At Blocshop, we insist that your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) solves a real pain point and holds market potential. Collaborating with passionate founders on products with genuine promise makes the journey both exciting and rewarding. Here we explain our process to deliver an MVP in just 12 weeks. Blocshop's team of experts in software development, project management, and business strategy ensures that every aspect of your project is not just well-planned but most importantly executed as planned, providing a solid foundation for your product's success.
Week 1: Laying the foundation
Day 1: Workshop and User Stories We kick off with an in-depth workshop to thoroughly understand your business requirements. We then outline and prioritize user stories to create a clear development roadmap.
Day 2: Software Architecture and Estimation Using our proprietary diagram software, gleek.io, we design the software architecture. We also provide a detailed estimate for the MVP, breaking down the six proposed sprints. We also outline the cloud architecture.
Day 3: Proposal and Agreement We present our offer, and upon contract agreement, we commence work on your MVP. All preliminary work up to this point is part of our pre-sales process.
Week 2-12: Delivery. 6 sprints, 1 goal.
We execute the MVP in six sprints of two weeks each, ensuring a production environment delivery every two weeks. Here’s how we manage it:
Daily Scrum Meetings: Each day, developers address the three crucial questions:
What did you do yesterday?
What are you doing today?
What is blocking your progress?
Scrum Master Leadership: A Blocshop-provided Scrum Master oversees the entire MVP process. They coordinate with your product owner for any clarifications or escalations.
Fortnightly Reviews: Every two weeks, the team delivers code to production and conducts a review meeting to demo new features.
Post-delivery support
Blocshop offers ongoing support and maintenance for your MVP at an agreed daily rate, ensuring your product remains robust and effective.
Our support includes:
Continuous monitoring and maintenance: We provide ongoing monitoring to promptly address any issues that arise, ensuring your product runs smoothly and efficiently. Regular maintenance updates help keep the software up-to-date with the latest security patches and performance enhancements.
Scalability improvements: As your user base expands, we assist with scaling your application to handle increased traffic and usage. This includes optimizing performance, balancing loads, and enhancing the infrastructure to support growth.
