Product Design and Development
Astraeus’s Product Design and Development service enables the creation of innovative, efficient, and usercentric products through a comprehensive process that includes concept development, detailed design, prototyping, testing, and final production.
We emphasise collaboration and transparency, utilising Agile methodologies and tools to ensure continuous stakeholder engagement and feedback.
Open and collaborative delivery
Transparent communication: We implement regular open forums, including daily stand-ups, sprint planning sessions, reviews, and retrospectives. These forums ensure transparency and foster a collaborative environment, characterised by open communication, idea sharing and constructive feedback.
Daily stand-ups: We recommend daily stand-up meetings to ensure everyone in the project environment engages together regularly. This practice allows for early identification and swift resolution of issues. Stand-ups are especially crucial for remote teams, as they help foster team cohesion and connection.
Shared documentation: Utilising collaboration tools like Confluence and Jira, Astraeus maintains shared documentation and a transparent backlog that all team members and stakeholders can access.
Stakeholder engagement: We hold regular stakeholder meetings and demos to ensure alignment, gather feedback, and build engagement throughout the product design and development process.
Cross-functional teams: Our teams consist of a multiplicity of resources, in different roles, working closely together. This crossfunctional approach ensures all perspectives are considered, promoting collaborative problem-solving.
Agile delivery
Iterative development: Astraeus follows Agile methodologies to deliver incremental improvements and adapt to changing requirements swiftly. Astraeus either aligns to the preferred methodology or proposes a methodology that best fits the requirement.
User feedback loops: Regular usability testing and user feedback sessions are conducted to ensure that the product evolves in line with user needs and expectations.
Throughout delivery, we implement continuous feedback mechanisms to ensure the work is carried out effectively. Insights gained from agile ceremonies refine both the product and delivery process, optimising Astraeus’s ability to meet user needs and expectations.
