Our Key Methodology

Discovery call

It all starts with a introductory video call. We get to know one another and listen to dream you are working on. We discover how we can best help you.

Designing milestone (Optional)

Prototype milestone (Optional)

Exploration questionnaire

After our discovery call we send you a questionnaire that will help us prepare for our next call. We ask some simple questions that will answer important questions.

Quote approved

First milestone (analysis) is invoiced.

kickoff workshop

We help forge a well-defined vision to ensure we shape products that adapt to your growth every step of the way.

Exploration call

During our next call we do a deep dive into your product vision. We use the questionnaire as a guide during this process. Afterwards we have enough information to make a shape proposal.

Requirements workshop

The key part of this workshop is to identify, challenge and simplify your idea as well as creating a carefully crafted list of functional specifications.

UX/UI workshop

Together we define what the user experience for each of the different personas should look like using plain old pen and paper.

Design workshop

The goal of this workshop is to define the look & feel you had in mind for the product and use them as a starting point for the product design system.

Prototype workshop

Creating a prototype is as close to the real thing as you can get without writing any code. During the workshop we define which processes and interactions need additional validation and start prototyping from there.

Technical workshop

The goal of this workshop is to get an overview of all required architectural components and identify potential technical hurdles.

Mockups draft

Using the pen-and-paper drafts we craft a first digital mockup experience which will be validated with your future users.

Design draft

We define the product design system and use it to shape the most crucial parts of the product so we can validate whether the designs match your vision.

Prototype draft

Using the prototype we start validating the flows and interactions with actual users and iterate until we get it just right.

Start of sprints

After the kickoff the team is ready to start sprinting using the lean development methodology to quickly delivery high quality results.

Proof of concept delivery

The final result is a working proof of concept that serves as proof that the product vision is technically feasible.

Minimum viable product delivery

The deliverable is a working version of the product with crucial but absolute minimum functionality in order to validate the business case with initial users.

Version 1 delivery

Get ready to open up that bottle of champagne and release the first version of your product into the wild.

System monitoring and bug tracking

All components of the product are monitored 24/7 for both security issues, performance problems and potentials bugs.

Dedicated support engineer

A dedicated engineer of the Products and Platforms team to ensure technical questions or issues are answered and resolved as quickly as possible.

Product optimization

We continuously tweaked and improve your product by using input from your users and data from the automated monitoring.

Analysis delivery

The end result of the analysis milestone is a complete product plan. It's the polestar that will make sure the final product will deliver the intended value and surpass the goals that were defined.

Functional Requirements Specification

Software Architecture Specification

Software Design Specification

Test Plan Specification

Mockups delivery

After processing the feedback of the initial user testing we deliver the final mockups as foundation for the next milestone: designs.

Design delivery

Depending on the complexity and requirements of the project only the essentials or a full design of all components and screens of the application will be created.

Prototype delivery

The final result of the prototyping phase will serve as the blueprint for the actual solution and can be extended to validate new functionalities in the future.
