03 — Process

How a project runs.

  1. Phase 01

    Discovery

    We get to the real problem — your goals, users and constraints — before anything is designed.

    → Scope & technical plan

  2. Phase 02

    Design

    Interfaces and architecture are prototyped and tested with real users.

    → Validated prototype

  3. Phase 03

    Build

    Short, visible iterations of clean, reviewed and tested code.

    → Production-ready software

  4. Phase 04

    Launch & support

    A calm release, then monitoring, maintenance and steady improvement.

    → A live, evolving product
