Our Approach
Human-Centered Design
Every application development engagement is rooted in human-centered design (HCD) principles. HCD incorporates the human perspective to solve problems and create solutions. Customers value our HCD expertise in building their updated, user-friendly applications.
1. Research
We gather research to become immersed in the end user’s needs. This helps understand business requirements needed to improve productivity and engagement. Study legacy products - what worked and what didn’t. Carefully document findings to identify MVP and gain a clear path to a successful product.
2. Define
Brainstorm with identified subject matter experts to create customer journeys and workflows. Build complex user stories as a roadmap for developers to review and give input.
3. Design
Design and test potential solutions with complex prototyping tools. Create low-definition wireframes and high-definition mockups that embrace branding and standards for the product. Integrate 508 accessibility in the entire process to inform development team. Integrate language and culture from end users to increase ownership.
4. Prototype
Test and validate prototypes with the Subject Matter experts and development team. Incrementally modify the application prototype to refine and prove before any coding begins to reduce technical debt and production time.
5. Iteration & Integration
After development begins, perform end user testing of complex features at the end of each sprint to test usability and prove workflows. Deliver needed changes to development team, and re-test if needed. Repeat until end-user needs are met.
AGILE SCRUM
METHODOLOGY
Agile Application Development
Applications are developed via Agile Scrum methodology—a rapid and iterative development process. Each development engagement has stakeholders, product owners, scrum masters, and implementation teams. The team works together in short two to four-week “sprints” where they prioritize and develop features of the application.
Stakeholders
Subject matter experts and end-users are crucial stakeholders in agile application development process.
Product Owners
The product owner represents stakeholders and is responsible for making sure the application delivers value.
Scrum Master
Facilitates the scrum software development process through daily stand-ups and ensures Agile compliance
Implementation Teams
A cross-functional, self-organizing group of people experienced with Agile methodologies to build the final application.
Cloud Native
Development
Cloud-native, modern, and user-friendly applications
Cloud-native applications offer numerous benefits to U.S. Federal and Department of Defense (DOD) agencies, including:
- Scalable
- Repeatable
- Easy to Manage
- Reduce Risk
- Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery
- DevSecOps Culture
