Product Development Process
by ASD Team
Considering all the working types we supported previously, the pros and cons they brought to our customers, end-users, and our company, we managed to develop the powerful and effective cooperation software development process that help our clients achieve their goals and deliver solutions that truly matter.
Complete Efficient Delivery
Process at ASD TEAM:
We take full responsibility for the product development process, minimizing risk for the client and consistently delivering high-quality market-ready software products on time and within budget based on clients’ needs and requirements. We follow the Agile , Scrum, Waterfall, and other methodologies to choose the fittest methodology for your project.
Eight simple stages allow us to deliver functional products and ensure efficient interaction with a client:
Initiation phase
Execution phase
Evaluation and closure phase
Preparation
During the Preparation step, we conduct a call with a client to gather the main information about the project and its goals.
We also sign an NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) before or after the beginning of the cooperation (depending on the client’s expectations) and start conducting pre-estimation of the project. When everything is estimated and agreed upon, we can sign a contract.
Сall with a client → Signing NDA → Pre-Estimation → Review and Q&A → Signing a contract
Deliverables:
Approved Methodology,
Contract with knowledge holders,
Finalized reporting templates,
Meeting and reporting schedule
Roles:
Business Analyst,
Project Manager,
QA Engineer
Discovery
The Discovery step includes such processes as analyzing functional and non-functional requirements, Q&A sessions, defining project goals and scope of work, and developing the Project Roadmap.
Deliverables:
WBS (work breakdown structure) with the estimate,
Prototypes,
Project
Roles:
Business Analyst,
Project Manager,
QA Engineer
Planning
When it is time for the Planning step, we initiate a call with a client to set up the development environment, which includes setting up the accounts, credentials, and additional tools. Also, we define all the possible risks and their level of impact on the development process and create a detailed roadmap.
Intro call with a client → setup of the development environment (accounts, credentials, additional tools)
Deliverables:
Prioritized high-level backlog,
Adjusted roadmap based on both parties' expectations,
Project architecture design,
Technology stack,
Finalized estimates
Roles:
Business Analyst,
Project Manager,
Developers,
QA Engineer,
DevOps (depends on the project)
Development
This is the step when the actual coding starts. The development stage also covers the ongoing management of the development process and constant communication with the client based on the pre-agreed meeting schedule.
Deliverables:
Documentation,
Developed functionality/product
Roles:
Project Manager,
Developers,
QA,
DevOps (depends on the project)
Quality Assurance
We conduct thorough testing to reveal all the bugs and possible problems as early as possible to solve them with the lowest resources and price.
Deliverables:
Bug-free functionality
Roles:
Project Manager,
Developers,
QA,
DevOps (depends on the project)
Feedback
To understand more about the project’s outcomes, we gather feedback both from the client and the development team, so we will be able to improve the whole development process in the next Sprint. After feedback, the product may go through a bit more development until a final release is produced.
Deliverables:
Report on completed work,
Demo version presentation
Roles:
Project Manager,
Developers,
QA,
DevOps (depends on the project)
Release - evaluation and closure phase
During the evaluation and closure step, we confirm the completion of the product development, deploy the product and evaluate the whole process. Evaluation allows us to analyze the process, define strengths and mistakes, and create a knowledge base based on the development process.
Deliverables:
Confirmation of successful release to production
Roles:
Business Analyst,
Project Manager,
QA Engineer
Support - maintenance (per request) phase
After the product deployment, the client can request us to maintain the product. We provide the project with the necessary team members who will work on the project and maintain it.
Deliverables:
Smoooth Product Work,
Reports
Roles:
Project Manager,
Developers,
QA Engineer
After deployment, there are
two ways of proceeding with
the cooperation:
Project Сlosure
We perform the proper closure phase, which includes:
- Remove all access and credentials from our side
- Terminate chatting and management tools
- Compare billed hours and send the last invoice to the customer if needed
- Run project retrospective with the team
Project Maintenance
We can continue maintaining and supporting the released project as per client’s request. Maintenance way includes:
- Fix emerging bugs
- Implement enhancements
- Integrate product with third-parties
- Provide technology consulting

Roles Included
In The Software Product
Business Analyst
It is almost impossible to develop a decent product without a Business Analyst as it is the specialist who creates accurate requirements for the product, analyzes the market, and serves as a mediator between business and technological sides.
Project Manager
The Project Manager leads the development team, solves emerging issues, monitors development progression, and evaluates performance. Having a good PM on your project means a high-quality product that releases according to the initial plan.
Developers
Developers are the core part of the development process. Their primary mission is to code the software accurately according to requirements, so the coded features work correctly as designed.
Quality Assurance
If you want to get as much polished and bugless product as possible, the QA team is vital for you. Testing, finding, and preventing bugs is much cheaper than fixing them after release.
DevOps
DevOps takes part in each stage of SDLC and ensures tight cooperation between teams of developers, adjusting cloud services, tracking configurations, and infrastructure.
