Our Process

How We Build Product

From first conversation to production — a structured, transparent process designed around your business. No black boxes, no surprises.

Four stages. Full transparency.

01

Scope

We listen first. An engagement manager, solution architect, and delivery manager work together to understand your challenges, define requirements, and prepare an honest estimate.

  • Define your business challenges and initial requirements
  • Technology recommendation based on your specific needs
  • Realistic rough estimate with honest costs
  • NDA signed before sharing confidential information
02

Discover

We dig into your business — market analysis, user research, wireframes, and a full specification. You get a project plan with realistic timelines before a line of code is written.

  • Business analysis and competitor research
  • UX/UI research and wireframe design
  • Software requirements specification
  • Technical architecture and project plan
03

Build

Two-week sprints. Design, develop, test, deploy, review. You see working software every fortnight. Budget is tracked per subtask — no surprises.

  • Sprint backlog from prioritised product backlog
  • Iterative deployment — see results as they’re built
  • Budget checked against estimates each sprint
  • Demo presentations and sprint reports every two weeks
04

Support

We don’t disappear after launch. Dedicated support contracts keep your product running, updated, and improving.

  • Post-release maintenance and bug fixes
  • Full-time (160 hrs/mo) or part-time (80 hrs/mo) options
  • Continuous improvement based on real usage data
  • Flexible contract terms — minimum two months

Flexible methodology

We choose the development approach that fits your project — not the other way around.

Adaptive

Discovery and development run in parallel. Fastest path to market with flexibility to change direction.

Best for: New products where speed matters

Predictive

Full scope defined upfront. Fixed requirements eliminate budget and timeline deviation.

Best for: Clear requirements and fixed budgets

Incremental

Feature-by-feature delivery. Budget per increment, revised as requirements evolve.

Best for: Upgrades and evolving products

Outsourced

Our team integrates into your existing process. No discovery stage — we join at development.

Best for: Team augmentation and post-release support

Your team

The team scales with your project. A typical sub-team includes:

2 per platform
Developers
1
QA Specialist
1
UI/UX Designer
1
Project Manager
1
Business Analyst

For larger projects, teams scale up to 30-40 specialists across multiple sub-teams.
