Transparency by Default
Clients receive continuous visibility into progress, risks, and blockers. We document decisions, maintain clear communication channels, and provide regular status reporting aligned with client governance requirements.
Delivery Methodology
Clyros Tech applies structured engineering delivery frameworks that prioritize transparency, accountability, and measurable outcomes. Our methodology adapts to client context while maintaining consistent quality and governance standards.
Core Delivery Principles
Engineering Ownership
Engineers take responsibility for work quality, technical decisions, and outcomes. Ownership extends beyond code delivery to include documentation, knowledge transfer, and post-deployment support.
Adaptive Execution
We tailor delivery approach to project context, client maturity, and organizational constraints. Whether Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid, we apply appropriate rigor without dogmatic adherence to methodology labels.
Measurable Progress
Progress is tracked through concrete deliverables, working software, and objective milestones. We avoid vanity metrics and focus on outcomes that matter to client business objectives.
Delivery Phases
Clyros Tech structures engagements into clear phases with defined objectives, deliverables, and decision gates. The specific phase structure adapts to engagement scope and client preferences.
1
Discovery & Planning
Objective: Establish shared understanding of technical requirements, constraints, and success criteria.
Activities:
- Technical architecture assessment and documentation
- Risk identification and mitigation planning
- Resource allocation and team structure definition
- Communication and governance framework establishment
- Technology stack evaluation and tooling decisions
Deliverables: Technical design documents, project plan, RACI matrix, communication plan, risk register
2
Foundation & Setup
Objective: Establish technical foundation, development environment, and delivery infrastructure.
Activities:
- Development environment and tooling configuration
- CI/CD pipeline setup and automation
- Code repository structure and branching strategy
- Security controls and access management implementation
- Testing framework and quality gates establishment
Deliverables: Working development environment, CI/CD pipelines, coding standards documentation, security baseline
3
Iterative Development
Objective: Build and validate functionality through iterative cycles with regular client feedback.
Activities:
- Feature development in prioritized increments
- Continuous testing (unit, integration, performance, security)
- Regular demos and feedback incorporation
- Technical debt management and refactoring
- Documentation maintenance alongside code changes
Deliverables: Working software increments, test reports, updated documentation, sprint retrospectives
4
Stabilization & Hardening
Objective: Achieve production readiness through comprehensive testing, performance optimization, and security validation.
Activities:
- End-to-end and user acceptance testing
- Performance testing and optimization
- Security scanning and vulnerability remediation
- Production deployment planning and rehearsal
- Operational runbook and support documentation preparation
Deliverables: Production-ready code, test reports, deployment plan, operational documentation, rollback procedures
5
Deployment & Knowledge Transfer
Objective: Execute controlled production deployment and enable client team for ongoing operations.
Activities:
- Production deployment execution and validation
- Post-deployment monitoring and issue resolution
- Knowledge transfer sessions with client teams
- Documentation handoff and repository access transition
- Support model establishment for post-deployment period
Deliverables: Production system, operations documentation, trained client team, support handoff plan
6
Hypercare & Closure
Objective: Provide elevated support during initial production period and formally close engagement with lessons learned.
Activities:
- Intensive monitoring and rapid issue response
- Performance tuning based on production load patterns
- Minor bug fixes and configuration adjustments
- Project retrospective and lessons learned documentation
- Formal engagement closure and final deliverable handoff
Deliverables: Stable production system, final documentation updates, lessons learned report, engagement closure confirmation
Governance & Reporting
Status Reporting
- Daily: Standup meetings during agreed timezone overlap windows
- Weekly: Progress reports covering completed work, upcoming work, risks, and blockers
- Sprint/Iteration: Demo sessions and retrospectives for feedback and continuous improvement
- Monthly: Executive summaries for program-level visibility
Decision Management
- Technical decisions documented in architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Scope changes managed through formal change control process
- Risks escalated promptly with proposed mitigation strategies
- Key decisions reviewed at steering committee meetings (for program-level engagements)
Quality Gates
- Code review mandatory before merge to main branches
- Automated testing (unit, integration) must pass before deployment
- Security scanning integrated into CI/CD pipeline
- Performance benchmarks validated before production release
- Documentation completeness verified at phase gates
Risk Management
- Risk register maintained and reviewed weekly
- Proactive identification of technical, schedule, and resource risks
- Mitigation strategies defined and tracked to closure
- Critical risks escalated to executive leadership immediately
Quality & Engineering Standards
Clyros Tech maintains consistent engineering standards across all engagements. Standards are tailored to client context but never compromised on fundamentals.
Code Quality
- Clean, readable code adhering to language-specific conventions
- Meaningful naming, appropriate abstraction, and minimal duplication
- Comprehensive unit test coverage for business logic
- Static code analysis and linting enforced in build pipeline
- Regular refactoring to manage technical debt
Security Practices
- Secure coding practices following OWASP guidelines
- Regular dependency scanning and vulnerability patching
- Secrets management using vault solutions (no hardcoded credentials)
- Security testing integrated into development lifecycle
- Principle of least privilege for system access and permissions
Documentation
- Architecture diagrams and technical design documentation
- API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI for REST APIs)
- Inline code comments for complex logic
- Deployment and operations runbooks
- README files for each repository with setup instructions
Tools & Technology Approach
Clyros Tech is tool-agnostic and adapts to client technology ecosystems. We bring expertise across multiple platforms while accommodating client tool preferences and organizational standards.
Project Management
Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, Monday.com, or client-preferred systems for task tracking, sprint management, and backlog prioritization.
Collaboration
Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Google Meet for communication. Confluence, Notion, SharePoint for documentation and knowledge management.
Code & CI/CD
GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket for version control. Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines for CI/CD automation.
