We often encounter clients who have already begun, or finished, developing their inital application. Some have a completed project that needs additional functionality to better service their customers. Some are partially complete and in need of assistance in order to launch to production.

**Whatever your case may be, we can help.**

1. We'll want to schedule an initial phone meeting with you to discuss your project and expectations. Read more about [what to expect in our initial meeting](https://velocitylabs.io/blog/2018/04/23/what-to-expect-in-our-initial-meeting).
2. You have an existing project that's been touched by one or more developers, over time. We'll want to [review the existing code](https://velocitylabs.io/blog/2018/04/30/why-do-i-need-a-code-review) to help us understand where you are currently.
3. In order to accurately estimate the amount of work required, we [conduct a story workshop](https://velocitylabs.io/blog/2009/12/16/gathering-requirements-through-story-workshops). In this workshop, we'll gather the high-level requirements of your project. We will then use those requirements to provide a proposal and estimate.
4. Once we've agreed on the scope of the project and the budget, we'll get started. Find out [what a typical first week of development looks like](https://velocitylabs.io/blog/2018/05/07/what-is-a-typical-first-week-like).
5. Each day, you'll see progress on your project. We believe that [transparency and communication are the keys to a successful project](https://velocitylabs.io/blog/2018/05/14/what-makes-a-successful-software-project). We won't be working in a vacuum and you'll typically hear from us every day.
6. As the project begins to wind down, you may want to enter a maintenance phase. We also offer continued monitoring and small changes through our [maintenance package](https://velocitylabs.io/maintenance/).

Whether you’re in need of a new team, or just need to supplement your existing team, we have the experience to take on your existing project. [Contact us today!](https://velocitylabs.io/#contact)
