At ShivCrew, the first phase of a successful development project is Discovery. This phase is dedicated to comprehensive learning. We strive to gain an in-depth understanding of you, your organization’s objectives, your user base, and the essential features and functionalities required. With this valuable information, we can lay the groundwork for an optimal solution.

The Discovery phase commences with thorough information gathering. Our Project Management, User Experience, and Development teams will collaborate closely with key stakeholders on your side. Through detailed conversations, we will refine the goals of the new solution, identify key user personas, and meticulously define the desired functionality for the final product. This collaborative effort ensures that the foundation we build is robust, aligning perfectly with your vision and needs.

ShivCrew will leverage the insights gathered during the Discovery phase to craft a strategic approach and provide expert recommendations for the solution. In this phase, we will propose enhancements for the user experience and information architecture. This includes developing a detailed flow map, identifying core features and functionalities, and devising strategies for presenting content in an intuitive, engaging manner that effectively meets your objectives.

In the third phase, the creative process takes center stage, beginning with the development of a few design concepts for the key component. By setting foundational parameters for color and typography, we create a framework that allows us to unleash our creativity on background elements, imagery, spacing, and animations. This approach helps us establish the desired aesthetic and user experience for the solution.

Once the design of key component is approved and the overall visual style is finalized, we will proceed to design the remaining parts needed for the solution. This ensures a cohesive and visually appealing solution that aligns perfectly with your vision and objectives.

ShivCrew will convert the approved creative designs into high-quality, standards-compliant code using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks such as jQuery, Angular, or React, as well as platforms for iOS and Android. We will select the most suitable programming languages and technologies for your project, ensuring robust functionality and optimal performance. All code will undergo rigorous testing on the latest versions of designated testing platforms to ensure compatibility, responsiveness, and a seamless user experience across all devices and browsers.

Phase 5 is one of the most critical steps in our process at ShivCrew, where we meticulously review all aspects of the solution before going live. This comprehensive review encompasses all functionality and content to ensure that every expectation has been met. Utilizing modern testing tools, we conduct an exhaustive QA process to identify and resolve any issues.

Following QA, we provide training on the backend system, empowering clients to manage their content effectively. Clients are then given the opportunity to conduct their own QA, during which they can log any identified bugs using our user-friendly tracking platform. This system provides complete transparency, allowing you to see which bugs are being addressed, which are pending, and which are ready for your team’s review. Upon successful resolution, issues are moved to the completed bin, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition to the live environment.

With a comprehensive launch plan in place, the final phase of the project is to publicly launch the solution.

This phase involves a meticulous review of all files, ensuring that every piece of content is viewable, accurate, and fully functional as it was during the development phase. We perform a final verification to confirm that all elements meet the highest standards, guaranteeing a seamless and successful launch.
