How We Do It

We focus on building the right thing, the right way solving the right set of problems with a solution that works for users.

The 1904labs HCDAgile process ensures that the specialized software solutions we design and develop are useful and usable by intensely focusing on users, and designing around their wants and needs at all stages of the development lifecycle.

Human-Centered (HCD) Agile is a framework that designs and develops products and solutions by involving the human perspective in all steps of the process: observing the problem within context, conceptualizing, developing, testing, and implementing the solution.


Our HCDAgile Process

DISCOVERY

Before the first line of code is written, our HCDAgile team takes time — not a lot, but enough to get going — to learn some critical information:

  • What are the goals of the business?
  • Who are the humans affected? employees? customers? partners? What are their wants and needs?
  • What technology will help realize their vision?

A shared vision for the product becomes the North Star that will be followed throughout the project.

DELIVERY

Our HCDAgile teams consist of trained, experienced Agile engineers and human-centered designers who work in tight coordination with one another, and with your product owner, to systematically design and develop the solution. A product roadmap is created and the product backlog is groomed and prioritized. Everything is designed and validated with the ongoing input of users.

TRANSITION

When the project is complete, our HCDAgile team executes an orderly transition of the product design and code. Everything we have learned, designed, and built is handed off to the business stakeholders.
