Product Process 🚀

Differential’s product process helps our designers, developers, and strategists produce their best work. And helps us build some pretty great digital products. Here’s a quick breakdown of that process.
Digital Product Journey

Building great digital products is a journey. We'll do it together.

1-2 weeks

Discovery

Our strategists work to define the problem, business opportunity, and target users. We’ll help you cast vision of the digital product that helps you get buy-in.

3-4 weeks

Design Sprint

A step-by-step process for solving big problems, creating new products, or improving existing ones. It compresses months of work into a few weeks, resulting in a high-fidelity interactive prototype that is tested with real users.

12-16 weeks

Version 1

Rapidly build the first version of a new digital product with a dedicated Product Team that includes Product Leadership, Design, Consulting, and Developers.

3-12 month contracts

Product Team

A Dedicated Product Team of Designers and Developers, led by a Product Manager, iterate the product through the Product Roadmap, rapidly unlocking value for your users.

Annual

Maintain & Support

No more new development needed? That’s ok! Differential will continue to support the product, typically through annual contracts. We're there with you.
