Our Approach
On average, 33% software projects overrun their predicted schedule and almost 66% software projects overrun the predicted cost due to poor planning. Unbelievable, I know !!! For the record, we hate this stats too -_- Now the question arises, what BinaryFolks does differently to avoid such common pitfalls? Very Simple !! We only take projects when after doing our due diligence we are 100% sure that we understood the full scope and deliverable of the project and the stated goals can be met within the specified time and cost. That also means in quite a few cases we need to let go some projects. But that is OK, because it helps us to ensure that whatever projects we do, there are absolutely no negative surprises for our clients when times come for delivery. And the Result, You ask: 94% OF CLIENTS WHO TRIED US IN THE FIRST PLACE, MADE US THEIR PERMANENT DEVELOPMENT PARTNER.
1. Requirement Gathering - The “Where do you want to go” analysis
Before we start project development, we gather, analyze and articulate any outstanding gray areas about the scope of the project
- Broad Goal Discussion
- Gathering and analyzing requirements through elicitation
- Goal feasibility analysis
- A ballpark range estimation of your project
2. Analysis: The “What are the best ways to get there” exploration
We define what needs to be accomplished and how the application should function. We draw up a detailed BRD (Business requirement document) to act as a roadmap for both the developers as well as client.
- Detailed business flow discussion
- BRD drafting
- Comparative analysis of suitable frameworks
3. Milestones: “Plan the Anchorage along the route”
Before the development starts, we break up the total work into a series of milestones and list clear client verifiable features and deadlines for each milestone. This is done to make sure clients have full visibility about the progress and health of the project and there is no negative surprise during project delivery.
- Whole project broken into milestones
- Each milestone have list of features and deadlines
4. Project Management: “The Set Sail: And away we go!”
We assign a project manager that manages the team, the project’s scope, any issues that arise and can remain your reliable and knowledgeable single point of contact.
- Designate a single point of contact
- Methodical Communication
- Progress tracking to keep both parties in tune with schedule and updates
- Remote screen sharing, video updates to simulate a near office kind of environment
5. Development: “The smooth sail“
As we do due diligence in planning and architecting phase, our development phase is usually a smooth sail. But unforeseen obstacles come once in a while. But we have so vast experience in various technologies and frameworks that we can quickly correct course and move on.
- Scalability & Flexibility of the Architecture
- Clean Coding
- Customization and integration
- Alpha testing / Unit Testing
- Analyze feedback and refine code
6. Testing : The “ Ship is about to hit land”
We use different testing methodologies to test our work to eliminate situations that may compromise product quality.
- User acceptance / Beta testing
- Functional / Performance Testing
- White Box / Black box Testing
7. Deployment & Acceptance : “Ahoy : Land ho!”
This is the final stage of our development process where the final software is implemented in the production environment.
- Production Environment setup
- Code migration
- Database migration
- Testing and Release
- App Submission ( For mobile apps )
- Publish extension to Store ( For browser extensions )
8. Maintenance: Check for Leaks, Keeping the ship immaculate
We provide 90 days free support after finishing any project that includes bug fixing. We also regularly help with enhancements and optimization.
