Agile, the way we actually run it

Agile methodology that ships working software in short cycles. No big reveal at the end.

Agile, for us, means you see working software early and often, tell us what's wrong while it's still cheap to change, and watch it get fixed. It's how two engineers working with AI agents rebuilt a manufacturer's ERP in about five months, and how we finished two online schools that other firms had spent two years on.

A real client, a real rhythm

At Quest, most feedback came back as working software within a week.

We met with Quest Industries twice a week while we rebuilt their ERP. After each round of testing, their VP of Operations sent us a deck of requests and bugs. Most decks were closed within a week, and some items shipped the next day. Our engineers called it double the feedback we normally get, and it's why the system reached real use in about five months.

✓
Email intake
quoting
Anyone can forward a request for a quote, and AI reads every file into one brief.
✓
PO vs. quote check
jobs
Drag a customer's PO in from Outlook, and price, quantity, terms and ship-to are compared with the quote, line by line.
✓
Copy quote lines
quoting
Duplicating a line keeps its materials and prices. In the old system, copying a quote wiped them out.
✓
Schedule this job
scheduling
Link a mold's components once, press one button, and every step is booked back from the promised date.
✓
Phone receiving
purchasing
Photograph a packing slip on a phone and receive the delivery against its PO.
✓
Daily digest
workflow
One summary at each person's own hour, instead of the flood of automated email the old system sent.

How a sprint runs

Our agile development process: plan, build, show you, fix, repeat

Every sprint is a short, fixed stretch of work that ends with something you can use. Here's what happens in each one.

01
sprint planning
Plan
We agree on the goal for the sprint and pick the few things that get us there. You set the priorities.
02
build + test
Build
Our engineers build the features, working with AI coding agents. Every change runs the automated tests before it can ship.
03
sprint review
Show you
You see working software on real data, not slides. Quest's first review ran on data from their own system, four weeks after kickoff.
04
your notes
Hear what's wrong
Send feedback however suits you. Quest sent slide decks of requests and bugs, and we turned recorded meetings straight into action items.
05
release
Fix and ship
Fixes go out as they're ready, not saved up for a big launch. Nothing reaches production without a person's approval.
06
retrospective
Look back
We talk about what went well and what didn't, and change how we work for the next sprint.

Short Cycles on RealProjects

What working in sprints looked like for our clients.

Quest Industries

Mold tooling and machining, Michigan

Problem: Quotes, jobs and purchasing ran across four or five systems that were never designed to work together, and the old system's license renewal set a deadline.

What we did: Met twice a week and showed working software from the start: a first build review on Quest's own data four weeks after kickoff, then AI quoting, jobs, scheduling and purchasing in turn.

Result: The first complete quote in the new system was “like 80% faster.” It reached real use in about five months.

American Allied Health

Online healthcare training

Problem: They had scrapped the project twice with other development companies.

What we did: Rebuilt the whole platform in sprints they could follow, with one source of truth and one Microsoft Teams channel for every question.

Result: Done in 7 months, on time and under budget, with average monthly revenue up more than 20%. “They surprised us multiple times throughout the journey and hit the milestones quicker than we thought.”

Petra Medical College

Healthcare career college

Problem: A previous firm had spent two years on their online school with scant progress.

What we did: Designed it first in more than 300 Figma mockups, then built the admin, partner and student portals and the public site.

Result: Completed within 5 months, on time and under budget. “They delivered what they promised and were respectful of our time.”

Costera

Waste transport and environmental services

Problem: The only software on the market was too expensive, didn't fit how they worked, and wouldn't let them control their own data.

What we did: Built it in regular intervals with frequent demos, so the founders' feedback shaped every round. The platform grew past its original scope.

Result: About 600 jobs a year run through it: “it's a one-stop-shop.” Mike Bruno, VP

Pacific Southwest Container

Packaging manufacturer, 1,000+ employees

Problem: Recycling pickups, logistics and food-safety audits ran on spreadsheets and email.

What we did: Wrote the work as stories for each person on the floor (“As a Shipping Clerk, I want to complete and annotate bale tasks from my forklift or via email”) and built to them.

Result: Three applications, delivered on time and under budget, with high adoption on the floor.

Sell Your Boards

Electronics recycling buyback

Problem: Orders came in by email, shipping labels were bought by hand, and payouts lived in spreadsheets.

What we did: Of the seven firms the founder looked at, we were the only one with a working prototype before the first call. Then we built the full platform.

Result: 47 orders and $4,171.11 paid out to sellers in its first week.

In a client's words

American Allied Health had scrapped their project twice with other firms before they came to us. We rebuilt their online school in seven months, on time and under budget.

Project management was exceptional because they showed us the entire system they had to run their sprints.
