We start each engagement with a research and assessment phase to ensure we understand your business goals as well as your existing system's capacity to embrace new innovations.
Business Goals: We meet with various stakeholders across your business to understand the impact blockchain technologies could have.
Technical Discovery: We dive into your technical infrastructure and analyze existing architecture, code, testing, and delivery processes to better understand where blockchain technologies could provide value either by replacing or integrating with existing workflows and systems.
We synthesize our research into recommendations, and meet with your business and technical experts to develop use cases for how blockchain technologies could impact your business.
We build detailed project plans for selected use cases, including:
Defining objectives
Identifying timelines, milestones, and checkpoints
Devising a risk mitigation plan
Building out system architecture diagrams and low-fidelity storyboards to guide development efforts
After building a portfolio of potential use cases, we meet with your stakeholders to prioritize the projects based on expected return on investment and cost-benefit analysis for both short- and long-term goals.
We begin developing your highest-priority use case, gathering feedback from live users within your team.
8th Light’s software professionals deliver working software through an iterative, agile process that incorporates feedback at every stage of development.
Our iterative development process allows us to maintain a sharp focus on fulfilling a specific use case, and it also offers value that reverberates to other work as well. If we decide to pivot our Proof of Concept to a slightly different use case or start a brand new one altogether, we will always leave each iteration with a core asset of functioning software that we can leverage toward future development and trials.
Having already incorporated feedback from key stakeholders and internal users, we will launch the working Proof of Concept application to external users, and begin measuring the possible impact of this product in the market and at scale.
At the conclusion of this phase, we will have a fully workable software product that has undergone extensive user testing. We will have sufficient data to determine the viability and market impact of the product, and can either release the product to the public, move on to building a new Proof of Concept that tests the next use case, or both.
