OUR METHOD
Our Methodology For App Modernization And Custom Development
The process starts with an assessment that helps build the roadmap and set priorities for different initiatives. Then it follows with the high-level and low-level design followed by development sprints. The approach might vary slightly depending upon the nature of the custom development and can be tailored to customers’ needs.
Step 1: Assessment And Roadmap
This phase starts with a quick assessment that explores several solutions with their pros and cons. It also briefly touches on the architectural considerations, costs, and timelines to develop the project.
Step 2: High-Level Design
This high-level design phase analyzes the requirements at a much deeper level and comes up with the epics and user stories. The phase also builds quality and release plans.
Step 3: Low-Level Design
This low-level design phase takes the developer's perspective on the requirements and analyzes APIs, interfaces, and automated test plans required during the development. The phase also performs POCs to remove any technical or financial risks during the development phase.
Step 4: Implementation
These are bi-weekly sprints. The goal of these sprints is to deliver user stories per the release plan. At the conclusion of the sprint, user stories get accepted by business users. The priorities may change during the development, and new stories might be added, or existing stories might be moved to the backlog.
Step 5: Support And Optimization
This step focuses on fixing any defects after the development phase. As well as any optimizations that might be required if there are any discrepancies with the outcome. The goal of this step is to continuously monitor and improve.
