Self-SDG Partners' Meeting in Seville: A Step Towards a Sustainable Future

On October 3rd and 4th, 2024, the Self-SDG consortium got together in the vibrant city of Seville, Spain. Hosted by IES Cristóbal de Monroy and the Avantia Foundation, this meeting aimed to monitor the project’s progress and establish the pathway to achieve the expected impact by the end of the project.  

We remind you that the Self-SDG project’s objective is to capitalize on the power of education and innovation as catalysts for sustainable change, raising awareness about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and actively contributing to their realization.  

The research work conducted so far within the project led to the definition of the final requirements for the Self-SDG mobile application, which were shaped during the Seville meeting. This tool, designed and implemented by ASSIST Software, will help users evaluate and enhance their commitment to the SDGs, promoting the adoption of sustainable behaviors as a way of life.  

Users of the Self-SDG app will be able to: 

  • Evaluate their engagement: Through a series of insightful questions, users can determine their current level of involvement with each of the SDGs. 
  • Receive personalized recommendations: Based on their responses, the app offers tailored challenges and recommendations to help users increase their commitment to sustainability. 
  • Engage with interactive features: The app integrates educational content, technological tools, and interactive functionalities to keep users motivated and informed. 

The meeting in Seville marked a significant milestone in the Self-SDG project. With the final details in place, the partners are now focused on the app's successful launch and widespread adoption. Stay tuned for more updates on the Self-SDG project, and join us in our mission to create a better, more sustainable world for all! 

The Self-SDG project is funded by the ERASMUS+ KA220-SCH program of the European Union and submitted under project ID 2023-1-ES01-KA220-SCH-000156653.

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.
