Building the wrong thing is expensive

THE PROBLEM

$250Bspent on software

development in the U.S.

84%of software projects fail to be

completed on-time and on-budget

52%of software projects will cost

189% of original estimates

Let’s build the right thing together

OUR APPROACH

Kickstart Prototype Build Evolve

4

KickstartIdea development begins with a Product Kickstart

-- essentially five days of facilitated product

discussion. During the Kickstart we will coach

your team through a series of exercises to identify

product goals, validate user assumptions, and

prioritize features for development. Providing

your team an accurate estimate as to what it will

cost to develop your application.

• Determine what to build

• Develop conceptual design and

functional requirements

• Secure investment from management

or investors for development

PrototypeWith the Kickstart complete, we then begin the process of

testing your idea through live prototypes. Over a period of

two months, we will deploy a series of iterative development

sprints for rapid feature development. These features will

be tested and validated with select end users. Prototyping

allows us to challenge your technology and product

assumptions before requiring you to make a significant

investment in building your product.

• Determine market viability of a business concept, before

making a significant investment in scaling the idea.

engineering talent, coupled with world-

technology, who follow the agile methodology to

quickly develop your application.
