A process built for outcomes, not deliverables.
Every inviqon project follows the same six-phase process. Not because it's rigid, but because consistency is how we ship on time and on budget while handling the inevitable surprises.
Discovery & Scoping
Every project starts with a dedicated discovery sprint. We run stakeholder interviews, audit existing systems (if any), map your domain, and define the problem we're actually solving — which is often different from the problem initially described.
- ▸Problem definition document
- ▸User personas & journey maps
- ▸Technical architecture proposal
- ▸Scope & feature prioritization
- ▸Project timeline & pricing
Architecture & Design
Before writing a line of production code, we design the system architecture and UI structure in parallel. Architecture decisions made here — data models, API contracts, component structure — shape everything that follows. Getting them right upfront is worth the time.
- ▸System architecture diagram
- ▸Database schema & API contracts
- ▸High-fidelity UI designs (Figma)
- ▸Design system / component library
- ▸Infrastructure plan
Iterative Development
We work in 2-week sprints with a live staging environment from week one. You see real progress every week, test on real hardware, and give feedback that shapes the next sprint. No 3-month blackouts. No surprises at the end.
- ▸Functional features shipped each sprint
- ▸Weekly demo & review call
- ▸Continuously updated staging environment
- ▸Automated test coverage
- ▸Sprint retrospective & adjusted priorities
Quality Assurance
QA is built into every sprint, not bolted on at the end. Automated tests, code reviews, and accessibility checks are standard. The week before launch is dedicated end-to-end testing, load testing, and security review.
- ▸Automated test suite (unit, integration, E2E)
- ▸Performance audit (Core Web Vitals)
- ▸Security review & dependency audit
- ▸Cross-browser & device testing
- ▸Bug resolution prioritized by impact
Deployment & Launch
We deploy to your infrastructure or provision and configure it for you. Database migrations, DNS changes, SSL certificates, monitoring setup — all handled. Launch day is planned like a mission, not a hope.
- ▸Production environment setup
- ▸CI/CD pipeline with automated deployments
- ▸Monitoring & alerting configuration
- ▸Error tracking (Sentry)
- ▸Runbook for common operational tasks
Handoff & Iteration
We don't disappear after launch. Full documentation and knowledge transfer are delivered with every project. Most clients stay with us for ongoing development, feature work, and iteration. We're at our best as a long-term partner, not a one-time contractor.
- ▸Full technical documentation
- ▸Codebase walkthrough session
- ▸Onboarding guide for your team
- ▸30-day post-launch support
- ▸Retainer option for ongoing work
