| Team | The KatApp backend is being developed by students on the Professional Software Engineering programme at Reutlingen University. |
| Schedule | The new development was launched in March 2023 and will take 1 year to complete. Once development is complete, a functional system must be available. |
| Process model | Scrum is used as a process model due to its flexibility, transparency and iterative approach. |
| Development Tools | The free Visual Studio Code is used as the development environment. Thanks to the extensions, it is easily customisable to our requirements. |
| Version management | Git is used for version management. The code is hosted on GitHub. |
| Release as Open Source | In the long term, the source code is to be made available as open source. Therefore, attention must be paid to the licence of third-party code and libraries. |
