Research and planning are then conducted to understand the market and competition. The project scope, timeline, and deliverables are outlined in a project charter, and the client’s approval is secured. Contracts and agreements are finalized, and the technology stack (including hosting platforms and integrations) is chosen to ensure a smooth development process.
