NEGOTIATIONS
As an experienced software product development company, AIS will guide you throughout the partnership. Starting from the negotiation phase, we will make sure your intellectual property is safe by signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Our software development organization will scrutinize all of your requirements and business needs, your stakeholders, and your product vision to make sure we are on the same page and understand your long-term goals. After this, we will provide you with rough cost and time estimates, a proposed team composition and technology stack, and other project details on demand.
DISCOVERY
Right after we sign a contract, our software dev company starts a discovery phase, which involves a detailed business analysis of your project with artifacts prepared by the business analysis team and approved by stakeholders. These include a user story map, user flows, auxiliary diagrams, and other artifacts that aid in designing and streamlining your solution’s business logic and providing your customers with top-notch functionality. At this stage, UI/UX designers start preparing the first drafts of your solution’s design, and our solution architect work on the solution software document (SSD) that outlines all technical details.
The business analysis team also prepares the scope of work for project managers and developers as well as the product development backlog during the discovery phase. Stakeholder engagement is vital here, as a lot of details, such as deadlines, are strictly reviewed with the client. While the scope of work and product development backlog are being prepared, developers from our programming company gradually join the team, go through the onboarding process, and prepare to build your solution. Stakeholders can actively participate in interviewing and approving developers.
DEVELOPMENT
Your solution moves from a documented vision to a tangible product during the development phase. Our developers use the Agile methodology and work in sprints to write high-quality code, build all required features, and integrate with any third-party services.
TESTING
The next stage is testing, where our testing engineers complete comprehensive checks of the solution’s performance and security in line with your initial requirements. Finally, you will have a solution that is ready to serve your customers and generate revenue for your business.
Upon request, our team can continue partnering with you by providing continuous product support: implementing new functionality, enhancing solution performance and stability, and so on.
Project management is essential during all stages of the development process. Our software developers company ensures full project transparency for our clients. AIS project managers are responsible for managing development according to clients’ requirements and take part in the project lifecycle starting from the negotiation stage. Their first priority is to identify and analyze the client’s essential requirements for project development, including resource constraints, the scope of work, and goals. This information helps project managers organize the whole process, allocate resources, and adjust to the client’s limitations.
During the development stage, project managers start planning each step of development, decomposing tasks, and organizing sprints. They consider all of the client’s time constraints to properly schedule development and deliver the final product on time. Additionally, project managers create a RACI matrix so that stakeholders and team members can know their responsibilities. This document is accessible to all project participants and aids in decision-making. Project managers are also responsible for reporting on the project scope and project performance, the budget, milestone lists, and so on.
Project managers review all artifacts and adjust them to reflect new requirements and operational workflows in cases of on-demand team expansion. Their additional responsibilities include onboarding specialists, coaching the team, and monitoring relationships and the overall atmosphere/mood in the team.
As part of their responsibilities, project managers hold meetings with the team and stakeholders to make sure that processes are transparent and that stakeholders are aware of everything that’s going on in terms of solution development. One of the crucial responsibilities of a project manager is conducting risk mitigation sessions and responding quickly to unexpected challenges or crisis situations.
