Software Dev Process for Startups

TL;DR: Aviga replaces "Black Box" development with a transparent, 4-step blueprint: Discovery, Prototyping, Agile Development, and Scale. We ship working code every Friday, ensuring your product evolves at the speed of your users' feedback.



At Aviga, we don't believe in "mystery development." We believe in a structured, transparent, and high-velocity process that keeps you in the driver's seat.


Here is exactly what happens when you decide to build with us.


Phase 1: Discovery (The Mind Map)

Timeline: 1 Week

We start by understanding your "Why." What problem are you solving? Who is your user? We map out the technical scope, select the optimal tech stack, and define the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

  • Outcome: A detailed Technical Specification Document and a Project Roadmap.

  • Phase 2: Prototyping (The Visual Proof)

    Timeline: 1-2 Weeks

    Our designers create high-fidelity wireframes and clickable prototypes. You see exactly how the app will look and feel before we write a single line of backend code.

  • Outcome: A clickable Figma prototype and a validated UI/UX design.

  • Phase 3: Development (The Build)

    Timeline: 4-6 Weeks

    This is where the magic happens. We follow an Agile Scrum methodology. Every Friday, we host a Demo Call where you see the working features. No black boxes.

  • Outcome: Weekly feature releases and a production-ready codebase.

  • Phase 4: Launch & Scale (The Deployment)

    Timeline: 1 Week

    We set up your cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), configure your analytics, and push the "Go Live" button. But we don't stop there. We monitor the launch and help you iterate based on the first week of user data.

  • Outcome: Live product, zero-downtime deployment, and a scaling plan.

  • Why This Process Works

    Most "software development process for startups" fail because they are too rigid. The Aviga process is Lean. We focus on shipping the core value first, allowing you to get to market faster than your competitors. Learn more about our services.
