The Blueprint

In the initial phase of discovery, we intervene to assist in molding your concept and furnishing you with a preliminary plan outlining the necessary steps forward.

Building Step 1
01
Establishing Scope and Providing Rough Estimates
Transfer of Knowledge

You supply us with essential documents, materials, and information, enabling a thorough understanding of your business objectives and a detailed evaluation of your software proposal.

Analysis and Recommendations

After reviewing the provided materials, we offer guidance on the scope and framework for a proof of concept, MVP, and outline the forthcoming project phases, team size, project boundaries, and other critical details.

Initial Exploration

Our first conversation is an opportunity to dive deep into your business and product vision. This initial interaction helps us to familiarize ourselves with one another and assess the potential for a collaborative partnership.

Following this, you will make a decision regarding our cooperation and whether there is a need for a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to be signed.

OUR ROLE:
Reviewing the materials and assessing your market to propose the extent of the MVP and offer a preliminary estimation.
YOUR ROLE:
To share your experience and insights, supply extra information if necessary.
02
Initial workshops
Exploratory phase for products

We organize a Exploratory Workshop aimed to help you validate your business ideas, providing detailed development process guidelines, and facilitating introductions with our team.

OUR ROLE:
Facilitating workshops, recommending processes, solutions, and technology options informed by our past expertise and tailored to your requirements.
YOUR ROLE:
Engaging with the team, articulating your expectations and keeping an open mind.
03
Results of the workshop
Here's what you receive

Post-workshop, our team will need a few days to generate the initial artifacts that will serve as the foundation once we begin the development process. These outputs are tailored based on your product's needs and all the insights acquired throughout the workshops.

OUR ROLE:
Preparing wireframes/sitemap, user stories, drafting team proposals, detailed estimates and a roadmap.
YOUR ROLE:
Provide feedback on provided materials.
04
Before the Project begins
Final agreements

While trust is fundamental in business collaborations, we also emphasize the importance of documenting all your specifications and the detailed terms of the project. Upon agreeing on the final project terms, we will send a Master Service Agreement (MSA) to sign.

Kick-off

Once the final contract is signed, you will be introduced to your designated project manager and the rest of the team members, marking the beginning of the development process.

OUR ROLE:
Finalizing the documentation and refining the development plan.
YOUR ROLE:
Reviewing and signing the project terms and Master Service Agreement.

Sprint 0

The first week marks the phase of implementation, which includes configuring the environment, installing necessary technologies, defining processes, and more. During this time, we collaboratively prioritize the backlog of application features for design and development.

Building Step 2
In addition to the project manager and tech lead, we assemble a specialized team of developers, designers, and quality assurance experts tailored to the specific needs of each project. This team works collaboratively under the guidance of the project manager to ensure that all milestones are met on schedule and that the development process is transparent and efficient. The tech lead ensures technical excellence, setting coding standards, conducting code reviews, and troubleshooting complex issues. Together, this team strives not only to meet the project's goals but also to exceed client expectations by delivering high-quality, scalable, and user-centric solutions.
OUR ROLE:
Reviewing the materials and assessing your market to propose the extent of the MVP and offer a preliminary estimation.
YOUR ROLE:
To share your experience and insights, supply extra information if necessary.

Iterations

Following sprints are dedicated to executing user stories tied to particular features. Employing the Agile approach ensures our efforts are in sync with your objectives, as we maintain regular contact and perform consistent iterations. At the end of each sprint, we showcase the outcomes in a demo meeting, after which a feature may be sent back for refinement or queued for deployment/release. Through daily standups, planning sessions, and retrospective meetings, we sustain progress and foster trust among team members.

Building Step 3
OUR ROLE:
Building beautiful piece of software.
YOUR ROLE:
Maintaining communication and offering ongoing feedback to the team.
Design (optional)
We oversee the UI/UX design process, where our designers will map out user journeys. After approval from you and the development team, these prototypes evolve into the actual user interface.
Development
Our developers create features based on the provided design specifications, with a strong emphasis on efficiency and responsive design. We place a high priority on unit testing and automated testing to ensure the product is free of bugs.
Code Review
Developers maintain code quality and compliance with standards by engaging in code reviews, a Q&A process for their written code.
Quality Assurance
Prior to launch, our QA specialists conduct thorough testing of features across multiple browsers and devices to guarantee impeccable functionality.

Release

We deploy your app to the production environment! Should you choose to gather feedback from your beta users at this stage, our product design specialists will collaborate closely with you. They will organize and conduct user interviews, meticulously documenting the sessions to capture key insights. These insights, combined with a retrospective meeting for the production team, will inform the planning of upcoming sprints.

Building Step 4
Development doesn’t end with the MVP—it’s just the beginning. Once your MVP goes live, we work with you to craft a growth roadmap, ensuring that your product scales efficiently and can meet future demands. In the following sprints, we prioritize adding impactful features that enhance the user experience, boost engagement, and bring additional value to your users. By actively gathering user feedback and monitoring industry trends, our team is poised to make improvements that keep your product aligned with its vision and objectives.
