Although there is never such thing as a “perfect” project, there are certainly characteristics that we look for when qualifying a prospective project opportunity.  Listed below are some of the core characteristics that we evaluate when determining whether or not a prospective project is a good fit with AgileTek’s business model.  These characteristics also help our clients evaluate which projects within their portfolio are a good match for AgileTek’s value proposition. 

We intentionally only accept projects that are a good fit for our model, and throughout the years have found that this scrutiny has resulted in a distinguished track record of successful projects and a legacy of repeat business from our customer base.

By no means do we expect a prospective project to be an exact match to all of the criteria listed below, but we do look for a match in several of the key areas.

• Duration: 6 months or greater
• Project based
• Core development is done on-site at AgileTek’s Chicago office
