From Idea to Implementation.
The Software Development Cycle.
BlueRipplesDecember 23, 2020
We understand that turning your idea into a reality is a big responsibility. There are a lot of considerations to create the perfect software. Whether it is building something from scratch or upgrading an existing legacy system.
Lucky for you, there are processes and methodologies to ensure you the best possible software in the most efficient manner possible.
Simply put, this stage is all about finding out what to do and how best to do it. It involves research, analysis and planning to create shared goals and objectives. The project team will work with your stakeholders to create a road map for the development process.
Understand your business, the purpose of your product and the end users.
Aligning the team with a shared understanding of the Software Requirement Specifics (SRS).
2. Design
Based on the insights from the first phase, we will devise a strategy to tackle the project. This involves creating a broad overview of the system architecture to serve as a roadmap for development. Since we have a robust pre-project evaluation in place most of this information will already be covered in the proposal.
System Architecture
Possible solutions
Technology preferences
Budget review
Team structures
MetaSprint
How would it feel to actually see the Blueprint in action rather than read about it in a document?
We prefer the Agile/Scrum method of development and the process is fairly standard across platforms. However over the years we have noticed that while standard agile practices are
efficient clients benefit from a ‘teaser’ for the actual product development process. This is where the ‘MetaSprint’ comes in.
It’s an improvisation of the standard agile practice. By creating a sandbox we do a deep-dive into the requirements and technical architecture. This includes an epic list, a complexity measure and high-level technical architecture. A dedicated team of two will work on the project for two weeks or four depending upon the complexity.
3.Development
Write.
Review.
Rewrite.
Repeat.
CI/CD We follow the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery approach. In other words, we use rapid prototyping and adaptive planning to get user feedback along the development process. This ensures market demand and relevance for your end product at launch.
Collaborative The whole team participates in the weekly reviews so that the client can have an active role in the development process
Transparent We use online tools for project management, source control and bug tracking so clients can track the real-time progress.
4. Deployment
The regular testing and reviewing ensures that there are no last minute surprises along the way. However, we are with you all the way through the deployment, whether it’s the release of a
business application or the integration of an industrial technology. This allows us to closely monitor the integrity of the product and track it’s performance so that everything unfolds according to the plan.
5. Maintenance
We believe that deployment is only half the journey. We ensure that the product holds up to real world testing and will constantly monitor its performance. The reviewing and refinement of the product according to user feedback is an important part of development. That’s why we offer support beyond deployment so that you can calibrate the software to improve its
efficiency. A majority of our clients are long terms partners who have become part of our own
teams or vice versa.
In line with the traditions of ‘Agile’ we build the product according to the BluePrint in short cycles. Our product development strategy is straightforward. We aim for an evolutionary, efficient and effective process.
