Hi M***a,
Sure,here’s a high-level example of how a pilot budget might shape up (assuming a $20K pilot, which sits in the middle of our 15,25% range for a ~$100K total project):
1. UX & Prototype (30% / $6K)
- Discovery workshop & user flows
- Low-fidelity wireframes & clickable prototype
2. Core Development (35% / $7K)
- MVP feature build (e.g. basic app/web modules)
- Initial backend/integration setup
3. Analytics & Reporting (15% / $3K)
- Instrumentation (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
- Dashboard setup & KPI definition
4. QA & Testing (10% / $2K)
- Functional, device/emulator testing
- Bug triage & fixes
5. Project Management & Contingency (10% / $2K)
- Sprint planning, status calls, buffer for scope tweaks
Flexibility within 15,25%:
• If you need deeper user research, we’d shift part of the dev budget into UX (e.g. 40% UX / 25% Dev).
• If you want to test push notifications or geofencing, we’d reallocate from analytics into a small integration line item.
• We always leave 5,10% of the pilot for emergent client requests or unexpected technical hurdles.
Pod Collaboration & Rhythm
• Daily Stand-up (15 min): each morning, quick sync in Slack or T***s to surface blockers and priorities.
• Sprint Cadence (2-week sprints):
, Sprint Planning (1 hr): define next sprint’s scope with PM, you, devs, designers, analysts
, Mid-sprint Check (30 min): informal touchpoint to recalibrate if anything drifts
, Sprint Review & Demo (1 hr): present working prototype to you/stakeholders
, Retrospective (45 min): team reflects on wins, challenges, and improvements
• Core Tools:
, Jira or Asana for task tracking
, Confluence or Google Drive for documentation
, Figma for design collaboration & feedback
, Slack for real-time chats, client channel, plus Zoom/Meet for weekly calls
• Ad-Hoc Collaboration:
, Dedicated Slack channel for instant Q&A
, Shared calendar invites for client demos
, Quick “pair sessions” on critical features (screen-share + voice)
Next Steps
If this aligns with what you had in mind, I’m happy to pull together a more tailored budget sample or set up a brief call with our VP of Digital Solutions and PM to walk through real examples. Let me know your preference!
Best,
J***e
