Our Fixed Scope Project Process
01
Discovery Phase
The discovery phase gives you a deeper understanding of your project, uncovers possibilities that were perhaps overlooked so far, even when System Requirements Specification (SRS) and Business Requirement Documents (BRD) are available. This phase ensures that all project aspects are fully understood and aligned, setting a solid foundation for subsequent stages.
- Purpose: To thoroughly understand your business needs and project requirements.
- Outcome: Detailed specifications, including features, functionalities and deliverables are developed through stakeholder interviews, market analysis, and feasibility studies.
02
Planning
During the planning phase, we establish a detailed roadmap for the project. This phase ensures that all team members are aligned and prepared for the upcoming development stages, providing a structured approach to achieving project goals.
- Purpose: To create a comprehensive project plan.
- Outcome: A well-defined timeline, milestones, and resource allocation based on the discovery phase findings.
03
Design
During the design phase, we translate the project requirements into visual and interactive elements. This phase ensures that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the user interface and experience, allowing for adjustments and refinements before development begins.
- Purpose: To develop a clear and detailed design blueprint.
- Outcome: Wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that visualise the end product and ensure alignment with project goals.
04
Development
During the software development phase, our team transforms the design blueprint into a working product. Rigorous coding standards and best practices are followed to ensure the final product is robust and scalable.
- Purpose: To build your project according to the detailed specifications.
- Outcome: A fully functional product, with all features and systems integrated, built using high-quality code.
05
Testing
In the testing phase, we conduct comprehensive tests to validate the product’s functionality and performance against the defined requirements. This rigorous process ensures that the final digital product is robust, secure, and ready for deployment.
- Purpose: To ensure your project meets quality standards and requirements.
- Outcome: A rigorously tested product, including functional, security, and performance tests, ensuring reliability and effectiveness.
06
Deployment
In the deployment phase, we transition the project from development to a live environment. This involves configuring servers, setting up databases, and ensuring all components function seamlessly together.
- Purpose: To launch your digital product smoothly and effectively.
- Outcome: A live environment where your digital product functions correctly and efficiently, ready for use.
07
Continuous Support
If a support agreement is established, we offer comprehensive maintenance services to keep your digital product running smoothly. Our team provides continuous assistance, implements regular updates, and quickly addresses any issues that may arise.
- Purpose: To provide ongoing support and maintenance.
- Outcome: Continuous support, regular updates, and prompt troubleshooting to ensure long-term success and optimal performance.

Our WorkWhen To Choose Our Fixed Scope Software Development Model?
Consider our fixed scope project model in the following situations:
- Stable Requirements: When project requirements are well-understood and unlikely to change significantly.
- Detailed Specifications: If you have or need detailed specifications, including features, functionalities, and deliverables, after a longer Discovery phase.
- Fixed Budget: You have a fixed budget for the entire project.
- Waterfall Approach: Prefer a waterfall approach with no changing priorities during the project.
- External Team Preference: Prefer working with an external team rather than recruiting in-house.
- Predictability: Favour defining all project details upfront for predictability.
- Longer Time-to-Market: Prefer predictability and a longer time-to-market over cost and faster time-to-market.
- Projects with a duration of up to 6 months.
- Projects that require high security and do not allow for iterative changes.
- Static website development where requirements are clear and unchanging.
The Benefits of Fixed Price Software Development
Predefined Requirements & Scope
The requirements, scope and deliverables of your software solution are defined in advance. There are no changes occuring once the project starts, as is the case with other approaches to software development.
Fixed Budget
Because the requirements and deliverables have been defined and agreed upon, the budget for your project is fixed. Knowing the cost in advance is crucial for budgeting and financial planning.
Fixed Timeline
Your project must be completed within a precisely defined amount of time. This is why a fixed scope and price approach is ideal in this case. You know when to expect the completion, which aids in planning any subsequent activities.
Easier Management
The project is often divided into clear milestones and deliverables, making it easy to track progress. You can focus on your core business, while we take care of all the design and development, which are clearly defined.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How do I manage a fixed scope and fixed price project? And how involved do I need to be during the project?
Managing a fixed scope and price project involves clear communication and defined roles. During the discovery phase, your full involvement is required to define requirements. During the software development phase, the involvement is reduced and isn’t needed that much. A single point of contact should be nominated for coordination and escalations. Key stakeholders must participate in necessary activities, and cooperation from third-party suppliers is essential since any delay can impact the timeline and the overall budget.
What is the cost structure for a fixed scope project?
The cost structure for a fixed scope project is straightforward. It involves a predetermined and agreed-upon budget for the entire project. The project requirements are defined and agreed upon at the beginning, and any subsequent changes to the scope will be estimated and charged separately.
Do you provide support and maintenance after project completion?
Yes, we offer comprehensive support and maintenance services after project completion, but only if a support agreement is in place. This includes continuous assistance, regular updates, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance of your project going forward.
Can the project timeline be adjusted if needed?
The project timeline for a fixed scope project is established during the Discovery phase and typically remains unchanged. Any subsequent changes to the scope will require new estimations and will be charged separately. These changes may impact the timeline and target dates. Smaller changes are accepted only if tasks of equal size are removed from the scope, with written confirmation from the client.
What kind of projects are best suited for the fixed scope model?
The fixed scope project model is best suited for digital projects with a duration of up to six months, where detailed planning and execution are essential. It is ideal for high-security projects that do not allow for iterative changes, ensuring stringent security measures are in place. Additionally, it is perfect for static website development where requirements are clear and unchanging, providing a predictable and stable project outcome.
