Robust reporting with a review workflow and flexible data export
By removing the burden of manual time reporting, Agile and Finance leaders can better understand the true impact of Agile teams to the bottom line and report Agile software development costs to ensure proper CAPEX categorization and compliance with accounting standards.
The software capitalization rules in GAAP vary for internal-use and for external-use software and apply different accounting treatment to the stages of the software development life cycle in a waterfall-style creating a disconnect between the Accounting and Agile software development practices.
| Stage | Example activities | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Research / Planning | Market research, requirements gathering, technology evaluation | EXPENSED |
| Development | Actual software development (coding, testing) | CAPITALIZED |
| Implementation / Post-launch | Training, customer service, bug fixing, promotion activities | EXPENSED |
Refer to the software capitalization guide to learn more.
