From Concept to Launch:
Our Development Methodology
Your business has unique needs, and we believe your software should reflect that. At Entirety Software, we follow a transparent, step-by-step process to develop a custom business management application tailored to your operations. From the first consultation to post-launch support, we keep you informed and involved at every stage. Explore how we turn your vision into reality.
1. Discovery & Planning
We begin by understanding your business inside and out by identifying business processes and requirements.
Initial Consultation
We discuss your business goals, challenges, and desired outcomes for the application.
Business Process Analysis
We work with your team to map out your key business processes and identify areas for improvement.
Requirements Gathering
We document detailed requirements for each process, ensuring we understand exactly what the application needs to do.
Module Definition
We group related requirements into logical application modules (e.g., Sales, Inventory, Finance). This ensures a clear structure for development.
Project Roadmap & Timeline
We create a high-level project plan with estimated timelines and milestones.
2. Agile Development
We build your application in iterative 1-2 week cycles (we call them "baby steps") with demos and updates on each. This adds flexibility in today's dynamic world.
Sprints (Short Development Cycles)
We work in short, focused development cycles (typically 1 or 2 weeks), delivering working functionality at the end of each sprint.
Daily Stand-up Meetings (optional for clients)
We hold brief daily meetings to track progress and address any roadblocks.
Sprint Reviews & Demonstrations
At the end of each sprint, we demonstrate the completed functionality to you and gather feedback.
Continuous Integration & Testing
We continuously integrate and test the code to ensure quality and stability.
3. Testing & Quality Assurance
We, together with your users, will rigorously test the application to ensure it meets your requirements.
Functional Testing
We verify that each feature works as expected.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
We provide you with a test environment to thoroughly test the application from a user perspective.
Bug Fixing & Refinement
We address any bugs or issues identified during testing.
4. Deployment & Launch
We deploy your application to a live production environment.
Deployment Planning
We plan the deployment process to minimize disruption to your business.
Data Migration
We migrate your existing data to the new application.
Go-Live Support
We provide support during and after the launch to ensure a smooth transition.
5. Ongoing Support & Maintenance
We will perform continuous application and database maintenance, performance monitoring, implementing new modules and features and performing learning sessions for your users.
Technical Support
We provide technical assistance to resolve any issues.
Maintenance & Updates
We provide regular maintenance and updates to ensure security and performance.
Training
We will provide user training for your staff, if required.
Future Enhancements
