Abstract—This paper introduces a new process that integrates inventive problem-solving methods into modern software development. The central research question addresses how tech startups can enhance their software development processes with minimal project management expertise. The Systematic Innovation Mounted Software Development Process, which blends Agile and Systematic Innovation, offers an alternative framework to facilitate idea generation in software products. This intuitive project management framework empowers technology-driven companies to manage their projects more effectively. The study aims to provide guidelines for entrepreneurs to manage projects successfully. By collaborating with the existing Agile model, the Systematic Innovation model fosters creativity and innovative problem-solving. Ultimately, this new software development process and its techniques have the potential to significantly impact the software industry, particularly for startups, as they alleviate managerial burdens and allow companies to focus on their core technologies.
