High Velocity Project Takeoff

Software experts agree that the first 20% of any project is the absolute most important. Why? Because all the initial feature and architectural decisions are made then. If you have your own development team or are on a tight budget, we can help you ‘takeoff’ at a very high speed with a solid foundation!

Figure it out

The hardest part of software development is knowing exactly what to build. We know, we know — you just happen to be different, and you have it all figured out on day one. Well, trust us when we say that’s very unlikely! We can help you think through all the most core components of requirements and help you foresee potential stumbling blocks in the project.

Spike it

Did you know that 70% of software development projects are canceled before they reach completion? Needless to say, risk is a core part of software development. We can help you identify risk early on with the ’spike’ method (akin to a volleyball spike). A spike is a deep-dive into a specific risky component of the application by one of our expert developers. The goal is to explore potential solutions, and if time permits, actually test some barebone implementations to see what works best. If you spike early, downstream development can be a breeze!

Lay the foundation

The earliest architectural decisions of an application have the highest impact later in the project. If you don’t foresee some of the core impact of later features, you may end up having to rewrite some, if not all, of your application. Think that’s unlikely? Refer to the 70% cancellation rate above. The good news is that we’ve done this before — more than once. So we have the benefit of many experiences under our belt, some more painful than others.

It doesn’t have to end there

The fun doesn’t have to stop after you complete a high-velocity take off with Crowd Interactive! You can decide if you want us to continue help build out the project, or transition your application over to an internal team or another service provider. We’re totally flexible!

A high-velocity project kickoff takes between 3 and 6 weeks, and starts at around $25k.
