How we work
A process designed to remove surprises
Ten clear phases from the first conversation to years of reliable operation. You always know what is happening, what comes next, and what it costs.
10 steps · 4 phases
01Principles
Four principles behind every project
- 01
Working software beats slide decks — you review real builds, not mockups
- 02
Two-week increments keep you in control of priorities and budget
- 03
Every phase ends with a documented, verifiable deliverable
- 04
Fixed pricing per phase, so the scope you approve is the price you pay
02The ten phases
From discovery to scale, step by step
Each phase produces a concrete deliverable you can review. Nothing is locked in early — we adjust as we learn, and you approve every step.
Plan
Understand the problem and agree on what is worth building.
Step 01 / 10
Discovery
We learn your business, users, and constraints before a line of code is written.
Duration: 1–2 weeks
We start with structured conversations with stakeholders, a review of how your team works today, and a look at the tools and systems you already run. The goal is to understand the problem precisely — not to sell you a solution.
Deliverables
- Clear problem statement
- Stakeholder alignment
- Initial scope outline
Step 02 / 10
Requirements Analysis
Discovery findings become a prioritized, testable set of requirements.
Duration: 1–2 weeks
We translate what we learned into concrete functional and non-functional requirements. Each requirement is written so it can be verified in testing, and everything is prioritized against your business goals.
Deliverables
- Prioritized requirement list
- Acceptance criteria
- Non-functional targets (speed, security)
Step 03 / 10
Product Strategy
We agree on what to build first — and what to deliberately leave out.
Duration: 1 week
Working with you, we define the minimum product that delivers real value, sequence the roadmap, and set measurable success metrics. If you already have a roadmap, we pressure-test it against user need and effort.
Deliverables
- MVP scope and roadmap
- Success metrics
- Release plan
Design
Shape the experience and the technical blueprint before code.
Step 04 / 10
UI/UX Design
Interfaces are prototyped and tested before development begins.
Duration: 2–4 weeks
Our designers turn the strategy into wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes. Flows are validated with real users where possible, and a design system keeps every screen consistent through development.
Deliverables
- Clickable prototypes
- Design system
- Usability feedback
Step 05 / 10
Architecture Planning
The technical blueprint — chosen for the problem, not the hype.
Duration: 1 week
We select the stack, design the data model, and define the system boundaries. The architecture plan documents security, scalability, integration, and deployment approach so the team builds with the end in mind.
Deliverables
- Technical architecture doc
- Stack and data model
- Deployment topology
Build
Ship working, tested software in two-week increments.
Step 06 / 10
Development
Working software delivered in two-week increments you can see.
Duration: Ongoing
We build in sprints, shipping usable slices of the product every two weeks. You review real software — not slide decks — and we adjust priorities based on what you see.
Deliverables
- Shippable increments every 2 weeks
- Versioned source and docs
- Code reviews and clean history
Step 07 / 10
Quality Assurance
Automated and manual testing protects the product and your reputation.
Duration: Continuous
Every release passes automated tests, code review, and a manual QA pass that covers the flows users actually touch. Accessibility and performance are checked as part of QA, not as an afterthought.
Deliverables
- Automated test coverage
- Manual QA sign-off
- Accessibility and performance checks
Run
Release safely, watch production, and keep improving.
Step 08 / 10
Deployment
Releases to production are automated, verified, and reversible.
Duration: 1–2 days
We deploy through a CI/CD pipeline to your cloud environment. Deployments include database migrations, smoke tests, and a documented rollback path. You get a link to a staging environment to review before anything goes live.
Deliverables
- Zero-downtime deployment
- Rollback plan
- Monitoring live
Step 09 / 10
Monitoring
We watch the system in production and act before problems surface.
Duration: Continuous
After launch we track uptime, errors, performance, and usage. Alerts reach the right person, and a weekly health report shows you exactly how the system is performing.
Deliverables
- Uptime and error dashboards
- Alerting on real issues
- Weekly health report
Step 10 / 10
Maintenance & Scaling
We stay on as the product grows — adding features and capacity as needed.
Duration: Ongoing
Software is never finished. We provide ongoing maintenance, security updates, and feature development, and we scale the infrastructure as your usage grows. You always know what you are paying for.
Deliverables
- Scheduled updates
- Feature roadmap execution
- Cost-efficient scaling
