A project management tool should be run like a project
Here is how FluidOps goes from a real problem to a feature that is live: six steps, a written trace each time, no surprises.
- 1
Listen to the problem
What we doEvery feature starts from a lived situation: a deadline that slips, a wrong estimate, a team that no longer knows who does what.
What you gainNo features added just for the sake of adding features.
- 2
Frame it
What we doThe need becomes a numbered requirement, tied to a goal, with a clear criterion for when it is done.
What you gainA clear scope, so fewer detours.
- 3
Design it
What we doWe draw the simplest screen that solves the problem, with the brand’s visual system and accessibility in mind.
What you gainScreens you understand in a few seconds.
- 4
Build in iterations
What we doShort cycles: a prioritized backlog, one goal per cycle, a definition of “done” and an honest retrospective, in the spirit of the agile guidelines of ISO/IEC 29110-5-4.
What you gainSteady improvements rather than one big bang.
- 5
Verify
What we doEvery requirement is linked to test cases. Security, accessibility and data protection audits, then a re-audit to confirm the fixes.
What you gainWhat is announced works, and what is fixed stays fixed.
- 6
Ship and improve
What we doEvery change is logged with its reason. User feedback feeds the next cycle.
What you gainA product that evolves while staying readable.
Written down, not just promised
Traced requirements
From need to test: each requirement has an identifier and its test cases.
50+ test cases
Described step by step, replayable before every release.
Audits and re-audits
Security, accessibility, data protection: findings, fixes, checks.
Dependencies inventoried
The list of libraries used and their licenses (SBOM) is kept up to date.
Built in from the start
- No audience measurement before you consent.
- Self-hosted font: no calls to Google Fonts.
- Data access controlled row by row, on every table.
- A strict content security policy against script injection.
What this process is not
Our documentation follows the structure of ISO/IEC 29110 (basic profile for very small entities). It is not a certification: we will only speak of compliance after an assessment by an accredited body. It is our way of working, and it is written down.
