INFRASTRUCTURE

THE MAGENTO ECOSYSTEM
DAY TO DAY ISSUES
Clients don't have a thorough scope. “We’re in a rush!”
Clients want all of the default functionality out of the box. ALL OF IT!
“Let’s copy our competitors” or an international website in the same vertical with no idea whether the feature adds value to the business.
Launching too many new initiatives in the first phase. Too many unknowns – Loyalty Programme, Customer Groups, Gift Registry, Gift Cards, Store Credits.
OUR APPROACH
• Break the project into smaller low-risk
projects/phases/iterations.
• Each phase is a self-contained mini-project composed
of activities such as requirements, design,
programming and testing.
• Prioritise Functionality to achieve rapid ROI
OUR APPROACH
Focus on features that impact the bottom line
