Our method
Software project scoping and specification in 3 meetings
You come with an idea. You leave with a project.
Three meetings are enough to go from an idea to a project that is scoped, estimated and committed at a fixed price. But scoping doesn't stop there. It is adjusted at every meeting throughout the project, we build it with you in batches and your software evolves with your needs, even after go-live.
Our method
Your project in 3 meetings.
- 1
We listen.
1 h
You leave with your needs understood
- 2
We present the specifications and the mockups.
2 h
You leave with detailed specifications and the mockups
- 3
We quote and agree.
30 min
You leave with a fixed-price quote
The 3 meetings cost you nothing.
- Free scoping
- A fixed price
- An engineer as project manager
The steps
Three meetings and work in between each one.
No need to write a 50-page specification. You bring your idea and your knowledge of your business. We do the rest with you.
Meeting 1
1 h
With you
We listen.
We start from your idea, your business and your constraints. We ask the right questions and tell you straight away what is possible, what is harder and the first choices to consider. You have nothing to prepare.
You leave with your needs understood and shared
In between
1 to 2 days
On our side
We break your idea down.
We turn what we discussed into a table of features. Each line describes a concrete part of the solution, sorted by use and by priority. We also draw mockups of the main screens.
Meeting 2
2 h
With you
We present the specifications and the mockups.
We go through each line and each screen with you. We question, correct, complete and remove what doesn't belong until everything matches your vision.
You leave with detailed specifications and the mockups
In between
Half a day
On our side
We estimate and plan.
We estimate design, development, testing and go-live. We build the schedule and the milestones and we separate what is a priority from what can wait.
Meeting 3
30 min
With you
We agree.
We present the budget, the schedule and the fixed-price commitment. The scope is clear, the price is set and you decide with peace of mind.
You leave with a fixed-price quote
Scoping costs you nothing.
Neither the three meetings nor the specifications and mockups we prepare for you. Trust starts before the quote.
The specifications and mockups
What you have in hand after scoping.
Clear specifications you can read without being technical and mockups to see your software before it exists. They are the reference for the whole project and rest on proper modelling of your business.
The feature breakdown
Each line describes a concrete part of the solution, sorted by priority. You see what will be built first and what can wait for a later version.
The mockups
The main screens of your software drawn before the first line of code. You see what it looks like and how it is used.
The sensitive points
Data, integrations, security or deadlines. Risks are spotted before we start and not along the way.
The schedule and milestones
The main stages of the project and what is delivered at each of them.
The fixed price
A budget set on the scope agreed together.
The assumptions
What we expect from each side so the schedule and budget hold. Access to data, approvals and response times.
During the project
Then we build at a fixed price.
You always know where your project stands, what has been delivered and what comes next.
A committed price
The price is set on the scope agreed together. If your needs change we quote the change before starting it and you decide with full knowledge.
An engineer as project manager
Your project manager is the engineer who presented the solution to you. They build it with the team, with no handover and no salesperson between you and the developers.
Delivery in batches
A new batch every 2 to 3 weeks on average with a demo each time. You test, you approve and we adjust priorities as we go.
After go-live
We don't leave you alone with your software.
The team that built it is the team that keeps it alive.
Hosting
We host your solution and make sure it keeps running. You don't have to manage any server.
Maintenance
Fixes, security updates and technical follow-up so your software stays reliable over time.
Evolutions
Your needs change and your software follows. Every evolution is quoted before it starts.
Your questions about our method
Have an idea, a need or software to take over?
In three meetings, we can turn an unclear need into a structured, priced project ready to build.
