Development
Turning the
scope into reality.
The Development stage is where the approved project requirements are translated into functional interfaces, backend systems, integrations and project-specific features.
02 architecture prepared
03 frontend development [active]
04 backend integration
05 functionality testing
What happens during development?
Once requirements and scope have been established, development begins according to the applicable project plan. The exact work depends on the type, technology and functionality of the project.
A project can have multiple technical layers.
Frontend
User-facing pages, interfaces, responsive layouts, navigation and interactive components.
Backend
Server-side functionality, business logic, databases, authentication and application processing.
Integrations
APIs and supported third-party services required for the project's functionality.
The development sequence.
Development can be organized into several activities. The exact sequence may vary depending on the project's technical requirements.
Setup
Prepare the development environment, project structure and required technical components.
Build
Implement the approved interface, features and project-specific functionality.
Integrate
Connect backend systems, APIs, databases and other required services.
Review
Review the developed functionality before the project moves to formal testing and client review.
Technology depends on the project.
Different projects can require different technologies. The appropriate stack depends on functionality, existing infrastructure, integrations and project requirements.
Technologies used across projects
Project-specific approach
Technology selection is considered in relation to the requirements instead of assuming that one stack fits every type of project.
What development focuses on.
Core development considerations
Development is iterative.
Some implementation details may become clearer as the project progresses. Relevant questions or technical dependencies can be reviewed during development.
Development works better with timely feedback.
Depending on the project arrangement, client feedback, approvals, content, credentials and other required inputs may be necessary during development.
Development follows the agreed scope.
Development is based on the requirements and scope established for the project. New major features, integrations or workflows introduced later may require separate review.
Frequently asked questions.
When does development begin?
Development generally follows the consultation and requirements/scope stages once the applicable project arrangements are confirmed.
What is included in development?
Development can include frontend, backend, database, integrations and project-specific functionality according to the agreed scope.
Can the client provide feedback during development?
Yes. Depending on the project process, feedback and approvals can be part of the development and review cycle.
Can new features be added during development?
Additional features can be discussed, but substantial changes may require separate scope and effort assessment.
Does development mean the project is ready for launch?
Not necessarily. After development, the project may move through testing and review before final delivery or launch.
The build starts with a clear scope.
Once the requirements are understood and the applicable scope is established, development can move from planning into implementation.
