Our collaborative process

At Shape, we work side-by-side with you from project kickoff through agile development, using an iterative approach to refine, test, and enhance your software at every stage. This collaborative process ensures we adapt quickly to feedback, align with your goals, and deliver a solution that achieves the best possible outcome.

Kickoff & Event Storming (Discovery & Requirements)

We start by working closely with you to get your expertise out of your head and into our hands. This helps us deeply understand the problem we’re solving before jumping into solutions.

UX Design & Prototyping

With a clear understanding of the problem, we design the user experience and create interactive prototypes so you can see how your product might work before we build it.

Prototypes are easy and cost-effective to change, software isn’t.

We walk through the prototype together, making changes based on your feedback until we’re confident it solves the right problem, the right way.

Sprint Based Development & Agile Delivery

Now we build. We work in focused sprints, delivering usable features regularly with full visibility into progress as the product takes shape.

Release Your App & Improve

Launching is just the beginning. We embrace agile methodologies to continuously refine your product based on real user feedback and evolving business needs. With regular iterations and transparent communication, we ensure your software stays relevant, reliable, and aligned with your goals,  adapting quickly to deliver ongoing value as your business grows.
