The Makibie Process

At Makibie, we help grow raw eBusiness ideas into great applications—websites, software products, and rich internet applications (RIAs)—by using our proven five-step method for success. Each step maps to a specific quality checkpoint (QC) that helps companies explore, manage, and nurture business ideas through inception to deployment and beyond. Our five QCs:

• QC1 – An Idea Is Born. We help you lay the groundwork to ensure your idea grows according to your vision.
• QC2 – Drafting the Idea. We help you create personas of the people who’ll interact with your idea online, and help you develop the blueprints to turn your idea into something real.
• QC3 – Validating Your Idea. Through a series of iterative development steps, we help you transform your blueprints into a workable, testable proof of concept or prototype that expresses your vision.
• QC4 – Building Your Idea and Setting It Free. Based on feedback from actual users, we’ll use another series of iterative development steps to transform your proof of concept or prototype into the first releasable version of your idea.
• QC5 – Measuring Your Idea’s Impact. We’ll help you use metrics to measure your idea’s impact on the marketplace, and then we’ll set the stage for future improvements.
