Tech42 Software Solutions GmbH
Tech42 software development process — from discovery to production in five phases

Process

Software development process — how we work with you.

Five phases, clearly structured. A flow in which you have transparency at every step — on status, effort, and next moves.

Principles

Four principles that carry everything.

Four ground rules that shape our work across all phases and methods.

Contract before code.

We clarify IP rights, responsibilities, and project flow before we write the first line. Clarity protects both sides.

Working software every two weeks.

You see real, runnable iterations every two weeks — progress you can experience and verify directly in the browser.

Fixed price after Discovery.

A fixed-price Discovery clarifies requirements, architecture, and effort. On that basis a Werkvertrag with a clearly defined scope — you know what the project costs before we write the first line.

Senior engineering with ownership.

Senior engineers work on your project — with real project experience across industries, clean architecture, and clear technical decisions.

The flow

Five phases, one clear path.

From first call to operations — here’s what the journey from initial contact to production software actually looks like.

Phase 01
1–2 weeks

First call & discovery

On the first call we clarify your idea and whether we’re a fit. If yes, a fixed-price Discovery follows: requirements, use cases, risks, architecture sketch. At the end you have a detailed backlog and a clear view of scope and effort.

Phase 02
~1 week

Offer & agreement

You receive a written offer with architecture sketch, effort estimate, and contract draft. Werkvertrag if we own delivery alone, otherwise Dienstvertrag. Either way the contract clarifies scope, IP rights, project flow, and modalities. Signed means: ready to build.

Phase 03
sprint-based

Build

We build in short iterations — production-ready, tested, documented. Each iteration ends with a demo and a clear state. Requirements may change — we adapt without losing the plan.

Phase 04
ongoing

Iterate

Once real users are involved, we learn with you. What works, what doesn’t, where the next lever sits. Re-prioritisation is part of the rhythm — we handle it pragmatically and transparently.

Phase 05
4 weeks + optional

Handover & operations

Code, documentation, and knowledge transfer to your team. Optionally we stay involved with support, maintenance, or new features. You decide how much Tech42 you keep around.

Ready for Phase 1?

A first call clarifies your project, effort, and architecture in 30 minutes — no obligation, with a concrete assessment at the end.
