All of our guidelines, standards and technical information supporting our methodology, languages, etc., are available to clients on our business wiki Bright Carvings.

The fact that a client login is now required for Bright Carvings might cause problems for some of you. We've noticed a large number of Google hits on certain files. To be as helpful and open as possible, the most popular files are now co-located here:

  • Joint Venture Agreement -

    4XTRA is a joint venture and this is the constitution under which we have worked for years. It scores highly on Google searches, which surprises us as we thought it was only relevant to our situation, so we make it public.

  • Confidentiality Agreement -

    this is our standard agreement, based on years of working in the finance sector and has been signed without change by many major organisations, so we offer it as a good example

  • Service Agreements -

    in these days of increasing bureaucratic burdens it is important to have clear agreements compatible with legislation such are IR35. This is an example of an agreement which has served us well from both sides of the divide for several years.

We offer these, without any proof or claim that they are superior to other documents, merely that they have worked for us and may help you, whoever you are.

4XTRA uses its own agile project methodology, with some elements derived from DSDM, eXtreme Programming, etc. We are always researching the latest project management techniques, and try to incorporate new useful ideas within our existing methodology.
