How we run a big project at All Trouser Digital

How We Run a Project

Large projects need structure without rigidity. We use an agile, sprint-based approach so you always know what's happening, what's next, and where your budget is going, with the flexibility to change direction when it makes sense.

Get in touch
Phase 01 - 1-2 weeks

Discovery & Scoping

We sit down with you to understand the problem, the users, and what success looks like. By the end of this phase you have a clear project brief, a prioritised backlog, and a realistic roadmap.

  • Project brief & goals
  • User stories & prioritised backlog
  • Technical architecture outline
  • Milestone roadmap with estimates
Phase 02 - 1-3 weeks

Design Sprint

We design key screens and user flows so you can see and feel the product before a line of code is written. Feedback is baked in. Nothing moves to build until you are happy.

  • Wireframes & user flows
  • High-fidelity UI designs
  • Interactive prototype for review
  • Design sign-off
Phase 03 - 2-week cycles

Iterative Build Sprints

This is where the agile approach really kicks in. We build in short two-week sprints, each ending with a working demo you can click through. Priorities can shift between sprints. No change-request paperwork, just a conversation.

  • Working software each sprint
  • Sprint demo & review session
  • Updated backlog & priorities
  • Continuous testing & QA
Phase 04 - 1-2 weeks

Testing & Refinement

Before anything goes live we run a full round of cross-browser testing, performance audits, and accessibility checks. We squash bugs and polish the details so launch day is smooth.

  • Cross-browser & device testing
  • Performance & accessibility audit
  • Bug fixes & polish
  • Client acceptance testing
Phase 05 - 1 week

Launch & Handover

We deploy to production, walk you through everything, and make sure you are confident managing day-to-day. If you would rather we handle updates, our care plans have you covered.

  • Production deployment
  • Training & documentation
  • Post-launch monitoring
  • Ongoing support options

Why We Use Agile

Traditional “waterfall” projects lock everything in up front: scope, timeline, budget. Then hope nothing changes. It always does. Agile accepts that reality and turns it into a strength. Instead of one long build with a reveal at the end, you get working software every two weeks and the freedom to steer as you learn.

Working software over documentation

You see real, working features every two weeks, not slide decks.

Responding to change over following a plan

Priorities shift? No problem. We re-order the backlog and keep moving.

Collaboration over contracts

You are part of the team, not a stakeholder waiting for a status report.

Continuous delivery over big-bang launches

Smaller, more frequent releases reduce risk and get value to users faster.

What This Means for You

You are never more than two weeks away from seeing progress. If priorities shift, a new feature becomes urgent, or user feedback changes direction, we adapt the backlog in the next sprint planning session. No change-request forms, no renegotiation, just a conversation about what matters most right now.

This approach keeps projects on track, on budget, and most importantly, focused on delivering real value rather than ticking boxes on a spec written months ago.

Platform
They built us a registration platform that cut our admin time in half. The learning system just works now. Our team can focus on training instead of paperwork.

They took my business from invisible to online in weeks. A website, professional email, and social presence that actually brings in enquiries.

Our old site was embarrassing. They rebuilt it into something our members actually use. Fixtures, results, and registrations all in one place.
