Software Design
Software Design
One of the greatest challenges to any project is maintaining clear lines of communication between all stakeholders.
BTW Labs provides frequent touch-points between our clients and developers - ensuring crystal-clear communication throughout the entire development process.
This iterative process allows for ongoing refinements throughout the process – which helps keep projects on time and on budget.
Discovery
Discovery
All projects begin with a discovery phase to ensure that we fully understand the problems, the proposed solutions, and the expected benefits. Once we have a solid grasp of the problem, our technical analysis will guide implementation.
Key deliverables from this phase include:
- Research
- User Stories
- Technical Architecture
- Milestones & Schedule
By The Way Labs was a fantastic product development partner. Their deliberate process was critical in determining the scope of our project and establishing consensus between the numerous stakeholders.
By The Way Labs provided excellent communication through every step of the engagement, ultimately delivering a product that fulfilled all business goals on time and on budget.
As a byproduct of working with By The Way Labs, we were able to improve our approach to product development best practices within our company, which we recognized would position us for quicker discovery and product development in the future.
Usability + Design
Usability & Design
We clarify the business requirements defined in the user stories and use them to develop a robust prototype of the user interface. This detailed representation of the product ensures that all stakeholders clearly understand how the application will function at the user level.
A fully fleshed-out prototype is critical in bringing the project architecture to life and uncovering usability concerns that could adversely affect development. This is another tool in building consensus, and allows course corrections at a less expensive phase of development.
The BTW Labs team has more than premier design chops, but a keen sense for navigating real business needs and challenges. I consider the BTW Labs team an extension of our company's creativity, and a conduit for our marketing energy and voice.
Applied Health Gamification
Usability Case Study
Before committing to any code, By The Way Labs builds a robust interactive UI prototype of the proposed platform. This fully fleshed-out prototype is critical in bringing the project architecture to life and in building consensus across all stakeholders.
Development
Development
Following the plan laid out in the Discovery and Design phases, we will implement a technical solution which best meets the project requirements.
By The Way Labs went above and beyond to help me stabilize and expand the build of a complex project. Ted worked seamlessly with our Agile workflow and provided critical recommendations for standardization and improvement. Urgent issues and questions were addressed quickly in a through fashion so I never felt lost. I highly recommend this talented team for your next project.
Nexus Disease Management
Development Case Study
NEXUS is a disease management platform that enables next-generation high-touch respiratory management at home. The data-driven web application is written in javascript using the AngularJS platform. The data is provided by, and stored in, a custom Drupal back-end application with a RESTFul api.
Support
Support
All development projects require periodic updates - whether it be minor bug fixes, to robust updates to accommodate new technologies or client requests.
From security patches to ongoing feature development, By The Way Labs can craft a long-term support retainer customized to your needs.
By The Way Labs dove deep to learn about our business and our market, and delivered on both projects, exceeding our expectations. BTWL is more than a developer - it is a strategic partner.
