Phase 01
Discovery
We learn your business, constraints, and the shape of the problem — people, systems, and history.
- Problem statement and success criteria
- Stakeholder and system inventory
- Initial risk register
Sixphases,adaptedtotheshapeofthework
Most engagements move through the same six phases, but the weight of each phase shifts with the project. A short consulting engagement might spend most of its time in discovery and planning; a long-term build spends most of it in implementation and support.
Process
What each phase actually produces
The deliverables below are defaults. Every engagement agrees its own definition of done.
Phase path
- Discovery
- Planning
- Architecture
- Implementation
- Launch
- Support
- Phase 02
Planning
We translate the problem into an achievable plan with clear scope, milestones, and a realistic cost range.
- Scoped backlog and milestones
- Delivery plan and communication model
- Commercial proposal
- Phase 03
Architecture
We agree on the technical shape of the solution before we build, and write the reasoning down.
- Architecture decision records
- Data, interface, and integration contracts
- Technology and tooling choices
- Phase 04
Implementation
Short iterations, working software on a demo cadence, and visible progress against the plan.
- Incremental releases
- Automated tests and CI
- Documented components and APIs
- Phase 05
Launch
We plan the release carefully, with roll-forward and roll-back strategies, and we stand by during the cutover.
- Release plan and runbooks
- Monitoring and alerting
- Launch retrospective
- Phase 06
Support
After launch we keep the system healthy — maintenance, improvements, and a clear response model.
- Defined response windows
- Ongoing changes and hardening
- Quarterly reviews
