Our Process

You are engaged throughout the project, collaborating with the team, and making critical decisions based on business value, priority, scope and budget. The more involved you are in the project, the more successful it will be.

Discover & Understand

Our goal is to collaborate with you to quickly craft a picture of the future. We bring our “top dogs” to gain consensus and clarity on the business objectives we can achieve together.

Light Weight Design

Let's quickly make our idea more tangible by creating a story map and low-fidelity storyboard. We look at how the key roles interact to provide input into a Minimally Viable Product (MVP) idea and priorities.

Story Decomposition & Release Planning

Starting with the features identified from our story map and MVP definition, we add detail for consumption by a development team. Our story cards provide the foundation for planning and tracking our work, including an evaluation of risks and dependencies. We include the whole team to ensure sizing, initial design and architectures are understood.

Design & Development

We bake quality in right from the start using disciplined approaches like Acceptance Test Driven Design (ATDD) and Test Driven Development (TDD) to ensure industry-leading quality. Enhancing communication and collaboration with you is done by daily standups, a whole team focus and progresses measured by working software approved by you. The total cost of ownership is reduced by craftsmanship and leveraging the latest technologies including Rails, Java, .Net and continuous integration/deployment.

Demonstrate & Retrospect

You and your stakeholders will see new working software at least every two weeks, giving you a measure of real progress. Together we will apply a keen eye to how things went - good and bad - to constantly tune our approach.
