Project development
Foundevs offers Customers project development service in cases when Customer has an idea/request to build new software product/module/service and wants this idea to be implemented from scratch to production ready state
Service definition
As an input Foundevs receives Customer idea and vision of what needs to be implemented, and as an output Customer gets fully functioanl software product.
This path between an idea and fully ready product is fully owned by Foundevs team, and here is the list of activities that Foundevs team is completing to turn idea into real piece of softare that brings business value to the Customer:
Idea discovery phase serves to articulate vision and scope of the project. Foundevs business analyst works closely with the Customer to identify business goals and suggest how they can be achieved through the software product. Output of this phase is typically “Vision and scope” document where all parties agree on the goals that are to be achieved in that project and where high level scope is defined.
Design and Architecture phase comes next after Idea discovery phase and the goal of this phase is to create architecture for the project. Well designed architecture saves lots of efforts down the road as the project evolves. Foundevs architect and business analyst work together to make sure architecture covers all use cases outlined on Idea discovery phase. Foundevs business analyst and designer also start to work on first prototypes and mockups during this phase. DevOps and engineers often start setting up the environments, CI/CD on that stage.
Requirements and Analysis are activities typically held throught the project as the project goes. Foundevs business analyst is working with the Customer on requirements detalization and writing requirements documentation for Foundevs engineers.
Foundevs designer works on the UX and UI as detailed requirements are being discussed.
There is a small group of projects called “Waterfall” projects, which means requirements and design phase should be accomplished before the start of the project, but here in Foundevs we believe more in Agile methodology that allows adopt to changing business environment as the project goes.
Implementation and quality assurance are key activities when Foundevs software engineers work closely with business analyst - to ensure implementation meets all business requirements, and with quality assurance engineers - to ensure highest quality standards for the product.
Once the team delivered a piece of product that can bring value to the Customer, this piece can be released to production. Further development iterations will serve to deliver the rest of the product features. Foundevs team also allocates capacity to make adjustments to the product based on Customer and users feedback.
