Our Process
A consistent, well-defined process keeps us all on the same page. We know from experience that communicating early and often is critical to success. Here's generally how we work:
Understand
1
We're not interested in selling you something you don't need. Our first goal is to understand your business objectives and get aligned. From here our team will research, discuss, and make recommendations. We'll also define our communication routes - we're in this together now!
Plan
2
Most projects work best using a combination of iterative development AND up-front planning. Now that we know our goals, we set out to develop a plan of action. Collaborating with your team, we'll generate a framework and roadmap for reaching our goal within the timeframe. We'll outline risks, dependencies, and backup plans. We don't leave our shared goals to chance - we plan to overcome challenges.
Build
3
Here is where the rubber meets the road. Our teams get down to work. As we build, we practice rigorous transparency. This includes regular updates via a shared Slack channel, 24/7 lines of communication, weekly demos, and hosted staging environments for you to see your vision come to life.
Test & Review
4
As we build, we write tests to ensure rapid future development. An appropriate suite of automated tests should enable safe, regression-free feature development while minimally increasing development time. We'll frequently review with your team to make sure we are on-track. This is where the open communication and partnership aspect is really critical! Our agile, iterative development style means we can pivot if your goals change.
Iterate
5
Software products work best when there is an element of continued iteration. Some companies call this “maintenance”. We like to think of your project as a living being that may need to change and grow over time. We're here for it! After launch, we aim to remain your partners for years to come - always available to jump back in.
