Haunt has built success by consistently delivering on time and budget with no surprises.
This has been based on our ability to understand what success looks like, and by defining what is being delivered in a way that is understood by everyone involved in the project.
Read about the key steps in our delivery process below.
We start by listening to what you are trying to achieve and understanding how you have got to where you are.
This is also a chance to get to know each other and for you to get a sense of what it would be like to work with Haunt.
If we feel like we aren't the right fit for you, or that you should be looking at going down a different path, we'll be honest about that. If we agree that we can achieve something great together, we'll tee up a context session.
Let's chat
Time to get into the detail. Our context gathering involves a semi-structured workshop to explore the key areas that we know are important to ensure a successful project. We define success, identify risks, and build a solid understanding of how we'll work together during the project.
Having the right people involved at this stage ensures that the project is understood by everyone. It removes the need to bring people up to speed with documents that nobody reads, and often flushes out critical information that would otherwise be undiscovered until later in the project.
This workshop provides context for the remainder of the project, and identifies what steps are needed to move things forward toward a confirmed scope of work.
Context is key
The middle stage of our approach isn't rigidly defined - it varies depending on the needs of the project.
It can include:
Whatever this stage includes, our work will be driven by our principles of clarity and pragmatism.
Armed with everything we know so far we confirm the scope of what is being built through our roadmapping workshop. The key outputs of this workshop are to:
The detail that we get out of this stage allows our team to accurately estimate or quote the work, breaking it down into distinct parts that can be moved in and out of scope. This allows you to prioritise investment to get the best possible outcome.
We get into the detail to ensure effective delivery
The detailed scope of work ensures our delivery team knows exactly what is being built so they can get on with the job.
The next thing you'll see is something close to the finished project, ready for your feedback, testing and approval.
Clear, detailed scope allows our team to deliver your project on time and budget with no surprises.
We may take a more agile approach by breaking projects into phases, refining after each. But we find that most clients really just want the “big bang” - they've got a budget and want to know what they are going to get before committing to the work. Our process makes it easier for clients to envisage the end product, providing enough clarity to avoid the pitfalls/surprises that can accompany waterfall projects. It's the best of agile, and waterfall.
Time to work our magic
Our approach ensures everyone has a detailed understanding of what is being built, so there are no awkward conversations toward the end of the project about what is in and out of scope.
Our process ensures direct relationships between the design and technical experts and our clients. Effective collaboration underpins everything we do.
Our team works in a wide range of technology and uses industry leading approaches that we draw on to ensure the success of your project.
