First product version
An MVP is a usable first version containing the most important features. Together we choose a focused use case and defer extras so the central idea can be tested with real users.

From an initial MVP to your own platform. Roles, integrations and business processes working together.

A usable platform within scope, defined roles and permissions and documented operational responsibilities.
A company manages orders across several spreadsheets. We plan one shared interface with suitable roles and initially test its most important workflow.

Back to topics ↑Before development, we plan how the parts of the system will work together. You receive an understandable overview of data, features and dependencies, including assumptions for later expansion.
Back to topics ↑Different users have different jobs. We describe roles such as customer, employee and administrator, then design the views and workflows each role needs.
Back to topics ↑A visible button is not sufficient access protection. We define who may read or change each type of information, enforce those rules on the server and test unauthorised access.
Back to topics ↑An API is an agreed interface through which applications exchange data. We define the required information and rules and document the connection for future extensions or other developers.
Back to topics ↑We connect the platform to suitable existing tools, such as accounting or scheduling software. We work through data mapping, failures and responsibilities rather than simply connecting two applications.
Back to topics ↑We plan hosting, backups and technical monitoring within the agreed operational scope. You know who is responsible, which recurring costs apply and how incidents should be handled.
Back to topics ↑After launch, we collect feedback and review agreed usage indicators. This creates a prioritised backlog so new features solve a specific problem rather than merely making the platform bigger.
Back to topics ↑A clear process with explicit decisions. Each step leads to a fuller explanation.
