# Software product development

> For companies building software to sell. One team covers product management, design, engineering, QA and release, so the product ships as a whole rather than in handed-off parts.

A product that customers pay for needs more than code. Someone has to decide what goes into each release, someone has to design it, someone has to build and test it, and someone has to ship it without breaking what customers rely on. When those roles sit with different vendors, the product slows at every handover. We bring them into one team: a product manager, designers, engineers and QA who plan, build and release together, against a roadmap you own. The product moves forward release by release, and each release is tested before customers see it.

## What you get

- **Product management included**: Someone who owns the backlog, writes the requirements and keeps each release tied to your business goals.
- **Design and engineering in step**: Designers and engineers in the same team, so what is designed is what gets built.
- **QA before every release**: Automated and manual testing, so customers find new features rather than new bugs.
- **Releases on a schedule**: Planned releases on a regular cadence, with notes your sales and support teams can use.
- **A roadmap you own**: A plan of what comes next, reviewed with you and changed as the market answers.

## How it works

1. **Shape the roadmap**: We agree the product goals with you and turn them into a roadmap and a first backlog.
2. **Design and specify**: The product manager and designers define each feature before engineering starts on it.
3. **Build in short cycles**: Engineers build in short cycles, and QA tests each feature as soon as it is finished.
4. **Release and review**: We ship to customers, see how the release is used and feed that into the next plan.
