Methodology

Our methodology, your success.

A proven methodology that supports you every step of the way towards a product that ships and stays in production.

The right product

Building the right product, not just any product.

Numerous iterations in close partnership with our clients to ensure that the final product is in line with your expectations and strategy. The method is adjusted case-by-case - below is a representative example.

Five phases

From scoping to the long term.

Five key stages, each with its deliverables and validation checkpoints.

01

Preparation

Validate the specs and confirm the envisaged product is the right one.

  • Unlimited iterations on the graphic universe of key components (header, footer, key call-to-action buttons).
  • Unlimited iterations on functional specifications to challenge the product before production starts.
  • Proactive advice on best practices and possible optimizations.
02

Development

Code the right product in record time.

  • Project sequenced into deliverable batches.
  • Regular reporting sessions to give clients oversight of the project.
  • Built-in conformity and timing checks throughout.
03

Pre-production

Test and fine-tune the product before release.

  • Private pre-release platform to fully review every functionality.
  • Active training of your selected key users to become platform administrators.
04

Go-live

Official product launch.

  • Deployment on-premise, with your own provider, or through Bluesquare’s managed hosting.
  • Delivery of key technical components (source code, server and database access) to ensure your full technical independence.
05

Post-production

Ensure long-term adoption of the product, key to its success.

  • Continuous adaptive maintenance.
  • Training and knowledge transfer with your tech team.
  • Iteration of the cycle above for new features.

Technical independence

Our clients keep the keys.

Helping our clients succeed also means giving them the means to be technically independent in the long term. A digital project is only a real asset if it can live without us.

Code ownership

You are the outright owner of the code we produce - free to edit, adapt or re-use it without our knowledge, consent or involvement.

Documentation

Our code is documented in line with established best practices, so it is easy to maintain, upgrade, and onboard new developers onto.

Tech choices

We advise you on critical technology decisions to guarantee your independence from any vendor: a durable, manageable, documented stack.

Commitment

A full-stack team by your side, from first brief to long-term operations.

Everyone’s a full-stack developer at Bluesquare. We strongly believe that the full project lifecycle - including post-production, project management and user training - should be led by experienced developers with a real sense of entrepreneurship.

Full-stack developers

The whole team is trained to the same Bluesquare standards and processes. Anyone can answer any post-production matter, from UX design to the deep technical database architecture.

A stable team

Our team is mostly made of long-term, permanent contributors. Rather than outsourcing production, we believe in fostering a close relationship with our clients and growing our in-house expertise.

The pact

What we expect from you.

The most successful projects are those where client and partner challenge and raise the bar for each other. We only position ourselves on projects where we can deeply understand and align with your strategy.

Mutual trust

We differentiate ourselves by the quality of the technical and strategic advice we provide - it is therefore critical that we understand your business drivers to propose the right technical options.

Responsiveness

Your decision-makers are key success factors: they are the project’s internal champions. At some point, we need direct access to the relevant decision-makers.

Disintermediation

We exclusively work with our end customers and do not position ourselves as sub-contractors. Reducing intermediation has a direct impact on the quality of advice and the adoption of the product.
