Our Development Process
Agile, transparent, quality-assured. Every phase with clear deliverables and quality gates.
6 Phases · Quality gates after each phase · You are actively involved in every phase
Discovery & Analysis
We understand your business before we write a single line of code.
Activities
- Stakeholder interviews & requirements analysis
- Document current state and target architecture
- Define user stories & acceptance criteria
- Make technology decisions
- Risk analysis and feasibility assessment
Quality Gate
Specification document + architecture review
Deliverable
Specification, architecture diagram, sprint plan, cost framework
Your Role
You are actively involved: workshops, feedback sessions, specification sign-off.
UX/UI Design & Prototyping
Design that doesn't just look good, but feels right.
Activities
- Create wireframes and click prototypes
- User flow optimisation
- Visual design (UI) aligned with your CI
- Responsive design for all devices
- Usability review with real users
Quality Gate
Design review + user feedback
Deliverable
Clickable prototype, design system, UI component library
Your Role
You test the prototype yourself and provide feedback. Changes are still inexpensive at this stage.
Sprint Development
Every 2 weeks you see real progress. No surprises.
Activities
- Feature development in 2-week sprints
- Daily standups (internal), sprint review with you
- Code reviews (four-eyes principle)
- Automated tests (unit, integration)
- Continuous integration / deployment
Quality Gate
Sprint review + code review + test coverage > 80%
Deliverable
Working software increment after each sprint
Your Role
Sprint review every 2 weeks: you see, test, and prioritise the next features.
Quality Assurance & Testing
We test thoroughly so you can sleep soundly.
Activities
- Automated regression tests
- Manual exploratory testing
- Performance and load testing
- Security audit (OWASP Top 10)
- Cross-browser/cross-device testing
- User acceptance testing (UAT) with your team
Quality Gate
All critical bugs resolved + UAT passed + security audit green
Deliverable
Test report, performance baseline, security audit result
Your Role
You and your team test the software in a staging environment and give final approval.
Go-Live & Deployment
The big day. Planned, tested, risk-free.
Activities
- Deployment plan and rollback strategy
- Data migration (if needed)
- DNS switch / go-live
- Set up monitoring (uptime, errors, performance)
- End-user training and documentation
Quality Gate
Deployment checklist completed + monitoring green + rollback tested
Deliverable
Live system, monitoring dashboard, end-user documentation, training
Your Role
You receive an introduction to the new system and the documentation. We are on-call on go-live day.
Maintenance & Further Development
Software is never finished. We stay by your side.
Activities
- 24/7 monitoring and incident response
- Regular security updates
- Performance optimisation
- Feature development as needed
- Monthly health checks and reports
Quality Gate
SLA compliance > 99.5% + monthly health report
Deliverable
Monthly report, uptime guarantee, prioritised support
Your Role
You have a dedicated point of contact. Monthly check-ins on priorities and roadmap.
Our Quality Principles
Transparency
You can see progress at any time. No black-box development, no surprises with the final result.
Quality Gates
No phase is completed without the defined quality criteria being met.
Involvement
You are part of the team. Regular reviews, direct access to developers, joint decisions.
