Application Development Process

Most application developers follow the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), but what sets us apart is in the way we execute.

Consult and Design

Sometimes you have an idea, but you don’t know how to implement it. We consult with clients who lack practical experience. This discovery process includes a work session to document your business needs and processes. We deliver a document with the necessary functional specifications and an option for technology tutorials that allow you to move forward with the resources you choose.

Stakeholder Input

A work session with key stakeholders documents how you currently are meeting the needs of end users and what would improve their experience. This process assures we are solving concrete problems that offer the greatest ROI.

Discovery

With the challenges defined, we research the optimum technologies, design and create workflows, and test scenarios to validate the proposed solution.

Deliverables

The Functional Specification document details key features of the project—its appearance, intended capabilities, methodologies and system specifications. It serves as the development team’s master guide to understand the planning and architecture needed for completion.

Implementation

During this cycle, the development team builds the application based on requirements in earlier plans. As Agile developers, we prefer meeting every couple of weeks with stakeholders to review progress towards objectives and get early feedback.
