The Compact Product Development Life-Cycle
From product ideation to pilot product launch.
Ideation & viability
A dedicated business consultant performs data collection, research and assessment sessions, in order to evaluate and maximize a product idea's viability.
Milestones & budget
Defines project milestones and goals. Consulting on matching budget against customer expectations and project goals.
Prototype & validate
Focuses on creating small solutions, testing with real users, and gathering feedback to solidify the product roadmap.
Architecture & design
Involves planning the tech stack, architecture, and product design, to build a strong project foundation.
Refine with users
Focuses on user interaction, feedback gathering, and refining the product, based on customer ideas and needs.
Launch & monitor
Improving and adding crucial features to the basic solution, and releasing it to the masses while monitoring performance.
Iterate on data
Continuously building on customer feedback and product data, to develop and verify new product hypotheses.
Post-development stages
Launch is the beginning, not the end.
Hyper-Care Period
Immediately after launch, the application enters a protected support window.
Product Improvement Phase
Ongoing support for product development, with dedicated teams that can be cross-functional — evolving the product on real usage data.
Methodologies we utilize
Scrum for autonomy. SAFe® for orchestration.
Small self-managing teams of experts for new products — a coordinated virtual organization of teams for scaling. We move between the two on demand.
| Methodology | Scrum | Scaled Agile Framework® |
|---|---|---|
| Focuses | Software development | Software development and other departments |
| Based on | Agile principles | Agile principles, but not limited to them |
| Targets | New projects and company startups | Scaling workflows and existing projects |
| Structure | Small number of cross-functional teams | Virtual organization(s) of cross-functional teams with middle management (Agile Release Trains) |
| Meant to | Encourage autonomy and self-management across teams | Orchestrate a large group of teams in a coordinated, productive sequence |
How we apply Scrum
Structured as few or many decentralized small teams working in parallel — intended for small, self-managing, cross-functional teams of experts. An example team: business analyst, IoT specialist, Java programmer, UI designer. Early and continuous delivery of valuable software, welcoming changing requirements even late in development.
How we apply SAFe®
A middle-management layer directs Scrum teams in a coordinated, productive sequence — the Agile Release Train (ART), a virtual organization within your actual organization, consisting of all the experts required for defining, building, validating and releasing a product. A "big picture" view of how work flows on all levels.
