Flexible Model
Because everyone’s journey is different, we are flexible to help with as much or as little as you need.
Our trusted network of partners covers the full spectrum of soft and hard skills in software development, with roles and functions like Ops, Product and Project Managers, Architects, UI/UX Designers, Developers, DevOps and QA Engineers, Digital Marketers, Tech Trainers and more.
In some scenarios, non-technical functions can be as important for success as technical roles, especially in larger projects; you might not need all we can offer in your journey, but rest assured we got you covered if you do.
Phases and Types of Engagement
Discovery
Very early and before starting any work, brainstorm with a subject matter expert, and if needed, kick-off a short time engagement with the right specialists to explore your ideas, or even build a proof-of-concept to have them validated.Â
Assessment and Estimation
In this phase, we focus on gathering requirements and putting together a tentative roadmap that can help us get a good idea of effort, resources, and potential cost.
If no detailed requirements exist beforehand, we might suggest engaging in a pre-project assessment so we can put the right resources and energy into it, given it could take good time and effort for us to gather the necessary information to produce a more accurate estimation.Â
Product Design and Prototyping
The creative minds get to do what they do best! We collaborate with you to paint a picture of what is to be built, we can use mock-ups, wireframes, prototypes, or any other method that are relevant to the project and can help in our communication.
We like to give this process good attention, specially to identify foundational pieces and principles, because as we say, it is much easier and cheaper to adjust a draft on paper than it is to move a solid wall around 😊
Scoping and Managing
Once we have a good picture of what the team will build, we produce a list of features and prioritize them based on what matters to you most, we can then break them down into workable chunks so the technical team can iteratively bring them to life.
A Project Manager or Scrum Master can greatly help on this part, from scoping and breaking down the work into tasks, to overseeing the day-to-day to keep the trains in track and in time.
Development and Deployment
Our team of experienced engineers builds the product, we like to deliver it in small increments to get constant feedback and ensure we are moving in the right direction; for most types of development an increment can take between one to two Weeks.
For projects that have specific infrastructure or configuration requirements, we might also suggest involving one or more of our trusted Cloud, DevOps or IT/Ops engineers to help.
