Application Development
Software built around the way work already happens, rather than forcing the work to bend around the software.
A great deal of office work still runs on spreadsheets copied from month to month. While the data is small that is adequate; as soon as several people edit at once, nobody knows which copy is correct.
We build from the flow that already exists. The first thing recorded is not a feature list but who fills in what, when, and what decision is made from those numbers. The application follows — as small as possible, so it is quick to adopt and cheap to change when the flow changes.
What we do
- Workflow mapping together with the people who run it daily.
- Incremental delivery, starting with the part used most often.
- Migration of existing data from the spreadsheets currently in use.
- Usage training and source code handover.
