OUR PROCESS

Our team works alongside you to establish expectations for the product, define goals, and create the roadmap for your Minimum Viable Product and future product phases.

We use an agile app development approach that is designed to put you in control of your project. It reduces your risk, increases transparency between our team and yours, and gives you predictable project velocity.

Every successful project starts with a well-defined set of feature requirements. Most of our clients come to us with a vision of what they want but, when it comes to specifics, it can be a challenge. For this reason, we start by designing an interactive prototype of your proposed application to vet with key stakeholders BEFORE incurring the expense of development. This process allows your team to really think through desired functionality so that we can give you an accurate budget estimate.

As soon as the contract is signed for the established budget, a “kick-off” for the development phase is scheduled. Now it’s time to meet additional team members and define roles, process and sprint cycle. Your Envative project team will consist of your assigned PM along with members of the design, development and QA teams. We’ll discuss priorities, project dependencies and timeline based on your shiny new app prototype. Let’s get started!

This is where the task planning, coding and review cycle happens. Implementation is planned as a series of short iterations, called sprints, each typically lasting 2 weeks. Each sprint results in a potentially standalone software feature set. Follow along these repetitive sprint cycle steps that will give you full transparency of our development progress.

Development iteration planning, collaborative sprint review sessions and project status reporting allows for progress transparency and real-time feedback throughout the development lifecycle.

Each feature set developed during a sprint cycle is released for client review and user acceptance testing. This keeps everyone engaged throughout development and ensures that there are no surprises at the end of the project.

SPRINT-BASED AGILE DEVELOPMENT

Our sprint-based agile development approach reduces project risks and works to control time-to-market and budget. Benefits of our sprint-based development model include:
Knowledge Continuity, Architectural Governance, Technical Risk Mitigation, Active Code Review, Real-Time Project Status Reporting, Flexibility To Adapt To Change

Features are composed of user stories which are then broken down further into well-defined development tasks for coding by our experienced and quality-focused engineers. A demo is done at each sprint review meeting to get your feedback. This eliminates surprises and mitigates the need for rework.

Envative testing is a core component of each sprint cycle. We release code to a staging environment for client review only after our internal QA has identified and verified software issues have been resolved.

You have provided your final user acceptance of the software and now its time for us to release your site to the production environment and/or submit your mobile app to the stores. Woohoo! Warranty period begins now so don’t worry – we’ll cover resolving software “bugs” that may come up during this time. Don’t forget to budget for post-launch enhancement requests you’re sure to receive within the first few months of launch. This is a good thing – it means your users are engaged!

This is your insurance policy, meaning, we are with you for the “long-haul”. The stability and well-being of your application demands the attention of monthly support to ensure that user experience and operations run smoothly no matter what. Don't let factors beyond your control (such as software upgrades, 3rd party integration changes, browser updates, etc.) disrupt your business.
