2. WELCOME
TO LASOFT
LaSoft was founded in a mid of 2014th by 2 software
development professionals. At the moment, our team
consists of 7 highly productive, co-located teams. In
total, we employ 70 multi-talented and experienced
professionals including software engineers, UI/UX
designers, project managers and quality assurance
specialists.
Sinсe 2014 LaSoft has successfully delivered 40 small
and big web projects for customers from USA,
Europe, UK and Australia. There are a number of
things which makes us to stand out among other
software vendors

3. We believe that the only
way to succeed and
deliver beautiful and
complex projects
efficiently is to invest
more time and effort at
the project start, defining
the project vision, scope
and design accurately.

4. Our main goal is to
deliver product that our
customer can
test and try early
This is our incremental
delivery strategy

5. 5 STAGES OF SUCCESSFUL AND COST
EFFICIENT PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Define Product
Vision and Scope

specifying features and
workflows and drawing
initial wireframes
20-30 hours
Design

and creating a clickable
prototype
50-150 hours
Plan Delivery
Creating the product
roadmap (plan releases)
10 hours
Build the product
Developing the product,
testing and delivering
incrementally
Deliver the
product
User acceptance testing,
deployment on production
and support

6. CREATE
PROJECT
OVERVIEW
AND SCOPE
The good practice at this stage is to
write down everything we know
about the potential project:
About customer and his vision for the
product
The need behind the product
Who is going to use the product
What problem the product will solve etc

7. After series of meetings (usually 3-4) step by step we define
modules of the product. Module is an essential part of the
product like registration, search, admin, blog etc.
The project specification will be shared with the customer and
the rest of the team as an entry point for the project
estimation.
At this stage we want to keep the product as simple as
possible, if we are not sure that some of the module are
essential parts of the product we try to move it to the later
stages of the delivery.

8. The project specification
usually contains:
1. Product Overview / Vision
2. Technology Stack
3. Architecture Notes & Charts
4. Product Scope
5. Product Estimation
6. Product Delivery Roadmap

9. CREATE UI/UX BEFORE DEVELOPMENT
One of the web development efficiency rule is to have designs
and prototype before you wright the first line of code.
We are able to test the very first prototype without involving
single developer. Our UI/UX designer iterates with you until we
have a perfect match and clear understanding of the product.
Within 1-2 weeks our UI/UX designer will help you to visualize
your idea, or even will make a mobile or desktop prototype for
you. Having UI/UX designs and prototype upfront will save you
20%-40% of your project budget.

10. USE AGILE METHODOLOGY
There is no need to invent a bicycle when it is already exists. In most of our
projects we implement Agile methodologies like Scrum or Kanban.
Scrum Mindmap

11. Release
planning
Define the overall goal,
high-level list of
features and date for
the Release.
2-3 hrs/week
Sprint
Planning
Define, dispatch and
estimate tasks/user
stories to be finished
within the Sprint. It is
essential for the team
to understand the
ultimate goal of the
Sprint.
1-2 hrs/week
Daily StandUp
To make sure the team
progress as planned,
helps synchronize
activities, identify
issues and react early
15 mins/day
Demo
To show the client the
results of the Sprint.
Make sure everything
works the way it should
1 hr/week
Sprint
retrospective
To make the Sprint
overview, discuss
achievements and
points where team can
improve process and
eliminate waste
45 mins/week
Sprint Review/
Closure
Official Sprint closure
event
15 mins/week
We need your involvement but we also respect your time
When project is coordinated and planned well the involvement
of client can be reduced to minimum

12. Proper planning will reduce the time to your involvement. You as a
client will need to be available 8 hours a week for a progress review,
decision making and demo. However, to be productive, our team needs
you to be available at least 15 minutes every day.
