial issues, the main focus of this meeting was the revision of the modules activities and innovative contents according to feedback received during the pre-testing phase realized in Module 2.

Then the partners met again on 30th-31st May 2017 in Suceava, hosted by the Romanian partner Assist. This time they took as a starting point the results of the testing activities of the whole training course, already taken by more than 200 people, and they discussed if any revision of activities and contents as needed. Partners were extremely pleased by noticing that the overall rating of the training course was very satisfactory, with comments ranging from "very useful if you want to start a business" to "very interactive and not just words on a page!".

Video testimonials about the training experience are available on the YouTube channel of the project!

RESULTS

During the project lifetime partners have been especially focused on producing an online training course structured to support low skill young people to learn how to become entrepreneurs. We always took in mind that we had to develop a course both rich in useful theoretical contents and engaging, with activities and exercises.

The journey towards the design of the training course included:

  • The definition of the training course structure. All the partners were committed to define the right contents to be included in the course and to build a stand-alone resource that when disseminated across Europe can be used by any individual or organization in order to foster sustainability of the results;
  • The design of a free, user-friendly E-Learning Platform where modules are currently available. Partners have been worked in a cooperative way, supported by the technical partner Assist to produce a highly interactive and innovative course;
  • The production of the video lessons about the course topics, currently available on the platform and also on the project YouTube channel. The consortium has been working together at all the stages of this activity, including the design of guidelines for filming and post-production of the materials.

All partners contributed at their best to the design and creation of the L2L training course, which hopefully will help lots of young entrepreneurs to realize their business idea.

The L2L Entrepreneurship Project is co-funded by the ERASMUS+ program of the European Union and submitted under key action: cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices, action type: strategic partnerships, with the project number: 2015-1-ES01-KA202-015594.

The L2L Entrepreneurship project is formed of 6 partners from 5 countries (Spain, Romania represented by our company - ASSIST Software, Italy, Greece, and the UK).

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is ASSIST Software's development process?  

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

2. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?  

ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.

3. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?  

We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.   

  • A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)   
  • Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.    
  • Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).   
  • Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).

4. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?

We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions. 

Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.  

SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services. 

5. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?  

We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.   

  • Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.   
  • Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.   
  • Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.   

Contact us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
