IT MAY BE BORING BUT DONE RIGHT IT’S ESSENTIAL TO SCALE, CONSISTENCY AND YOUR BUSINESS REPUTATION:
If you took a car to bits – you will likely end up with about 5,500 pieces. In putting the car back together you would need to check and test each item for it’s own set of metrics (such as the nut is not flawed), then you would need to gather the components into units to test to check that the interoperability and function works as planned – i.e. steering, several parts but one function. Before you even begin this mammoth task it makes sense to have written plans and test cases in order to complete the project efficiently and know that what was being sent out of the garage was robust and compliant. Software is very similar and we can help you.

There will be essential things needed in the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and nice to have’s which can be considered. We conduct a thorough meeting where we deep mine the needs and with professional curiosity, we can expand the depth ad breadth of that fact find. We then create a detailed scope which is the backbone for typically a half day workshop – the outcome of this is you have a line by line extraction of everything that is needed to be done along with work flows (dry runs to ensure the process and function is correct). This allows us to fix on a price and create an agreeable commercial plan to fund the project (this can be one of 3 types usually, standard – deposit and staged payment, cash flow friendly which is deposit and a period agreed interest free, typically 12 months or invested where we absorb take responsibility of up to 50% of the project cost if there is deemed enough commercial viability and a good opportunity for both parties.
