Productive in 4 weeks.
Others consult for 4 weeks. We deliver in 4 weeks. After week 4, a system exists that real users work with.
Four weeks is not a lot of time. But it's enough to build a system that works. Not perfect, but productive.
Our standard: After 4 weeks, there are real users on a real platform. No prototype, no demo system. Production.
The four weeks in detail.
Foundation: Infrastructure and first pipeline.
AWS accounts, CI/CD pipeline, infrastructure as code. By the end of the week, the platform is deployable and every change is testable.
Core: Architecture and first features.
The core architecture is in place. First features are implemented and deployed. The client sees daily progress in the system, not in slides.
Hardening: Security, monitoring, resilience.
The system becomes production-ready. Security reviews, monitoring, alerting, load testing. Everything a system needs to hold up under real conditions.
Launch: Real users on a real system.
Go-live with real users. Not as a big-bang release, but as a controlled rollout. When problems arise, we solve them immediately.
4 weeks. No concept.
A system in production.
Why this works for enterprise projects.
Enterprise doesn't automatically mean slow. Enterprise means: More stakeholders, stricter compliance, higher requirements for security and scaling. All solvable in 4 weeks, if you know how.
For SiemensGPT, we built a platform for 120,000 users. The case study shows how this works in practice.
Honest limitation.
4 weeks is not enough for everything.
What we don't promise in 4 weeks:
- A complete feature set. We prioritize and deliver the most important things first.
- Perfect performance. That comes through iteration, not through planning.
- Zero bugs. But a system with monitoring that makes problems immediately visible.
- The final architecture. Architecture is a hypothesis that must prove itself in production.
What we do promise: A system that works and that you can make better every day.
Why 4 weeks is the right timeframe.
Force focus
4 weeks leave no room for feature creep. You have to prioritize,
and that's a good thing.
Build trust
After 4 weeks, the client knows whether we can deliver. Not through promises, but through results.
Reduce risk
If nothing productive exists after 4 weeks, the investment was limited. If it does, you have a system.
