Step 1 of 7
Initial Project Assessment and Definition
In the early phases of our data engineering development process, we engage in a free consultation to gauge project compatibility. During the discovery and feasibility analysis, we adapt to your needs, whether it's high-level requirements. We gather information to define project scope through discussions, including feature lists, data fields, and solution architecture. We craft a project plan to guide our progress, reflecting our dedication to achieving project goals and delivering effective data engineering solutions.
So, you have finally decided that you are ready to cooperate with DATAFOREST.
The discovery stage involves delving into the details of the project. Data engineers gather requirements, analyze existing data systems, and understand the needs of the business. This step is crucial for laying the groundwork for development, as it ensures that the project aligns with business goals and user needs.
Step 3 of 7
Tech Design and Backlog Planning
In this stage, the technical architecture and design of the solution are formulated. Data engineers plan how data will be collected, stored, processed, and presented. Simultaneously, the project backlog is created — a list of tasks and features to be developed. This backlog is prioritized, ensuring that high-priority items are addressed first.
Step 4 of 7
Development Based on Sprints
Development takes place in iterative cycles known as sprints. During each sprint, the development team tackles tasks from the backlog. The team focuses on coding, testing, and integrating the components. At the end of each sprint, a functional part of the solution is ready for review.
Step 5 of 7
Project Wide QA
Quality Assurance is an ongoing process that permeates the entire project development lifecycle. It ensures rigorous testing, identification, and resolution of any bugs or issues to guarantee the solution's smooth operation, compliance with requirements, and alignment with quality standards. The solution is prepared for release as QA activities persist and necessary adjustments are continuously implemented.
Step 6 of 7
Deployment and Rollout
The deployment phase involves releasing the solution to the production environment, making it accessible to users. It requires careful planning to ensure a seamless transition and minimal disruption. After deployment, the rollout phase begins, involving training for users and ongoing support to address any hiccups.
