Kentico Advantage

Leverage the collective experience of Kentico solution architects to successfully navigate the process of building a Kentico project using best practices and avoiding pitfalls through every stage of your project.

Get Started

Project Phases

We identified six primary phases for Kentico projects. If you follow a waterfall like development approach you'll apply each section in a linear fashion over the course of the project. Alternatively, if you follow an agile approach, you'll do this as of each sprint.

Regardless of the approach you take, each phase covers the key concepts and best practices you need to know, presents real-world scenarios to help with application, and provides additional resources related to the section.

Gathering

When you start a new project or begin a new sprint, you define the scope of the effort and determine the limitations you need to work with. We wrote this section to provide insight into the types of questions that are especially relevant to Kentico projects. If you gather accurate and detailed answers, you will equip your team with the tools they need to create better estimates of the project size, cost, and timeline.

Planning

With the knowledge you gathered in the first phase you are ready to start turning that into an actionable plan. We wrote this section to guide you through the process of making that plan. A solid architecture prepares you for success in development and beyond.

Developing

When you have the project requirements and a solid architecture plan in place, you can start development. This section helps you get your development started smoothly by helping you avoid future problems and costly re-work by getting your development team on the same page.

Testing

In this project phase, it is important to check the system as a whole to make sure everything works as intended. Verification of individual development tasks should be already part of the developing phase.

Deploying

Deployment is one of the most crucial steps in a project's lifecycle. You will deploy continuously throughout the life of a project. Most think about deployment in terms of production, but it also includes local, integration, staging, and testing environments. This section provides an overview of the process of deploying your solution from one environment to another and includes the basic approaches, available tools, and steps to deploy.

Maintaining

In this project phase, your web site is live and visitors are generating data (e.g., form submissions, web analytics, etc.), editors are producing new content, and you are enhancing the website's features. These are important activities and you need to monitor the website's environment, application, and data in order to maintain peak performance and stay ahead of issues.
