Axoma's development methodology is designed to ensure predictability, transparency and high quality in customized software projects. It is structured in three main phases – Discovery, Development and Continuous Support – and adapts to each client's level of maturity and goals.
Our process integrates strategic vision, technical excellence and a collaborative approach, ensuring constant alignment between technology, business needs and user experience.
PHASE 1:
Discovery and
Scope Definition
PHASE 2:
Development
PHASE 3:
Support and Evolution
After deployment, Axoma ensures the solution's operational continuity and strategic evolution:
Bug fixes and operational support
Usage monitoring and user experience analysis
Adjustments for improved performance, adherence and usability
Planning and implementation of new features as the business grows
Recommendations for innovation and evolution opportunities
1. Bug fixes and operational issues
2. Usage monitoring and user experience analysis
3. Adjustments to improve performance, grip, and usability.
4. Planning and implementing new features as the business grows.
Recommendations for innovations and opportunities for evolution.
PHASE 3
Continuous Support and Scalability
3. Delivery and Release
After internal testing, the solution goes through:
Client validation
Triage and correction of any discrepancies
Formal acceptance
Deployment to the appropriate environment (production or staging)
When needed, we provide consulting to help choose the ideal infrastructure based on availability, security, scalability and costs.
1. Customer validation
2. Screening and correction of any discrepancies.
3. Formal acceptance
4. Publication in the appropriate environment (production or testing)
Our focus is to evolve the product with security, performance and fidelity to the defined scope.
Feature development
Automated and manual testing
Continuous quality assurance and refinements
Our development cycle follows modern engineering practices with iterative, collaborative deliveries:
2. Production, Testing and Quality Assurance
1. Building the functionalities
2. Automated and manual testing
3. Quality assurance and continuous refinements
This alignment reduces friction and ensures consistent progress.
We start the project with a structured meeting to establish:
Communication routines
Management tools and tracking processes
Milestones and delivery criteria
Team members and responsibilities
1. Kickoff
1. Form and frequency of communication
2. Management tools and monitoring processes
3. Milestones and delivery criteria
4. Introducing the team and their responsibilities.
PHASE 2
Development and Execution
4. Development Proposal
A precise development proposal can only be elaborated after the design project and requirement. When clients provide these assets in advance, Axoma performs a technical review to ensure coherence, predictability and full coverage.
3. Design and Requirements
Absolute clarity on the scope is essential before entering the development phase.
This step deepens the product specification:
Design and User Experience:
Journey mapping, navigation flows and user profiles; UI/UX screen design and prototypes
Business and Technical Requirements:
Business rules, necessary
integrations, architecture guidelines, operational constraints and acceptance criteria
Process Modeling (when applicable):
Mapping and diagramming workflows that the solution will support or transform, identifying opportunities for automation and improvement
These elements form a solid blueprint for the system.
1. Design and Experience
From the User:
Journey mapping, navigation flows and user profiles; screen design and UI/UX prototypes.
2. Business Requirements
and Technicians:
Business rules, necessary integrations, architectural patterns, operational constraints, and acceptance criteria.
3. Process Modeling (when applicable):
Surveying, mapping, and diagramming the processes that the solution will support or transform, identifying opportunities for automation, innovation, and improvements.
2. Scope Alignment Session
Based on initial understanding, we conduct a refinement session to map essential features, define priorities, assess risks and identify dependencies.
The result is a shared vision that guides the proposal´s elaboration.
1. Discovery
The starting point is to deeply understand the client’s scenario:
We identify the project’s stage of maturity (from early ideas with no mockups to advanced phases with structured designs and requirements)
We clarify business goals and the challenges the solution must address
We evaluate how technology can support business objectives, increase efficiency and drive differentiation
This stage ensures all technical decisions that follow are grounded and aligned with the desired impact.
1. We identified the project's maturity stage (from the initial idea without sketches to advanced stages with structured design and requirements).
2. We clarified the business objectives and the challenges that the solution needs to address.
3. We assess how technology can support business objectives, generate efficiency, and promote market differentiation.
