Overall project lifecycle

I prefer to work in short iterations, as in Agile. This is not a requirement, though my experience shows that a short feedback loop leads to better client satisfaction.

Based on your product ideas, I will maintain a concise list of clear user stories. We will continuously review and prioritize the stories together during the project, before each iteration.

From the user stories, I will create a draft solution architecture, which will grow and evolve over time. Having the initial architecture in mind, I will bootstrap the needed cloud and development infrastructure. Going from there, I will incrementally develop both the code and the infrastructure of the solution to fit the selected user stories. I will ensure the quality at all increments by implementing an adequate set of automatic tests and performing manual testing as needed.

Together, we will inspect the progress and the state of the built product at each increment. Whenever you are satisfied with the scope, functionality, and quality of the product, we will agree to finish the project successfully 🤝
