Stop feeling anxious about the results of your software development initiative. Drawing on 25+ years in digital product engineering, we have crafted a delivery model that irons out all the kinks in your project landscape. By being more calibrated in how we work and more exact in squeezing out value, we bring your project to fruition — always.
Software development goes beyond coding. It’s about keeping up with evolving business expectations and ensuring that coveted return on investment. However, the path to meeting those goals is often a bumpy one.
Missed deadlines, bloated budgets, and a jerry-rigged product that doesn’t align with your vision – this isn’t just a hypothetical scenario; it’s a reality faced by many.
To ensure the distilled value of your software development undertaking, we build on top of a well-considered blend of disciplined agility and rigorous project management, tailored to ward off all project complexities.

The heart of our projects’ success lies in a unique delivery model, inspired by the principles of DAD (Disciplined Agile Delivery) and PMBoK and aligned with ISO 9001:2015 standards. This model isn’t just about following a standard playbook. Instead, it focuses on building an optimal way of working to achieve consistent, desirable outcomes.
From inception to completion, our delivery framework serves as a guide for the entire software development lifecycle. It helps to tackle a multitude of hurdles that come with product development, such as technical intricacies, inefficient collaboration, changing stakeholder needs, and legacy code issues.
Instinctools’ delivery framework is anchored in the PM Handbook, an architecture-driven approach, and robust engineering practices. Together, they form a cohesive strategy that ensures excellence in every aspect of project delivery.
In the realm of project management, achieving success requires more than expertise. It calls for a reliable guide to navigate through the journey. Our PM Handbook serves as that guide, carefully steering teams toward smooth project delivery. Rooted in efficient communication, transparent development process, and risk management, our handbook encompasses best practices, advanced tools, and comprehensive checklists. It empowers project managers and teams to establish clear objectives, adapt to dynamic environments and maintain a trajectory of excellence, ensuring every project reaches its intended destination of success.
At the core of our delivery framework lies the architecture-driven methodology – a testament to our belief that strong structures are built upon solid foundations. This approach unfolds in four stages:
Getting into the weeds of the client’s requirements and constraints to tailor our solutions according to both functional and non-functional requirements
Designing a solution architecture that’s both groundbreaking and attainable
Preparing detailed documentation to chart the course for developers and stakeholders
Evaluating architecture to identify potential risks, trade-offs, and benefits of various architectural choices
We refine the way engineers work through best industry practices, well-honed processes, and continuous learning.
Lead your project to groundbreaking outcomes
Underpinned by a well-honed governance framework, our delivery model supports seamless collaboration between the client’s representatives and the *instinctools team throughout every project stage. Not only does this approach allow us to work in lockstep with a client, it also spurs deep involvement from various levels of management, contributing to successful project delivery.
Senior management from both sides conducts quarterly reviews to oversee the Statement of Work, financial operations, and service adjustments. These check-ins ensure that the overarching goals of the project are aligned with the client’s vision and facilitates smooth operations at the macro level.
Along with the client’s IT or Business Unit managers, our account managers review service agreements, manage risks and give final approval on deliverables. Apart from that, our very own activities entail providing account status reports and project status updates — all to keep tabs on project’s progress and not let any issue imperil it.
Weekly coordination of the client’s program manager and *instinctools’ delivery manager helps keep all the aspects of project delivery in check. This includes planning and prioritizing tasks, requirements estimation and refinement, reviewing deliverables, and monitoring resources-related issues and potential risks.
Team leaders from the client’s and *instinctools’ sides collaborate daily on tactical issues that impact day-to-day project delivery. The responsibilities of our PMs span across updates on the milestones status and ongoing tasks, risk identification, and creating plans to mitigate them.
Effective communication is key to your project’s advancement
At *instinctools, we take pride in our approach to product delivery, laser-focused on engineering software solutions that cut above the rest. Our methodology consists of five stages, each carefully designed to progress the project from a concept to a fully functional and market-ready product.
At the outset of your project’s journey, we explore and prioritize the most viable options to bring your ideas to life. With us, you can be sure that your initial project vision will be transformed into a strategically aligned action plan.
During the inception phase we dive into defining and planning the architecture of the system. This involves understanding business processes and creating a domain model. Our business analysts strip down your concept to non-negotiables and transform them into software requirements, which are then sized and prioritized to see how they lay out over the sprints.
We build wireframes and prototypes to assess the technical feasibility of certain features and address functionality issues early on. Transforming abstract concepts into tangible samples makes it easier for team members, stakeholders, and clients to be on the same wave when it comes to project vision.
The construction phase is where our team iteratively develops a system. We elaborate on requirements, refine designs and fix any issues that come up during testing. Working hand in glove with the stakeholders, our team regularly gets feedback from them and acts on it to guarantee the uncompromised quality of the future solution.
At the transition phase our main focus is on getting the software ready for production and release. This involves completing all documentation and conducting final system testing. We also provide training to end users and support staff, so that they have the skills to effectively use the system. Once everything is in place, we move on to beta testing — a critical part of preparing the product for the market.
The primary goal of the production phase is to operate and provide support for the released system. Instinctools’ experts identify any defects or areas that can be enhanced to ensure the product is fine-tuned to the nines and surpasses both market and user expectations. Our continuous support guarantees the performance and adaptability of the system in today’s changing market landscape.
