Maintaining confidentiality with our clients is our utmost priority and we have process in place to ensure that critical information and your ideas are safe and yours. We encourage signing a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before engaging in discussions to maintain confidentiality. We can also consider signing NDAs that our clients may have from their end. 

We ensure that all data and details shared between us and our clients is well protected and all the legalities of our engagement are taken care of. We sign two major documents; a Master Service Agreement (MSA), which is a legal document between the two organizations acting as a proof of work and a Statement Of Work (SoW), which is a legal document for specific projects that are initiated.

 While collaborating with GeekyAnts, the stakeholders that you will work with are hugely influenced by the engagement model chosen for the run of the project. For example, if a Staff Augmentation model is chosen, it's likely that you will be interacting with developers, QA or designers directly based on the requirement. Meanwhile, a project running on a Fixed Cost and Timeline Model will have a team consisting of the tech team and BA spearheaded by a Project Manager. The newly introduced Scrum Model, a globally popular engagement model, generally employs a team consisting of the Scrum Master, Product Owner and the rest of the scrum team.

It is of utmost importance to provide the best client experience for our partners, and to ensure this it is significant to see that the project development is progressing smoothly. To streamline this process, we have an Account Manager whose role it is to overlook that the project is running smoothly, while keeping our partners in loop about the progress and maintaining a strong relationship with them.

We follow a customized development process that ensures the best result at project completion. First, a thorough project requirements analysis is done, and a roadmap is charted out. Development methodologies are then discussed and finalized. After confirmation from all stakeholders, the project begins.

The steps are as follows:

1. Finalization of the wireframe and mockups
2. Breakdown of the requirements into tasks
3. Task estimation of the project
4. Sprint planning by the Business Analyst and Tech Lead
5. Writing and testing of the code
6. Quality analysis of the result
7. Raising pull requests (PR) on GitHub
8. Pull request review and merging
9. Deployment of the app
10. Maintenance of the app (including updates and bug fixes)

At every step of the process, we gather feedback from all stakeholders and ensure that the app aligns with the business requirements. We also ensure that we follow platform-specific guidelines and best practices to ensure that the app meets the standards of the App Store or Play Store, upon release.
