Process

A straightforward approach to building software. Clear phases, regular communication, and no surprises.

Phase 1

Discovery Workshop

Typical duration: 1-2 weeks

We start by understanding your business, users, and goals. Through structured conversations, we define the problem worth solving and the outcomes that matter.

Activities

  • Stakeholder interviews
  • User journey mapping
  • Problem definition
  • Success criteria
  • Scope and constraints

Outcome

Shared understanding of goals and a clear project brief

Phase 2

Technical Plan

Typical duration: 1 week

With clarity on what we're building, I create a technical architecture and phased roadmap. You'll know exactly what's being built, in what order, and why.

Activities

  • System architecture design
  • Technology selection
  • Database modeling
  • Integration planning
  • Risk assessment

Outcome

Technical specification and development roadmap

Phase 3

Iterative Delivery

Typical duration: Varies by scope

Development happens in focused 2-week sprints. You see working software regularly, can adjust priorities, and always know where we stand.

Activities

  • 2-week development sprints
  • Weekly progress updates
  • Demo sessions
  • Continuous integration
  • Regular testing

Outcome

Working software delivered incrementally

Phase 4

Launch & Support

Typical duration: Ongoing

We deploy to production with proper monitoring and documentation. I stay available for bug fixes, iterations, and ongoing support as needed.

Activities

  • Production deployment
  • Monitoring setup
  • Documentation handoff
  • Team training
  • Support availability

Outcome

Production-ready system with ongoing support options

Ways of Working

How we stay aligned throughout the engagement.

Weekly Check-ins

Regular sync calls to review progress, discuss blockers, and align on priorities.

Async Updates

Written updates in Slack, email, or your preferred tool. Stay informed without scheduling overhead.

Transparent Backlog

Full visibility into what's planned, in progress, and completed. No surprises.

Documentation-First

Technical decisions, architecture, and processes documented as we go—not after the fact.
