CloudFronts, we follow a Hybrid methodology, combining iterative and linear methods to suit project needs:
Hybrid Model:
A combination of waterfall and agile practices, defining and designing the solution before starting sprints, and using sprints for refining, building, testing, and reviewing the solution.
Kick-off:
The kick-off meeting aligns both parties, establishes key stakeholders, and sets up an escalation matrix. Teams are briefed on milestones and project delivery policies.
Requirement Gathering:
Conducting small demo sessions during requirement gathering helps users understand system expectations from the start, setting the right expectations and ensuring engagement.
Development:
Development is done iteratively, with early modules shared for client testing. This approach allows for constant validation and feedback, increasing project success chances.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT):
UAT is conducted with a copy of the client’s production data, helping users test the system with familiar values and ensuring a smooth transition.
Go-Live and Post Go-Live Support:
After UAT signoffs, changes are moved to production servers, and the system goes live. A week of post go-live support includes regular calls to monitor system usage and ensure optimal utilization.
