Plan and prepare
We typically separate projects into sprints with a defined duration (usually two or three weeks). Each sprint has a set of deliverables that the project team commits to finishing during the sprint.
Every sprint also includes feedback and validation to detect potential issues early. The sprints help you gain more knowledge through repetition and create your solutions with more confidence.
We typically use an Agile methodology when delivering but this is not an absolute requirement. The most important thing it being able to deploy to production environment at least every other week.
Preparing for implementation
At the start of every implementation project, we set aside time to do the groundwork to prepare for the implementation. During this period, we work with you to complete these tasks:
