Process

1. Discuss

We'll talk about...

How we'll keep in touch

• E.g. E-mails
• E.g. Instant messages via Slack
• E.g. Video calls via Slack

What context the solution exists in

• Business needs and objectives
• Target audience
• How the audience would use the software
• When the audience would use the software

What the requirements of the solution are

Whether we're a good fit for the project

What challenges we might face

What our turnaround time will be

What third-party services will be needed

• E.g. Domain registrar
• E.g. Web hosting provider

How we'll deploy the final solution to the client's infrastructure

• I.e. Access permissions needed

2. Research

We'll investigate what the best approach to take is

3. Plan

We'll come up with proposals for how best to proceed

4. Design

We'll provide...

A wireframe for different views (e.g. desktop and mobile) if appropriate

We'll take design principles into account

4. Develop

• We'll write code to satisfy the requirements
• We'll take measures to ensure the solution works as intended when users interact with it in intended as well as unintended ways

5. Document

We'll provide a written document, explaining

• Technical implementation details with an emphasis more-so on the reasons for decisions made
• What data is collected from users and for what. This can form the basis of a privacy policy

6. Showcase

We'll perform a demo, showing how to use the solution provided

7. Signing off on current work

You’ll have a couple of opportunities to make revisions within the initial budget provided for the project

1. After the first design is completed
2. After the first implementation of the software solution is completed

Throughout the project, will also be asking questions to relevant stakeholders about desired direction to ensure alignment with what's being developed with what's wanted when this is appropriate
