During discovery, we meet the people who will use the software, map current processes and identify pain points, constraints and success criteria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you get:<\/strong> a shared vision of the project, a list of objectives and a first view of risks and priorities.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Requirements and scope<\/h2>\n<p>Needs are translated into user stories (&#8220;As a sales manager, I want to approve quotes so that\u2026&#8221;) and grouped into a <strong>product backlog<\/strong>, an ordered list of features. Integrations with existing tools are identified early, because they often carry the most risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you get:<\/strong> a prioritized backlog and a first estimate. If budget is your main question, read our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotechconseil.com\/en\/blog\/custom-software-development-cost\/\" style=\"color:#4c80fa;font-weight:600;\">how much custom software development costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: UX design and prototype<\/h2>\n<p>Before any code is written, wireframes and clickable mockups let users test the main journeys. Changing a prototype takes hours; changing finished software takes weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you get:<\/strong> validated screens and user journeys, and fewer surprises during development.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: Architecture and technical choices<\/h2>\n<p>The technical team selects the stack, designs the data model and plans integrations, security and hosting. These choices determine how easily the software will scale and how much it will cost to maintain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you get:<\/strong> a documented architecture and a validated physical data model.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Development in Agile sprints<\/h2>\n<p>Development is organized in short iterations called sprints. Each sprint delivers working, tested features that you can review. Priorities can be adjusted between sprints as you learn more about your users. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotechconseil.com\/en\/development-methodology-agile-scrum\/\" style=\"color:#4c80fa;font-weight:600;\">Agile Scrum development methodology<\/a> details the 10 stages of each sprint, from requirements analysis to planning the next one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you get:<\/strong> regular demos, sprint validation reports and full visibility on progress.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: Testing and quality assurance<\/h2>\n<p>Quality is built in, not added at the end. Developers write unit tests, testers run manual and automated tests, and every change goes through code review and a continuous integration pipeline. Acceptance testing confirms that the software meets your requirements. Learn more about the differences between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotechconseil.com\/en\/blog\/qa-qc-testing\/\" style=\"color:#4c80fa;font-weight:600;\">testing, quality assurance and quality control<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you get:<\/strong> test reports, bug reports and a validated release candidate.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Step 7: Deployment and go-live<\/h2>\n<p>The software moves through separate environments (development, testing, pre-production and production) so that each version is validated before it reaches users. Automated deployment makes releases repeatable and reduces the risk of human error.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you get:<\/strong> a production release, user training and handover documentation.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Step 8: Support, maintenance and evolution<\/h2>\n<p>Launch is the beginning of the product&#8217;s life. Corrective, adaptive and evolutive maintenance keep the software secure, compatible and aligned with your business. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotechconseil.com\/en\/software-maintenance\/\" style=\"color:#4c80fa;font-weight:600;\">software maintenance services<\/a> cover monitoring, updates and new features after go-live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you get:<\/strong> a stable product that keeps improving, with a clear support agreement.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How long does the process take?<\/h2>\n<p>Duration depends on scope. A focused <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotechconseil.com\/en\/blog\/mvp\/\" style=\"color:#4c80fa;font-weight:600;\">MVP<\/a> can go live in a few months, while an enterprise platform with many integrations takes longer. The Agile approach means you do not wait for the end: usable features are delivered and reviewed from the first sprints.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How this process relates to the SDLC<\/h2>\n<p>These eight steps are a practical application of the software development life cycle (SDLC), adapted to iterative, client-facing delivery.

A product owner on the client side who can make decisions quickly speeds up the whole project.<\/p>\n<h3>Can requirements change during the project?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. With Agile delivery, the backlog is reprioritized between sprints, so new needs can be added without restarting the project.
