How do we work on projects?

00:00 → 00:02

Okay. So we've got a deal.

00:02 → 00:05

We've discussed all the details, signed a contract,

00:05 → 00:06

and now it's the time to get the job done.

00:06 → 00:11

In this video, I'll show you how we are going to work on your project step by step.

00:11 → 00:14

Let's start with going over the essentials and see how we

00:14 → 00:16

compose your outsourced dream team.

00:16 → 00:17

I'm Michael.

00:17 → 00:19

We might be acquainted already as our Business Development

00:19 → 00:22

team is the first point of contact for most of our clients.

00:22 → 00:24

We provide you with the information you need to

00:24 → 00:28

identify the best development partner for your project.

00:28 → 00:30

We also got information about your project with support from

00:30 → 00:32

our business analysts.

00:32 → 00:34

When it's time to select the right people for your project,

00:34 → 00:36

our project managers come in.

00:36 → 00:39

They know best which of our specialists will fit your

00:39 → 00:40

specific requirements.

00:40 → 00:43

They are also the who know how to lead a team in order to

00:43 → 00:45

achieve your business goals.

00:45 → 00:48

So here is Sławek, one of our Project Managers,

00:48 → 00:50

who will explain the team building process for you.

00:50 → 00:53

At this stage, we're kind of matchmakers.

00:53 → 00:57

We need to consider a whole range of factors to find the perfect fit.

00:57 → 01:01

What exactly? Mainly the details of the product.

01:01 → 01:05

Is it an MVP of a cross platform app for startup

01:05 → 01:08

or maybe a SaaS platform for an established company that needs

01:08 → 01:09

total modernization?

01:09 → 01:12

It all determines the skills and

01:12 → 01:14

expertise of team members will pick.

01:14 → 01:18

Thankfully, our devs are all regulars and seniors of

01:18 → 01:21

JavaScript, Python, Node. Js, Flutter, Golang.

01:21 → 01:23

Did I mention React Native?

01:23 → 01:26

We also look for people who already have experience

01:26 → 01:28

in projects similar to yours.

01:28 → 01:31

That gives them head start and accelerates the work.

01:31 → 01:34

In most cases, we build a cross functional,

01:34 → 01:37

self managed team consisting of back end and front end

01:37 → 01:40

developers, UX and UI designers,

01:40 → 01:43

QA specialists, specialists, DevOps, and us,

01:43 → 01:43

project managers.

01:43 → 01:46

Throughout the entire development process,

01:46 → 01:48

you'll be able to communicate with each of them.

01:48 → 01:51

That's why we pay special attention to their English

01:51 → 01:54

proficiency and communication skills.

01:54 → 01:57

You can check it during one of our meetings starting

01:57 → 01:59

from the onboarding call.

01:59 → 02:00

During this call,

02:00 → 02:02

we define the principles of our daily cooperation.

02:02 → 02:05

If possible, we can also go out together, have dinner,

02:05 → 02:07

and get to know each other better.

02:07 → 02:10

Remember that from now on, this is your product team.

02:11 → 02:15

We also specify what our communication will look like

02:15 → 02:17

and what tools are we going to use.

02:17 → 02:22

For example, Slack, Jira, Confluence, Google Hangout,

02:22 → 02:23

or maybe Zoom.

02:23 → 02:26

Then we decide about the frequency of our meetings.

02:26 → 02:30

Just like the whole development process at Merixstudio,

02:30 → 02:31

they're based on agile rules.

02:31 → 02:35

Our project managers combine different agile frameworks

02:35 → 02:39

like Scrum or kanban to set the perfect workflow.

02:39 → 02:42

That's why you can expect planning, refinement,

02:42 → 02:46

retrospective, review, and daily meetings on a regular basis.

02:46 → 02:49

We both decide which ones to participate in.

02:49 → 02:53

We also use software development metrics to track

02:53 → 02:56

and measure the progress of work, code quality,

02:56 → 02:57

and the team's performance.

02:57 → 03:02

Long story short, we do our best to keep everybody on the same page.

03:04 → 03:07

Is everything set? Let's get the ball rolling then.

03:07 → 03:10

To facilitate communication between your team members and

03:10 → 03:12

speed up product development,

03:12 → 03:17

we add up our open space to let them sit together unless they work remotely.

03:17 → 03:20

Then we have our secret tricks to keep the team spirit up.

03:20 → 03:23

If your project requires designing user experience and

03:23 → 03:26

interface, product development starts in here.

03:26 → 03:27

Based on the project requirements,

03:27 → 03:31

our UX designers create mock ups of information architecture

03:31 → 03:33

and the overall structure of your app.

03:33 → 03:37

Then, the mock ups are sent to UI designers and the first views are born.

03:37 → 03:40

At this stage, your feedback is crucial.

03:40 → 03:43

We need to be sure we're moving in the right direction,

03:43 → 03:45

that of your expectations and business goals.

03:45 → 03:46

If the designs are approved,

03:46 → 03:49

the back end and front end developers can work on bringing

03:49 → 03:50

your product to life.

03:50 → 03:54

Our developers are in ongoing cooperation with QA specialists

03:54 → 03:57

to ensure your apps run smoothly and provides the best

03:57 → 03:59

experience possible.

03:59 → 04:02

This cycle repeats over and over until we turn your idea

04:02 → 04:05

into a fully fledged top notch digital product.

04:05 → 04:06

When that moment comes,

04:06 → 04:10

we start the final countdown for the big moment of After

04:10 → 04:14

weeks of close cooperation, the app is ready to go live.

04:14 → 04:17

Now we keep our fingers crossed for you to launch it with a bang.

04:17 → 04:20

Going live is usually not the end of our collaboration.

04:20 → 04:21

As your business grows over time,

04:21 → 04:23

you'll need to develop the application further.

04:23 → 04:26

Knowing Knowing your product inside out we can provide

04:26 → 04:29

maintenance as well as proper scaling services.

04:29 → 04:31

I hope that our product development process and

04:31 → 04:33

standards are now clear to you.

04:33 → 04:35

Let us compose a team for your project.

04:35 → 04:37
