Lean Software Product Development in 4 Phases — Scio

When you develop software products in a repeatable, production fashion, you have to step back occasionally and take the long view so you can properly discuss the process with clients. We’ve been involved in that exercise recently and I thought it might be useful to share the what and why of our approach to software product development for online products.

It is therefore important that the answer given to the question is clear and accurate.
