First steps 👋
1. Acquaintance
In the first step, we identify the goal and your product idea. What do you want to achieve? What problems do you want to solve? What digital products do you have now and how should they work together? Also, we ask about limitations: special dates, technologies, marketing plan, etc.
It’s important to talk in terms of idea and user needs to offer you the best technical solution. Good vision is the key of a project success.
result → clarified project idea
2. Tech Solution & Estimation
In the second step, we offer technical solutions based on your requirements. We take into account solutions like no-code tools, SAAS services, existing open-source projects, everything that helps to reduce development cost or increase software quality.
At the end of this stage we decide what technlogies are needed to make your product.
Also, we collect all requirements in a list of features and ask questions to clarify details. Based on the list, we prepare a commercial proposal with estimation, team description, milestones, development cost and deadline.
result → feature list and proposal
3. Contract Signing
We transform a feature list to express a commitment between our agency and your company.
There are several types of contracts. More details here.
