Methodology – Clear Entry, Clean Execution
Clear entry, clean execution: Our proven formats – Approach, Workshop, and Audit – help you reach reliable decisions and tangible results quickly.
Why Methodology Matters
Successful software projects rarely fail because of technology – they fail due to unclear requirements, poor communication, or a lack of structure. That's why we've developed proven methods that give you clarity and confidence from day one.
Whether you're planning an entirely new system, looking to modernize an existing one, or simply want an independent perspective on your IT landscape – our structured formats ensure you reach well-founded decisions quickly and achieve measurable results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Methodology
Do I have to choose just one format?
No, the formats can also be combined. Many clients start with a workshop, then conduct an audit, and subsequently move into implementation. During our initial consultation, we'll recommend what makes the most sense for your situation.
How long does a typical project take?
That depends heavily on the scope. A workshop takes 1-2 days, an audit 1-2 weeks. Development projects range from a few weeks for MVPs to several months for complex systems. We provide a realistic estimate upfront.
Do you work agile or waterfall?
We work in a hybrid manner and adapt to your requirements. When the scope is well-defined, a phased approach may make sense. For evolving requirements, we rely on agile methods with regular iterations and feedback loops.
What does a workshop or audit cost?
Workshops start from EUR 3,000, audits from EUR 5,000 depending on scope. During our initial consultation, we clarify your specific needs and prepare an individual proposal. The investment in a thorough analysis typically pays for itself many times over.
