Process

Streamlined and lean based process that gets things done.

Lean & Collaborative Approach

At Devs United we believe that collaboration and flexibility without losing quality are key for the success of any project.

Below you will find the process that we apply regularly to engage with our clients once the scope of the project has been defined and we are ready to start development. This process is based on Agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban and the principles of the Lean manufacturing process.

Although this is the approach we will take for projects that we will manage, we are flexible and will adjust to your own team’s process when needed.

Day 1. Iteration Planning

Every two weeks the team will meet and plan the work to be done in the next two weeks. We will take the big laundry list of items that are required to complete the project and prioritize it, adding the items that we can deliver in two weeks.

Day 2 - 7. Iteration starts

Once the iteration has been planned and all items have been properly detailed and estimated, the team will begin working on the functional pieces of your project.

Day 7 - 8. Testing & Bug Fixing

The Dev & QA teams will collaborate to correct any issues encountered during development and make sure everything is ready to go for deployment.

Day 9. Demo Day

If the iteration has items that can be shown by the team, a demo session will be scheduled where the team will show what they've developed and feedback will be added to the Backlog.

Day 10. Deployment

When allowed, we will push the iteration to the live environment and monitor that everything is working correctly. After this step, we will go back to Step 1 where we decide which items are part of the next iteration.
