Core values
CLIENTS
Their success is our success. Clients are at the heart of everything we do—they are our passion and our pride.
TEAM SPIRIT
Team spirit is the basis of our positive and cheerful environment, and top results. The problem of one of our individuals is the problem of our entire community, and also we celebrate success together.
AGILITY
Move Quickly. We embrace change. We are decisive and move quickly to keep pace with our customers and outpace the competition.
ONE ANKORA ONE TEAM
Our people are our greatest asset. If we respect one another and work together, we are unstoppable.
Agile project management
Software teams have been embracing agile project management methodologies for nearly a decade, increasing their speed, collaboration, and ability to respond to market trends.
But what is it, and can it help your software team? Here is everything you need to know to get started or refine, your agile project management practices.
SPRINT PLANNING
A team planning meeting that determines what to complete in the coming sprint.
SPRINT DEMO
A sharing meeting where the team shows what they’ve shipped in that sprint.
DAILY STANDUP
Also known as a stand-up, a 15-minute mini-meeting for the software team to sync.
RETROSPECTIVE
A review of what did and didn’t go well with actions to make the next sprint better.
Strategic partner
We are a specialized company offering a dedicated team of professionals working and closely cooperating with an in-house team. Our agency is located in the same time zone, and it enables easy communication.We operate in Central European Time zone while we are incorporated in Bosnia’s capital Sarajevo.
RISK REDUCTION
When you launch a new product you don’t know if it will succeed. Hiring a whole team of developers involves the costs of employment contracts, office renting and purchasing equipment. In the case of market failure, this will be extra money that you can lose. In the case of cooperation with the software house, you don’t incur such costs.
FULL CULTURAL ALIGNMENT
Business culture and customs in Western, Northern, Central and Eastern Europe are largely the same. The only issue to consider is different national holidays. Good English skills are also very important.
GOOD COMMUNICATION
In the nearshore model time zones do not interfere with communication because the work hours of both sides overlap. Good software houses also use task control tools, which reduce the amount of time needed for meetings and results in more efficient work.
Outsource
Ankora has many years of experience in remote work and management of remote teams based in Bosnia and Herzegovina for clients in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, France, the USA, and the Middle East, under an outsourcing model.
QUALITY OF WORKFORCE AND HIGH LEVEL OF EDUCATION
Although being a relatively small country our educational system is highly esteemed and recognized internationally. The availability of educated and competitive professionals, a great geostrategic location, and inexpensive labor rates are just some of the strong points that make Bosnia and Herzegovina an attractive labor market, and our company as a highly desirable outsourcing partner.
GEOGRAPHICAL AND CULTURAL PROXIMITY
Sarajevo has a convenient location and can be easily reached by plane from the EU (1-2 hour flight) and USA (around 8 hours from the East Coast). The time difference (UTC +2) makes project management and aligning working schedules easy with EU, USA and Canada based companies. English is a standard in Bosnian schools, so our programmers usually use it very well. You shouldn’t be afraid of communication problems.
COSTS
Our IT Outsourcers provide excellent technical expertise and innovation along with competitive pricing compared to software development companies in the USA and EU.
