Requirements Gathering
WestLink follows design thinking processes when gathering requirements. This involves value stream mapping to engage with users and stakeholders to identify their needs, ideate solutions, and iteratively refine product requirements and designs, while optimizing processes to deliver maximum value efficiently. Open communication, feedback, and validation are key throughout the process to ensure a successful, user-centric product.
Proposal & Contract
Once the requirements are defined, we’ll prepare a proposal outlining the scope of work, timeline, and cost. If both parties agree on the proposal, a contract is signed to formalize the agreement.
Design
The next step is to create designs for the software, including wireframes, mockups, and user interfaces. The client will review and approve these designs before our team moves on to the development phase.
Development
The development phase involves writing the code for the software. We will typically follow an agile or iterative development methodology, with regular check-ins and demos to keep you informed of progress.
Quality Assurance
Once each software release is developed, it is thoroughly tested to ensure it meets requirements and is defect-free. This may involve manual testing, automated testing, and user acceptance testing.
Deployment
Once the software has been tested and approved, it is deployed to the production environment. We provide support during the deployment phase to ensure the software functions properly.
Maintenance & Support
After deployment, your software may require ongoing maintenance and support to address issues and make updates. WestLink can provide software maintenance and support on a continuous or ad hoc basis.

What systems does WestLink use for project management?
WestLink utilizes Jira as our project management tool. Jira allows us to create and manage tasks, track project progress, and prioritize work items using agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban.

We also use Jira to generate reports and visualize project metrics, ensuring transparency and visibility for our clients.
Does WestLink provide ongoing support and maintenance for cloud software applications after implementation?
For software maintenance and updates, WestLink follows a structured approach. We offer maintenance and support services on a retainer basis, which allows us to address any issues that may arise after the project’s completion. When a maintenance request or update is needed, we assess its scope and impact on the existing system. Depending on the complexity and urgency, we allocate resources accordingly and follow our change management process. This involves proper testing, documentation, and ensuring minimal disruption to the live system.
How soon can WestLink start my cloud project?
WestLink can start requirements gathering for your cloud project typically within a week. Once the requirements gathering phase is complete, which normally takes 2-3 weeks, we can begin the development process immediately. We aim to ensure a smooth and timely project kickoff, aligning with your desired timeline and delivering high-quality results.
