From Requirement to Reality: How Our Agile Development Process Delivers Salesforce Success
by Duncan Bridges, Director
On Demand Salesforce Developers
When engaging on-demand Salesforce developers, the process matters as much as the technical expertise. Here's how our structured yet flexible approach ensures your Salesforce projects deliver maximum business value with minimal disruption.
Phase 1: Discovery & Definition
Every successful project begins with a thorough understanding of your business objectives and technical environment. Key Activities:
- Business process mapping sessions with stakeholders
- Technical environment assessment
- User experience workshops
- Data model review and optimization planning
- Success metrics definition
Deliverables:
- Prioritized requirements backlog
- Technical approach document
- Project roadmap with clear milestones
- Initial architecture diagrams
Rather than rushing to implementation, we invest in this critical foundation to ensure development efforts align precisely with your business priorities.
Phase 2: Sprint-Based Development
Our development process embraces agility while maintaining clear structure.
Key Characteristics:
- Two-week sprints with defined objectives
- Daily standups for immediate issue resolution
- Continuous integration practices
- Automated testing implementation
- Weekly demos of working functionality

Client Involvement:
- Sprint planning and review sessions
- User acceptance testing of completed features
- Reprioritization based on emerging insights
This approach delivers several advantages over traditional development models:
- Early visibility into working functionality
- Opportunity to refine requirements based on tangible results
- Flexibility to adapt to changing business priorities
- Continuous value delivery rather than end-of-project surprises
Phase 3: Validation & Optimization
Before deployment, we ensure your solution performs optimally in all scenarios.
Key Activities:
- Performance testing under expected load conditions
- Security review and vulnerability assessment
- User acceptance validation
- Documentation finalization
- Knowledge transfer sessions
Optimization Focus Areas:
- Query performance and governor limit compliance
- Mobile experience refinement
- Integration error handling
- Report and dashboard usability
Phase 4: Deployment & Transition
A successful launch requires more than just technical deployment
Our Approach Includes:
- Phased deployment strategy to minimize business disruption
- Comprehensive rollback plans
- User adoption monitoring
- Just-in-time training materials
- Hypercare support period
- Transition planning for ongoing maintenance
The Difference: Development Partners vs. Resource Providers
Unlike transactional resource providers who simply supply developers, our process-driven approach ensures you receive not just technical expertise, but a complete delivery methodology that:
- Reduces project risk through proven patterns
- Accelerates time-to-value through efficient execution
- Improves solution quality through integrated quality assurance
- Enhances knowledge transfer for long-term success
- Maximizes business impact through alignment with strategic objectives
When evaluating on-demand Salesforce development partners, look beyond hourly rates and technical certifications to understand the process that will transform your requirements into business reality.
