Factors in Successful Development Acceleration

  • Product Leadership

    We identify Business Analysis in Software Product Development as a separate area of expertise, targeted to extend capabilities and facilitate your central Product Management efforts. This helps your Product Manager to scale properly and focus on the most critical things, without being overloaded by a huge amount of information from users or multiple products requirements management tasks, etc.

  • Focus on Product Quality

    All product quality assurance functions are handled by an independent QA department whose sole mission is the quality of your product at its every aspect. Independence from the development team guarantees that you always get correct understanding of the quality and will be able to make informed decisions based on that information.

  • Global Delivery

    Logicstrong has delivery centers in the United States, Western and Eastern Europe, and Russia. Such a distributed, but flat and flexible organization structure enables close communication between your team and the Logicstrong team while improving its efficiency and avoiding the complexities of direct management of remote development and QA teams.

  • Intellectual Property Protection

    Logicstrong has a strong focus on a service-based business model. This is one of the principal points we are building our work around and it is designed and implemented to protect Logicstrong’s clients from unfair competition practices. Strong corporate policies, standards and infrastructure protect client Intellectual Property from being used by anybody else, including other product teams within Logicstrong.

Engagement Scenarios

  • Full Cycle Product Development

    You have an idea that has to be implemented and delivered to the market. We will help you identify the required budget, assign the team and integrate it properly with your Product Management and Marketing teams.

  • Customer’s In-house Team Expansion

    You have already defined processes and established a team, but would like to extend or optimize your current development capabilities. We will analyze your existing processes to adjust our standard approach. We will assign a project team that may be scaled when required. The process is coordinated by a product development manager on the customer’s side.

  • Project Rescue

    You have a partially completed product. It requires to be finished under tight deadlines, while documentation may be incomplete or not available at all, some source code may be missing. We will analyze what you have, assess product completeness level realistically and provide you with a plan to finish your product.

  • Independent QA and Testing

    You require an independent QA and testing to verify the quality of your product. We can provide a full cycle QA service or just a specific type of test. We normally work with your existing issue tracking systems or help you to establish one for efficient and transparent communication. We can cooperate with an in-house QA team or work directly with your development team.
