To Every Product & Its Own Story
Each and every product is distinct, and we believe that respecting this uniqueness is key to deliver quality work. Taking this mindset into account, we work with our customers to ensure a complete understanding of their needs, their vision, and the past and future of their particular project. Our reward is your success.
Amagumo Labs adheres to the Manifesto for Agile Software, putting a strong emphasis on collective effort, collaboration and adaptability. Only by interaction can we conduct high-value projects, and create quality products.
Our Work Process, Step-By-Step
Product development at Amagumo Labs is conducted through flexible, agile methods, as we always tailor to your needs. Here is a sample of our working process.
Project Kickoff
To successfully kickoff a project, we need to explore all the various needs, user expectations, as well as the project history itself, as it allows for deeper understanding of the product lifecycle. This phase allows our team to prime development and get ready to start production.
Conducting a discovery workshop allows for uncovering of the project's background, indentifying technical requirements, initial scope of work. We'll plan development cycles, deliverables and increments accordingly.
Product Development
This is, quite simply, where the magic happens and your project starts being brought to life. We'll work on your ideas, repeating phases over and over until completion. Agile methods allows us to plan efficiently for incremental development, delivering valuable additions with each production cycle. Key cycle elements include :
Cycle Planning
Work is planned for an interval – called a Sprint. Usually, a Sprint will last 2 weeks. In coordination with you, we plan feature development and implementation, in order for each Sprint to end in a perfect delivery.
Valuable Sprint Delivery
Sprints are planned to divide development into smaller increments so that progress can be ascertained. After each increment delivered, you will receive a testable, completed piece of the final product.
Sprint Retrospective & Feedback
As honesty and transparency are key to our work process, giving and receiving feedback is of utmost importance. We will work with you after each Sprint to improve the process and meet the end goals together.
