The full cycle of product development consist of: product design (research, product design and requirements analysis, user experience design, visual design), software development, software testing, product launch and support. The development of software is based mainly on agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, RUP, XP, etc.). Collaboration with universities enables IT-company to significantly speed up the process of release of the new product to market, focus on key technologies and products. The stages of development such as software, research technology, algorithms, interface solutions, visual design or user experience design can be improved through cooperation with technical universities. The algorithm of choosing university as a partner for IT-company is proposed in the article. It depends on the main goals of cooperation for the company (marketing, studying, research and development). The university rate can be built on general and project indexes. The effective ways of cooperation can be realized through diploma works, competitions, grants, student’s practices. Conclusions and directions of further researches. It is very necessary to identify and promote the cooperation between academic programs, research works and IT-industry as a high speed development infrastructure. The main feature of such cooperation is a positive economic influence on both partners.
