How we work, from start to finish.
Our custom software development team has years of experience designing and developing unique & innovative custom software using a streamlined, repeatable process.
Idea
This involves documenting key business processes and eliciting needs and concerns from stakeholders. Additionally, risks associated with introducing new software are evaluated, and mitigation measures are planned. For commercial software products, this phase also includes conducting competition analysis, understanding the target audience’s needs, defining product differentiation, and addressing obstacles to market entry, such as regulatory barriers.
Define Goals
Defining goals involves composing a comprehensive list of requirements and expectations, ensuring alignment between stakeholders and the development team. By starting with a precise definition of the project’s specific requirements and scope, clarity and focus are ensured, laying a solid foundation for the development process to follow.
UX/UI Design
UX/UI design will determine the software’s appearance at the user level, defining app architecture, and integrating existing enterprise systems for cost-effectiveness and reliability. Additionally, UX research is conducted to outline user personas and scenarios, followed by the creation of wireframes and clickable prototypes to visualize user interactions.
Development
Our development team begins working on the essential components of the software. This involves continuous delivery of new software parts, with ongoing analysis of emerging needs and release planning. Mockups are delivered and reviewed to ensure alignment with requirements before developers proceed with developing, testing, and migrating approved software parts to staging and production environments for deployment.
Testing
Orases will conduct thorough verification of functionality and performance, including performance monitoring and utilizing analytics tools for ongoing evaluation. Feedback is gathered from project sponsors and users on the results of the release, and the outcomes are reviewed to approve the scope of the next release. Continuous improvement is prioritized through iterative testing and refinement based on insights gained from monitoring tools.
Deployment
Deployment involves pushing the finalized product to the live server and conducting user testing to ensure it meets stakeholder expectations. Additionally, software monitoring processes are established to track performance and address any issues that may arise post-deployment.
Training & Support
This step includes conducting project evaluations and performing knowledge transfer sessions to your in-house IT team or other vendors involved. Comprehensive training and documentation are offered to users, empowering them to utilize the software effectively. Finally, a final report is provided, and confirmation for project closure is requested to conclude the development cycle.

Traditional methods emphasize thorough planning and predictability, while Agile focuses on adaptability and iterative learning through regular feedback loops.
What Are The Core Principles Of Agile Project Management?
Agile project management is guided by the principles outlined in the Agile Manifesto, which include prioritizing customer satisfaction through early and continuous delivery of valuable software, embracing change, delivering working software frequently, and fostering close collaboration between business stakeholders and developers.
What Are Some Common Agile Methodologies?
There are several methodologies under the Agile umbrella, including Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), and Lean. Each has its own set of practices but shares the core principles of iteration, collaboration, and adaptability.
What Is A Scrum In Agile?
Scrum is an Agile framework that organizes software development around periodic, typically monthly cycles called Sprints, during which specific work items are developed, tested, and completed. Scrum emphasizes roles such as the Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team, along with ceremonies like Daily Stand-Ups, Sprint Planning, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospectives.
