Once the partner approves the requirements, the PM translates them into Jira tickets. These tickets describe each unit of work, and allow us to account for our progress and track velocity. Once the tickets are in the backlog, we begin our first sprint. Depending on the project, we either run one or two-week sprints. It begins with a sprint planning meeting, where we determine the amount of work that we want to accomplish by the end of the sprint. We then move tickets from the backlog into the sprint, and get to work. 

In order to keep close communication, we create internal and external slack channels. 
The external channel includes the client’s team members, as well as 3rd party stakeholders. We use the internal channel to discuss the project’s progress internally. The team meets for scrum every day, where we discuss the general progress and uncover blockers that need to be addressed. Every week, we sync up with the client to discuss the project’s budget and development. This allows us to avoid any big surprises, addressing any small issues before they have the chance to expand.

Once our team completes the deliverable, we submit our project and set up the client for success regarding next steps. Depending on the client, the app will have to be tested internally, tested externally, uploaded to an app marketplace or delivered to the client’s internal engineers. Whatever the situation, we prioritize our partner's success by providing the necessary documentation and support needed to take the project to the next level.
