Software development process

A delivery cadence built for grown-up engineering.

Eight stages. Documented decisions. Predictable cadence. The same process we run on a six-week MVP and a three-year platform engagement.

STAGE 04

Development

Trunk-based, paired and reviewed. Shippable increments every two weeks behind feature flags. Tests are first-class citizens, not afterthoughts.

OUTPUTS
  • Shippable increments
  • Trunk-based PRs
  • Feature-flag rollouts
  • Internal demos

Eight stages, in detail

What happens, week by week.

01

Discovery

Two-week deep dive with stakeholders, system audit and data archaeology. We leave with a written problem statement and an honest constraint list — what you said, what we heard, and what the data shows.

OUTPUTS
Stakeholder mapConstraints registerRisk inventoryGoals & success metrics
TOOLS

02

Planning

We translate strategy into milestones. Sprint zero scope, hiring plan, and an architecture decision record (ADR) backlog ranked by reversibility cost.

OUTPUTS
12-week roadmapSprint zeroHiring planBudget envelope
TOOLS

03

Architecture Design

Whiteboard sessions become C4 diagrams, API contracts and data models. Every choice gets an ADR with at least two alternatives considered.

QA & Testing

Unit, integration, contract and load tests in the same CI pipeline. We pick a coverage target with you and treat it as a budget — not a vanity metric.

Deployment

Canary, blue/green and progressive rollout with automatic rollback. Production traffic only sees a new version when the SLOs say it can.

TOOLS

Monitoring

Golden-signal dashboards, SLOs and burn-rate alerts. Logs, metrics and traces correlated by trace ID — engineers debug in minutes, not hours.

Scaling & Maintenance

Quarterly capacity reviews, performance audits and right-sizing. We carry the pager during the engagement and hand over a team that can.

The way we work, day to day

Trunk-based, observable, automated.

Git workflow

Trunk-based, short-lived branches.

Every PR is reviewed, tested in CI, and merged within 24 hours. Long-lived branches are an antipattern.

feature/auth-rbacmain (trunk)feature/billing-meter
CI/CD pipeline

Six gates from commit to prod.

Build, test, scan, staging deploy, smoke, prod canary. Average lead time: 22 minutes.

Sprint cadence

Two-week sprints, demoed end of cycle.

Mondays plan, Fridays demo. We measure throughput, not story points.
