Helping organizations navigate complexity, capitalize on opportunities, and accelerate growth through customized strategies.
We begin by understanding your goals and defining clear expectations to ensure alignment from the start. During this phase, we also review technical assumptions and any limitations to identify the best approach and avoid surprises later on. You'll be invited to comment on the scope during this collaborative phase.
Timeline: We typically share an initial scope within 24-48 hours. The scope review can take anywhere from days to weeks depending on your level of revision.
Next, we will write everything up in a detailed plan that outlines how we’ll develop your software, covering timelines, costs, technology choices, and key milestones. It will also contain all the fine print about liability, non-disclosure agreements, etc. This gives you a clear picture of what to expect before we start.
Timeline: We're typically able to share a proposal back with you within 24-48 hours of finalizing the project scope.
Our development team then builds your software solution, keeping you updated with regular progress and involving you in feedback loops to make sure the product meets your vision and business needs. You are free to be as involved or not involved as you please.
After launch, we continue to support you by addressing any issues, providing maintenance, and making improvements to ensure your software performs smoothly and scales with your growth. If bugs come up, or you change your mind about something, we'll make sure those are taken care of.
