How Do We Work?

We don’t patch things together and hope for the best. We work in structured phases, with managed scope and real release cycles — so you stay in control as the project evolves.

Collaboration is everything. You don’t get handed off to a project manager or lost in a black box. You work directly with the developer building your system — in short cycles, with regular checkpoints, and space to make decisions as you go.

We’re agile in the way it was meant to be: flexible, focused, and responsive to change. Need to shift a launch date? No problem — most of the time, the project's timeline still holds. Need to fix a production bug while a new version’s underway? We’re structured enough to do both.

We offer daily 15-minute check-ins at no extra charge, no micromanaging. Just enough time to stay aligned, adjust priorities, and keep momentum. Only want a couple of meetings a week? That’s fine too. We scale the process to fit your bandwidth, not ours.

Don’t have every detail figured out yet? That’s normal. If we know the direction, we’ll help you sharpen the vision along the way. That’s what real collaboration looks like — and it’s what makes projects succeed.

How Do We Avoid Heartache?

We don’t use project management to shield the dev or design team from you. Software engineers around the world know the truth: real agility requires direct communication.

We don’t say “it’s fine” when it’s not. Our weekly budget reviews — folded into your check-ins — keep you clear on what’s been done, what’s left, and what it’s costing. No guesswork. No sugarcoating.

We don’t gloss over tricky calls. If there’s a bug in search, we don’t treat it like a design tweak. We fix root problems at the root.

We don’t let salespeople or PMs warp your project. Scope is a tool, not a mystery. We write real tickets with real detail. No vague epics. No “features” with a title and no body.

We don’t let anyone but engineers estimate engineering time — because you need the best numbers to make your best decisions.

Choosing a Dev Shop? Here’s What to Watch For.

We’re glad you’re considering working with us. But whether you hire us or someone else, here’s what to ask any agency that claims they can bring your vision to life:

• Will you have access to the person actually doing the work?
  If you’re paying for developers, you (or someone you trust) should be talking to one — regularly. If your developer isn’t writing code with a clear grasp of your goals, you're not going to love the outcome. No amount of project management will fix that disconnect.

• How do they handle bugs?
  If bugs aren’t being logged, prioritized, and tracked, they’re just being tossed at developers to “figure out” — usually with no plan. That leads to confusion, delays, and wasted money. Professional teams triage and organize new work. If your project feels like a never-ending fire drill, it’s not being managed — it’s being survived.

• Can you see their tickets?
  Good teams write testable, accountable tasks. You shouldn’t be relying on a checklist or the "genius instincts" of a "rockstar" programmer. You should be able to see the plan, read the work in progress, and know what’s been done. Transparency is the minimum — not the luxury.

• Who estimates the work?
  Developers should estimate development. Sales teams and PMs often mean well — but optimism kills timelines. A “simple table” might sound cheap, but if it’s actually a portable admin interface, that changes the scope entirely. You deserve estimates grounded in technical reality, not salesmanship.

• Do they deliver regularly?
  You should see tangible progress at regular intervals — without being nickel-and-dimed for updates. If there’s no visible rhythm of delivery (say, every 2–6 weeks), be wary. No rhythm = no reliability. And when launch day comes, it won’t be “launch day.” It’ll be two more weeks. Then two more. Then two more…

• What tech are they using to get the job done?
  They should be working in a professional development environment — using an IDE, stepping through code with debuggers, and testing on real-world devices, not just their laptop. If none of that comes up when you ask, that’s a red flag.
  You wouldn’t hire a driver who can’t operate a vehicle — and you probably shouldn’t hire a developer who can't/won’t utilize standard development tools. (And yes, they’re out there!)

• How do they test their work?
  Answers will vary — and that’s okay. The important thing is that they have an answer. Are they testing at all? How structured is it?

• Who is in charge of the technical direction of the work?
  If the answer isn’t “the developer(s) doing the work,” that’s a problem.
  Sure, a manager might step in if things go sideways — but unless that manager is also part of the development team, their name shouldn’t be leading the conversation.
  The developer doing the work should be the one owning it, collaborating with your team, and working with the rest of the dev crew to get things right. You don’t want a captain who can’t be bothered to be aboard the ship they’re supposed to be steering.

• Tell me about the developers making the product.
  No wrong answers here, per se, but consider the answer and how it fits your needs. Many shops will usually have one developer working on a given case until it gets big enough. One developer is okay, but they can only accomplish one thing at a time. And if that developer has many clients? Your needs could be buried pretty quickly — especially if there's new money coming down the pipeline. Make sure that the description of the team matches your internal sanity-check meter.
