By choosing Wakapi as your Tech Partner, you’re not just outsourcing a project—you’re gaining a team that’s committed to your success every step of the way.

At Wakapi, we believe that great software isn’t just about lines of code; it’s about people—talented, dedicated individuals who turn ideas into reality. From the moment a concept is born to the final product launch, our team is there every step of the way, ensuring that your vision is brought to life with precision and care. Let’s take a closer look at the phases of software development at Wakapi and how our people make the difference.

1. Discovery Phase: Understanding Your Vision Every successful project begins with a deep understanding of your goals and challenges. In the Discovery Phase, our team collaborates closely with you to define the project’s scope, objectives, and target audience. We don’t just listen; we engage in active discussions to uncover the nuances of your vision. This phase is crucial in laying a strong foundation for the entire project.

Key Activities:

  • Stakeholder Interviews: Our team conducts interviews with key stakeholders to gather insights and align on expectations.
  • Market Research: We analyze industry trends and competitors to ensure your product stands out.
  • Requirements Gathering: We document all technical and functional requirements to guide the project’s development.

2. Setting the Ideal Software Architecture and Tech Stack With a clear understanding of your needs, our software architects step in to design the ideal architecture and choose the most suitable tech stack. This phase is critical in ensuring that the solution is scalable, secure, and efficient.

Key Activities:

  • Architecture Design: Our architects design a blueprint that outlines how different components of the software will interact.
  • Tech Stack Selection: Based on your project’s needs, we choose the best technologies, frameworks, and tools to build a robust solution.
  • Prototyping: We often create a prototype to visualize the architecture and validate the chosen tech stack before full-scale development begins.

3. Forming and Recruiting the Perfect Team Once the architecture is set, it’s time to build the team that will bring your project to life. Wakapi’s proven recruitment process ensures that we assemble a team of experts tailored to your project’s specific requirements.

Key Activities:

  • Team Formation: We handpick specialists—including software engineers, project managers, designers, and QA professionals—based on their expertise and your project’s needs.
  • Onboarding: Our onboarding process ensures that every team member is aligned with the project goals and understands their role in achieving them.
  • Continuous Communication: We establish clear communication channels to keep you informed and involved throughout the development process.

4. Development: Turning Ideas into Reality With the team in place, we move into the development phase, where the magic happens. This phase is where your ideas start to take shape, thanks to the skill and dedication of our developers.

Key Activities:

  • Agile Development: We follow an Agile methodology, allowing us to adapt to changes and deliver incremental value throughout the project.
  • Coding and Implementation: Our developers write clean, efficient code that adheres to best practices and industry standards.
  • Continuous Testing: Quality is built into every step of the process, with regular testing to catch and fix issues early.

5. Launch and Testing: Bringing Your Product to Market The final phase involves launching the product and ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality. But our work doesn’t end there—we continue to support you as your product reaches its users.

Key Activities:

  • User Acceptance Testing (UAT): We work with you to validate that the product meets all requirements and is ready for launch.
  • Deployment: Our team handles the deployment process, ensuring a smooth transition from development to production.
  • Post-Launch Support: We provide ongoing support to address any issues that arise and help you optimize your product for success.

6. Beyond Launch: Continuous Improvement and Maintenance Software development doesn’t end with the launch. At Wakapi, we believe in continuous improvement to ensure your product evolves with changing needs and technologies.

Key Activities:
