Build What Matters

We believe in backing new ideas and opportunities which, in combination with great product design, technology and team, will change our collective future for the better.

How we work.

At 20fifty, we are passionate about building self-sustaining services and products that balance commercial and customer needs; can be built with the resources and technology at our disposal; and which have the ability to change our collective future for the better.

How we work

Build what matters.

When it comes to creating digital solutions, it is easy to get overly immersed in either the technology, the user needs, the business imperatives or all of the above. Using a framework to guide how we solve for a problem and build a scalable solution, allows us to #BuildWhatMatters.

20fifty Process

Service Design Process

In collaboration with our clients, we navigate the complete journey of bringing solutions to life. Starting with research, idea generation, and the definition of a clear value proposition, we validate a solution through rapid prototyping and user testing.

DEFINE

01

Explore & Ideate

Conduct research to develop an understanding of the various users as well as the business and user needs.

DEFINE

02

Synthesis & Ideate

Combine all of the research and observe where the users’ problems arise. Engage in divergent thinking sessions to generate a range of ideas to solve the defined problem.

DEFINE

03

Design

Define the solution by transforming the ideas into tangible customer proposi-tions. Create prototypes of the solution to be placed in users hands for validation.

TEST

04

Prove

Validate the solution with users while continuously enhancing the test cases to confirm or debunk assumptions, and fine-tune the customers value proposition.

REFINE

05

Refine

Create a final blueprint for what the solution should comprise of, including feature prioritisation and recommendations for the way forward. #BuildWhatMatters

Product Design & Development Process

When a solid foundation for a validated product/solution has been established, features are prioritised, developed and enhanced ensuring the seamless development from concept to production.
DESIGN

01

Analyse

Gather the business requirements, evaluate the feasibility of the product, and define the high level product requirements.
DESIGN

02

Solutioneer

Brainstorm and draw on experience to define how the problem will be solved.

 

  • Feature requirements
  • User stories
  • Wireframes
  • UI design
  • QC acceptance criteria
DESIGN

03

Plan

Prioritise features and build out the product backlog. Define the technical specifications for the solution/product.

BUILD

04

Develop

During the development phase, our team brings the solution architecture and UI to life.
BUILD

05

Test

Features are continuously deployed to the development environment to enable internal testing and feedback. Once approved, features are shared with the client for review and final acceptance.
BUILD

06

Deploy

Release features to production where they are available for end users.
SUPPORT

07

Post Launch

If required, maintenance and support of the product post-release. Alternatively a full handover.

Benefits of being process driven.

Our approach undoubtedly means there are many factors to consider, however in our experience, having more parameters to work with guides team work more effectively and leads to more innovative solutioneering and better products and services.

Process provide structure, predictability, and transparency around how work gets done.

Clear alignment on responsibilities and handoffs at each development stage, from service design to production deploys, minimises waste and rework.

Better planning and estimation of timelines and costs, plus they provide a framework for prioritising tasks effectively based on project needs.

Create opportunities for continuous feedback and incremental improvements over time.

An idea is only as good as
the execution.
Digital innovation is needed now more than ever. Choosing the right problem to solve and the right partners to do it with is the first step towards success.
