The document describes AGILIX's 5D methodology for strategic partnerships with clients. The 5 phases are: D1 Define, D2 Discover, D3 Design, D4 Develop, and D5 Deploy. In D1, requirements are gathered from subject matter experts. D2 focuses on design options and prototypes. In D3, development begins using a pattern library. D4 consists of sprints to build functionality. D5 involves testing and piloting before full deployment. The methodology aims to keep requirements high-level initially for agility, gather user feedback, and accommodate new needs through iteration.

AGILIX 5D Methodology Client Subject Expert Architecture/UX UI Design Development QA TestingProducer Often a quicker, more agile approach is used to keep initial requirements as high-level guidelines—the upfront time to gather all necessary requirements delays concurrent team tasks. Client and producer coordinate team members to meet with subject matter experts to gather requirements to offer up several options with recommended approach. Fast TrackD1: Define An important step is to also obtain user feedback to validate that defined requirements are inline with their needs. This approach accommodates for more in-depth exploration of requirements in the next phase: 
 D2 or Discover. D1
Client Subject Expert Architecture/UX UI Design Development QA TestingProducer Even though preliminary user interface design can begin in D1, it is in D2 that design options are explored and presented to enhance user experience. The second phase in our process is to establish a sound structural environment to present an appropriate user experience. It is also important to understand data requirements. UX/UI DesignD2: Discover User stories, architectural and flow diagrams, and wireframes are deliverables that help other team members and stakeholders to provide vital input. Rapid prototyping leveraging user interactions is an important step to validate or help refine the best approach to enable user to efficiently complete tasks. AGILIX 5D Methodology D2
Client Subject Expert Architecture/UX UI Design Development QA TestingProducer It is during this phase that the development team ramps up its sprint activities and test cases are constructed from user story acceptance criteria. Successful web application projects leverage the power and control of developing a UI pattern library that is well maintained in style sheets. Client approval is required at this time. Project CrossroadsD3: Design A pattern library establishes the necessary building blocks to create a uniform user experience and modular functionality that is for more efficient to development, troubleshoot and maintain. Subject matter experts, architecture and UX begin to transition into a supporting role during this phase. It is important to be ready to jump in when needed to provide solutions leadership. AGILIX 5D Methodology D3
Client Subject Expert Architecture/UX UI Design Development QA TestingProducer Often user feedback during earlier phases prove to be limited in real- world usability. Individual tasks may have been easily completed, but sometimes further refinement is required to improve UX. The development phase consists of sprints. By doing this greater focus and oversight is maintained over the course of the project life-cycle. Clients are able to view tangible results. Accommodating IterationD4: Develop Within each sprint there itemized user stories that are prioritized, solutions are weighed and decisions are made based on user feedback and speed to market. At times new requirements are introduced based on clarity of client or user needs. These moments of iteration are prioritized and appropriately inserted into sprint cycles. AGILIX 5D Methodology D4
Client Subject Expert Architecture/UX UI Design Development QA TestingProducer Pilot Programs Before LaunchD5: Deploy When introducing new features or a complete redesign of an existing application to customers, it is wise to identify a smaller segment of the user base as a pilot program. Testing functionality, usability and performance are the bedrock of quality and reflects attention to detail. Clients, subject matter experts and producers work with QA specialists to confirm product is built as designed. It is important to control success and develop a proper method of scaling the new UX to all users. This provides necessary roadmap to customer satisfaction. AGILIX 5D Methodology D5
