Strategy Workshop
We clarify business goals, target groups and the strategic role of the planned software.
Result
Creates clarity about the target picture and business case
L-One STRATEGY-TO-DELIVERY FRAMEWORK
Investment certainty for your custom software
Custom software must not be an incalculable cost risk. Our structured approach creates the clarity needed for binding fixed prices and predictable added value. A hard-to-estimate software project becomes a solid business case.
Custom software needs investment certainty
Custom software can automate processes, cut costs and enable new business models. For many companies the investment decision is still difficult: at the start it is often not possible to reliably estimate what it will cost and when it will pay off.
In time-and-materials billing, the customer carries a large part of this cost risk. If the development effort increases, so do the project costs. The development service provider has no tangible incentives for a quick project end.
L-One takes a different approach. We first create the clarity needed for a binding scope and cost decision. We then implement clearly delimited development sections at an agreed fixed price.
Make costs plannable
The investment for a defined development section is set bindingly before it starts.
Assess the business case
Benefit, investment and expected amortisation can be compared reliably.
Step-by-step approach
Further investment is decided based on concrete results already delivered.
How uncertainty turns into a binding fixed price
Without a structured approach, fixed prices are based on optimistic estimates with risk buffers. At L-One, fixed prices only arise after sufficient clarity has been established regarding the goal, solution, scope of services, and expected outcome.
01
Create clarity
Open business, technical and economic questions are clarified to the depth the project requires.
02
Delimit the scope
The next project or development section receives a clear goal, a defined scope and an agreed result.
03
Fix the cost
A binding fixed price is agreed for the defined scope. The cost ceiling is set before implementation begins.
Agreed fixed prices apply to the clearly described scope. Changes and extensions are transparently assessed and agreed separately before they are implemented.
STRATEGY-TO-DELIVERY FRAMEWORK
A phase for every project stage
Our framework is not a rigid process. Each phase reduces specific uncertainties and creates a clear result. We only work on the steps actually needed for a reliable investment decision and implementation.
Orientation and validation
Exploration
We examine critical technical assumptions, interfaces and possible solution paths.
Result
Reduces the technical feasibility risk
Planning
Scoping
We structure scope, priorities and an economically sensible project cut.
Result
Creates clarity about scope and investment frame
Detail analysis
We concretise requirements and solution for a delimited development section.
Result
Creates the basis for scope and fixed price
Implementation
Development
We implement the agreed scope technically, test it and document the result.
Result
Delivers a working software state at the agreed price
Delivery and Acceptance
The agreed result is provided, reviewed and handed over in a structured way.
Result
Creates clarity about the delivered scope
Go-live and operations
Go-live
We move the software into productive use in a controlled way and support the transition.
Result
Reduces introduction and operations risk
Operations
Hosting, maintenance, support and evolution are organised to match actual demand.
Result
Security and reliability in operations
ENTRY POINTS
Where does your project stand today?
Not every project needs to go through every phase of our framework. We check which foundations are already in place and which next step is needed to plan scope, cost and result reliably.
You have an idea or a goal, but no clear software concept yet?
Strategy Workshop
The functional idea is set, but technical feasibility or the solution path is still unclear?
Exploration
Goal and solution direction are clear, but scope, priorities and investment frame are not yet solid?
Scoping
The planned scope is set, but needs to be detailed for a binding fixed-price quote?
Detail analysis
Requirements and solution are so detailed that implementation can start directly?
Development
Your project was already started or prepared by another provider?
Ongoing project
Not sure where your project stands? We assess the current state together with you. Discuss project status
From software project to a calculable business case
An investment in custom software is only responsible when the expected benefit and the required capital can be compared reliably.
A binding fixed price is a key basis for this. The investment amount is set before a defined development section begins. Budgets, financing and expected amortisation can therefore be planned with more confidence.
- The cost of the agreed scope is set before it starts.
- Budget and financing can be planned reliably.
- Benefit, investment and amortisation time can be compared.
- Further development sections are decided based on results already achieved.
Every project section ends with a usable result and a conscious investment decision about the next step.
Frequently asked questions about our approach
A reliable fixed price requires that goal, scope and the key business and technical constraints of the respective development section are sufficiently clarified. Our framework creates this clarity step by step.
No. We take existing concepts, requirements, designs and technical preparatory work into account. The project starts with the phase that is actually the next required step.
Yes. We can review existing documents, requirements, designs and software states and then recommend at which point our approach sensibly starts.
Exploration mainly looks at open technical questions. Scoping defines a sensible and prioritised project scope. Detail analysis concretises a delimited development section for binding implementation.
That depends on the maturity of the project and the quality of the available foundations. If scope and solution are already sufficiently concrete, a direct fixed-price assessment can happen. Otherwise we recommend starting with the necessary preceding phase.
Nevertheless, we are happy to give you empirical values from comparable projects that we have implemented in our initial consultation.
The fixed price applies to the agreed scope. Changes or extensions are transparently assessed and only implemented after an additional agreement.
Make your software investment calculable
We assess together where your project stands today, which foundations are in place and which next step makes sense for a reliable cost and investment decision.
