Delivery methodology

How we take you from first conversation to live.

Eight phases, clear owners and a checkpoint at the end of each one. This is the same path we walk every client through — public sector or private, single team or enterprise — so you always know what is happening now, what is next, and what we need from you.

At a glance

A typical engagement runs 7–9 weeks end to end, with written approval gates at design, build review, testing and training.

Phase by phase

What happens, what we need, and how each phase closes

Phase 01

Discover

1–2 weeks

We learn how your team actually works today — channels, queues, handoffs and the things that slow people down.

What we do
  • Discovery workshops with your team
  • Written summary of goals, volumes and pain points
What we need from you
  • Answer the plain-language scoping questionnaire
  • Share current process docs and examples

Checkpoint: An agreed scope and success criteria everyone signs off on.

Phase 02

Design

Weeks 2–3

We turn the discovery notes into a concrete design: intake forms, fields, groups, routing rules, SLAs, macros and knowledge structure.

What we do
  • Visual wireframes of every customer-facing form
  • A written configuration plan for your platform
What we need from you
  • Confirm teams, brands and business rules
  • Review the design walkthrough with us

Checkpoint: A blueprint of your environment you can read without being technical.

Phase 03

Build

Weeks 3–5

Your consultant configures the environment against the approved design — nothing is built that you have not already seen.

What we do
  • Configure forms, fields, routing, SLAs, macros, views and brands
  • Track every item against the plan
What we need from you
  • Provide logos, brand colors and help center content
  • Nominate agents and admins

Checkpoint: A working environment that matches the blueprint, item for item.

Phase 04

Review & approve

Week 5

We walk you through what was built, side by side with the design, and capture your changes before anything is final.

What we do
  • Guided review session
  • Turn feedback into a short, tracked change list
What we need from you
  • Review the build with your stakeholders
  • Approve or raise questions in writing

Checkpoint: Documented approval — no surprises later.

Phase 05

Test (UAT)

Week 6

Your people run real scenarios end to end: a customer submits a request, it routes to the right team, the right rules fire.

What we do
  • Prepared test scripts per process
  • Fix and retest anything that fails
What we need from you
  • Run the agreed test cases with your agents
  • Mark what passed and what did not

Checkpoint: A signed-off test pack proving the system behaves as designed.

Phase 06

Hands-on training & sign-off

Weeks 6–7

Live, role-based working sessions in your own configured environment — your people practice the real thing, not a slide deck.

What we do
  • Role-based training sessions run in your configured environment
  • A short training checklist per role plus quick-reference guides
  • Capture the readiness sign-off in writing
What we need from you
  • Nominate agents, team leads and admins for each session
  • Attend the walkthroughs and confirm each role is ready to sign off

Checkpoint: Every role trained, with a signed training readiness confirmation before the cutover window is confirmed.

Phase 07

Go live

Week 7

A planned cutover at a time that suits your business, with a checklist showing exactly who does what and when.

What we do
  • Run the go-live checklist with you
  • Agent enablement and admin handover pack
What we need from you
  • Confirm the cutover window
  • Brief your team on day-one changes

Checkpoint: Live with a documented rollback plan in your back pocket.

Phase 08

Hypercare

Weeks 7–9

We stay close after launch, tune the configuration against real traffic, and hand over cleanly to your admins.

What we do
  • Daily check-ins tapering to weekly
  • Tuning, training and final documentation
What we need from you
  • Flag anything that feels off in daily use

Checkpoint: Your team confidently owning the environment.

How we work with you

Four commitments that hold every phase together

One team, named people

You get a dedicated consultant and project manager for the whole engagement — not a rotating queue.

Everything written down

Scope, design and decisions live in one shared portal, so nothing depends on remembering an email thread.

You approve before we build

Each phase ends with a checkpoint. Work only moves forward once you have said yes.

Predictable pace

Clear milestones and due dates per phase, with progress visible to you at any time.

Visibility throughout

You watch the whole build from your own client portal.

Every client gets a private space with the project timeline, the documents you have shared, the deliverables checklist and the designs waiting on your approval. No status-update emails required — open it whenever you want to know where things stand.
