Software Development

Web and mobile applications built to a written scope, with DevOps and project and product management included.

Overview

Web and mobile applications built to a written scope, with testing part of every release rather than a step at the end. The same team runs the pipelines and infrastructure, and manages the project and the product: planning, delivery tracking, roadmaps and prioritisation.

For businesses that need an application built or extended and want it delivered, deployed and managed in one place.

Problems we address

  • An idea or requirement with no team to build it.
  • Releases that break features that used to work.
  • Deployments are manual and depend on one person.
  • Nobody owns the schedule, so dates slip without warning.
  • The backlog is long and nobody has decided what matters most.

Scope of service

  • Web applications
  • Mobile applications
  • Backend services and APIs
  • Integrations with existing systems
  • Testing before each release
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Infrastructure automation
  • Deployment support

How we deliver

Every engagement runs through the same steps, so you always know what comes next.

  1. 1

    Agree the scope

    Requirements written down and agreed before building starts.

  2. 2

    Design

    The structure of the application and its screens, reviewed with you.

  3. 3

    Build in increments

    Working software in short cycles you can see and comment on.

  4. 4

    Test

    Each increment tested before it is released.

  5. 5

    Release and hand over

    Deployment, documentation and the source code handed over.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the code?

Ownership terms are set in the agreement before work starts.

Can you take over an existing application?

Tell us about it. We start by reviewing the code and its current state before agreeing a scope.

Do you work in our cloud account?

Yes. Everything is set up in your accounts and repositories, so it stays with you.

Do we need both a project and a product manager?

Not always. Tell us about the work and we will suggest which role fits.
