Methodology

Agile, waterfall, or strict scrum? All product-development methodologies have their merits, but we’ve found agile and iterative procedures to be the most reliable ways of getting our clients where they need to go. That said, we’re happy to do things your way to mesh with your needs and schedules.

No matter the methodology, we kick off all development work with a written requirements document. This gives our engineers the context they need to do great architecture and design work.

Product Life Cycle

We think hard about product life cycle and how much it differs for, say, shrink-wrap software versus a constantly refreshed web site or mobile app. We execute all technical life cycle phases, including architecture, design, prototyping, development, testing, and deployment. And for non-technical but equally essential life cycle milestones such as product requirements and marketing, our expert consultants are happy to offer guidance.

Managing to Delivery Dates

You need an amazing product, and you have an aggressive timeline. We won’t blink. To ensure on-time delivery, we front-load risk whenever possible and we always identify dependencies in advance. When dates are flexible, we work closely with you to track progress as we make mid-course adjustments—pretty common when developing version 1.0 products.
