We are often approached by non-technical founders looking for a development team to create their idea. We also encounter businesses experiencing limitations in their current workflow, and looking for a solution.

**Whatever your case may be, let our experience guide your project to success.**

1. We'll 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. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. 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/ruby-on-rails/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 project. [Contact us today!](https://velocitylabs.io/#contact)
