Turning Your Ideas into Reality with Precision and Speed
At BrightBean, we understand that every business is unique, and so are its IT needs. That's why our approach is built around flexibility, collaboration, and fast delivery. Here's how we work:
1. Initial Design: Shaping Your Vision
Our journey begins with a deep dive into your ideas. We meet with you to thoroughly understand your vision, identifying the key components that will bring it to life. Together, we prioritize these elements and establish a clear scope of work. This collaborative approach ensures that your project starts with a solid foundation, aligned with your goals.
2. Regular Interaction: Continuous Collaboration
We believe that constant communication is key to success. That's why we schedule regular weekly meetings-either by phone or face-to-face. These sessions are more than just check-ins; they are strategic discussions where we set priorities, address any questions, and outline the next steps. By breaking the project into smaller, manageable "sprints," we make sure that your input shapes the project as it evolves, without requiring you to have everything figured out from the start.
3. Fast Delivery: Quick Wins, Early Successes
Our process is designed for speed without sacrificing quality. The regular meetings allow us to swiftly define and develop parts of your application, delivering frequent, usable features that you can start benefiting from immediately. This agile approach means you see tangible results fast, keeping the momentum going and the project on track.
Our Process: Staff Supporting Options to Meet Your Needs
Project-Based: Structured, Yet Flexible
One of the ways we engage with our clients is through a traditional project-based model. We start with our "design" phase to assess your current and future needs, providing you with an estimate. While this estimate serves as a guideline, we remain flexible and transparent, understanding that new information or change requests might arise. Through weekly reviews, we keep the project on course, ensuring frequent roll-outs that allow you to start using the application sooner and make necessary adjustments as needed.
Benefits:
- MVP First: This approach is often used to achieve a Minimally Viable Product (MVP). Once the MVP is ready, we can scale back development resources to a more cost-effective Fractional Development model.
- Frequent Adjustments: Early and frequent releases allow you to refine your application iteratively, making it more aligned with your business needs.
Fractional Support: Cost-Effective Maintenance
Often times, an in-house application system was built by a developer who is no longer available and you're facing a growing list of bugs and enhancements but can't justify the cost of a full-time developer. For companies looking to maintain custom-built software without the overhead of a full-time developer, our Fractional Support service is the ideal solution.
Benefits:
- Comprehensive Expertise: For less than the cost of a full-time mid-level engineer, you gain access to a team that includes a project manager, front-end developer, back-end developer, and DevOps specialist. This reduces the risk of single-point failures and ensures your application is well-maintained from multiple angles.
- Scalable Resources: If a big initiative arises, we can temporarily increase our hours to meet your needs, with enough notice to ramp up effectively.
Dedicated Resource or Team: Seamless Integration with Your In-House Team
When you need to augment your in-house development team for larger projects, BrightBean is ready to step in. Our engineers are experienced in working side-by-side with your team, participating in daily standups, sizing, grooming, and handling DevOps tasks. We're adept at using popular management tools like Jira, Monday, Trello, or ClickUp, and source control systems like BitBucket, DevOps/TFS, and GitHub. Whether you need front-end development support (React, Vue, JQuery/Ajax) or back-end/API development, our team is ready to contribute effectively.
Benefits:
- Custom Fit: Our teams typically consist of 2-3 developers, with the option to include a Project Manager if needed. We seamlessly integrate into your workflow, ensuring your project's success.
- Scalable Resources: If a big initiative arises, we can temporarily increase our hours to meet your needs, with enough notice to ramp up effectively.
