How We Work

We ideate (brainstorm, flesh out) the proposed system or application with you to determine your needs, wants and desires of the system. This includes discovery and is usually during our first meetings.

We scope the range of the system from initial release to future areas of the problem space. A scope document isn’t set in stone but it helps us all be aware of how much effort we are committing to and helps fight inadvertent “scope creep”.

We design the system based on your needs and our projection of how to best build a robust and extensible solution. This is presented to you, often including a proof-of-concept app and the design may be revised based on your feedback.

We plan the project in collaboration with you, combining the design with cost and time estimates that detail our strategy for delivering your application on time and on budget.

We develop the application with built-in test cases (unit tests) and continuous integration which allows for frequent testing and demonstration of the system and ongoing progress on the development plan. Technical documentation and a QA plan are products of the development phase as well.

We test early and often as development is underway. Based on the application, there are integrated tests, to test the application from soup to nuts, and performance tests, to stress the system and ensure it will not result in unacceptable delays for users or other, integrated systems. Tests are formalized to serve as long-term documentation to enable regression testing when and as needed.

We deliver the system according to plans that make sense in your organization. Pilot or phased releases, shadow processing with concurrent operation of new and replaced systems and geographically-distributed releases are all options for making deployments safe, manageable and successful.
