OUR APPROACH

At BitBolt we use a multi-phase project model, which we believe gives a much better return on investment than traditional models.

It works by breaking a project down into short phases. For each phase, we ask our customers to choose the smallest possible scope that makes business sense. This allows us to deliver a working product sooner, and gives our customers greater opportunity to ensure that the project is heading in the right direction. Depending on the scale of the project this usually means phases of no more than 8 weeks.

The scope, duration, and price of each phase are agreed upon beforehand. After each phase our customers can decide either that additional phases are required, or that the product is complete. Naturally certain projects, such as a small website, may not be complex enough to require several phases. In this case we are happy to quote a single fixed price for the entire project.

Here's an example, showing an 8 month project, with 4 phases:
