The Aviron Process

How our team of software consultants meet your goals & deliver value to your business

Discovery Call

This step is all about discovering your goals, your vision and the project scope. As your project is discussed, you’ll get to know our process and team along the way and have the opportunity to ask specific questions about how Aviron can meet your development goals.

Proposal & Contracting

In this phase, we assess your needs, outline the project scope, and prepare a detailed proposal that includes project scope, deliverables, and costs. Once the proposal is discussed and mutually approved, Aviron Software becomes a valuable development resource for your team!

Strategy & Design

Aviron collaborates closely with your team members to create a comprehensive project plan, defining key milestones, resources, and deadlines. We discuss the most important development projects to handle first, as well as provide strategic insight on long-term tech planning.
During the design stage, we develop wireframes and/or prototypes to visualize the user experience and functionality of the software.

Development & Testing

In the development phase, our development engineers get to coding - programming features and UI to build out your design and overall scope. Aviron conducts rigorous testing to identify and fix bugs, while being managed and overseen by highly trained software professionals. You will not need to manage programmers or debug code, but you're free to review and discuss the technical aspects of development anytime if desired.

Client Review

Once development and testing are complete, you'll get to review your product features on a staging server allowing for any necessary adjustments that need to be taken care of pre-launch. This stage ensures that the product aligns with the client’s expectations and business goals before launch.

Launch & Post-Launch Partnership

An ongoing development partnership is ideal for exponential growth. After launching your new project or feature, Aviron can help strategize and develop the next steps to growing your business through expert development. Although no ongoing contract is required, most clients ask for continued development after the first project. We'll leave that up to you.
