Our development process .

Our ever-evolving bespoke software development process simplifies a complex journey, giving clients a clear, streamlined path and delivering solutions built for success from day one, whatever the size or complexity.

Discovery & Definition

We listen to your business requirements and objectives to decipher what is the optimal approach and whether any RnD is required.

A definition of the system is then established and showcased via a range of discovery resources.

Style Guide, Prototyping & User Stories

Key outputs of Discovery include a full UX prototype, with a complete UI style guide, that achieves a 95%+ life-like visual of your solution.

User stories will accompany this, to provide clarity for any debatable logic and functions.

Software Development

Once the outputs from Discovery are signed-off, our Development Team will begin iteratively building your solution out in code, in Development.

This will be led by a Technical Lead, who issues briefing cards and conducts daily catch-ups.

Internal QA & UAT

To achieve a robust solution that meets the brief, our Development Team will test their own work, followed by a full review by a QA Specialist.

After this a UAT Plan is issued, enabling our client to efficiently complete a full UAT exercise.

Deployment & Go-Live

Once the UAT site has been signed off a Deployment date and time will be scheduled – in which we will make the solution operational.

As part of this hosting config. and roll-back/contingency options will be explored and agreed.

Ongoing Support & Maintenance

After launch, our well trusted and highly regarded Support Team will be on hand to assist with any ad-hoc bug fixing, user issues and technical upgrades.

Any new system additions and/or changes can also be explored in a new project.
