Development Plan

Your Roadmap,
Clear & Transparent
From Day One.

No black boxes. No surprise scope creep. We give you a detailed phase-by-phase plan so you always know exactly where your project stands.

Six phases from idea
to live product

Every project at VELA DIGITAL follows this proven framework — calibrated for speed without sacrificing quality.

1

Discovery

We study your market, users, and business goals. Deliverables: product brief, feature list, tech stack recommendation, and ballpark estimate.

⏱ 3–5 days

2

Design

UX flows, wireframes, and full hi-fi Figma prototypes. Unlimited revision rounds until every screen is exactly as you envisioned.

⏱ 1–3 weeks

3

Development

Agile sprints of 2 weeks. A test build is delivered after every sprint. You see real progress, not just status reports.

⏱ 6–16 weeks

4

QA Testing

Manual and automated testing across target devices. Bug tracking in a shared Jira board — you see every issue and fix in real time.

⏱ 1–2 weeks

5

Store Launch

App Store or Google Play submission, metadata, screenshots, and compliance review. We handle Apple and Google review cycles.

⏱ 3–7 days

6

Growth & Support

Post-launch monitoring, crash triage, iterative updates, and growth consulting to help your app scale in the stores.

⏱ Ongoing
