SkillHelp LLTA in Volos - ASSIST Software - Suceava

As a member of the SkillHelp project consortium, ASSIST Software was invited to participate in the LTTA hosted by InnovED in the captivating city of Volos, Greece, between September 5th and 8th, 2022. In the Erasmus+ context, LTTA stands for Learning, Teaching, Training Activities and it is intended to provide partners with conceptual and procedural knowledge related to the field the project has set out to explore. We remind you that the main objective of the SkillHelp project is to enhance the soft skills of social workers, which are critical in their line of work. 

The LTTA was designed to ensure that the digital didactic content developed within the project would answer the needs of the target group, while also being interesting, innovative, and cohesive. To this end, based on their expertise, participants gave insightful presentations on key elements that need to be considered when developing the materials, including an in-depth analysis of the particularities of social work, different methodological approaches, and the technical requirements. Partners established the structure of the course, which will address ten soft skills:

  • building interpersonal relations;
  • communication;
  • negotiation;
  • empathy;
  • mediation and conflict resolution;
  • ability to empower and motivate;
  • stress and burnout resilience;
  • ethics in social work;
  • efficiency and organization skills and assertiveness.

The consortium gained first-hand knowledge of the challenges faced by workers in this sector through the participation of several experienced social workers from Cyprus, Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, and Poland, who will further contribute to the development of the course content. This will ensure that the target groups’ needs are met.  

The meeting was wrapped up with discussions on dissemination activities, project management and action points to be addressed in the coming months.   

Stay tuned for more exciting news about the SkillHelp project, as we will soon release the project website!

We remind you that SkillHelp is a project co-funded by the ERASMUS+ program of the European Union and submitted under KA220-ADU - Cooperation partnerships in adult education, with project reference 2021-1-PL01-KA220-ADU-000035104

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.
