01
Understand
Study the customer, workflow, data, existing software, constraints, objectives, risks and dependencies.
Approach
Understand the system before deciding what to build.
Rogramatic makes the workflow, risks and product decisions visible so development starts from a defensible plan rather than a collection of assumptions.
02
Decide
Choose the important problem, smallest useful scope, first test, delivery sequence and success criteria.
03
Build
Design and deliver the interface, architecture, data model, integrations, tests, deployment and documentation.
04
Improve
Use feedback, logs, performance data, business results and operational observations to choose what changes next.
Working relationship
Visible checkpoints from first review to handover
The exact shape changes with the engagement, but responsibility and decisions should remain clear.
01
Discovery
Understand the situation, stakeholders, workflow, data and desired outcome.
02
Diagnostic or planning
Review the current system or define the smallest useful scope.
03
Proposal and scope
Confirm deliverables, timeline, responsibilities, assumptions, cost and review points.
04
Delivery
Build in visible stages with agreed checkpoints and working demonstrations.
05
Review and support
Confirm the system works as expected and agree on continued responsibility.
Working principles
Clarity is part of the engineering work.
- Understand before prescribing
- Build the smallest useful system
- Make important behaviour visible
- Protect data and business rules
- Design for the people doing the work
- Leave the system maintainable
Start with context
Tell us where the workflow or product is currently stuck.
The first conversation should establish the real situation and the most useful next decision.
