Project Management

Purpose

This document defines the end-to-end project management lifecycle for website and web-app development at Wraptron Apptech LLP. It provides phase-by-phase requirements and procedures to ensure predictable, high-quality deliveries.

Definitions & Glossary

• Deliverable: A tangible output (e.g., sitemap, Figma files, deployed site).
• MVP: Minimum Viable Product — smallest set of features that delivers value.
• SLA: Service Level Agreement for uptime, support response times.
• Change Request (CR): Formal change to scope, timeline, or cost

Acceptance & Pre-Production plan

1. Conduct client UAT on staging; log feedback as tickets with priority.
2. Resolve critical and high-priority items before scheduling production deployment.
3. Prepare deployment runbook and rollback plan.

PHASE 4: Quality Control and Assurance

Quality Assurance

1. Define test cases and test plans (functional, regression, security, performance).
2. Manual QA on supported browsers and devices.
3. Automated testing: unit tests and integration tests.
4. Accessibility testing (WCAG checks, keyboard nav, ARIA roles).
5. QA test reports and bug tracker (with severity & reproduction steps).
6. Test coverage reports.

Acceptance Criteria

1. No critical or high severity open defects.
2. Accessibility issues logged and mitigated to agreed level.

PHASE 5: Deployment

Release

1. Configure domain, HTTPS (Let’s Encrypt/CA), and DNS records.
2. Configure CDN, caching headers and Cloudflare as needed.
3. Set up logging and error tracking (Sentry, LogRocket, etc.).
4. Setup CI/CD pipelines on platforms like Cloudflare or AWS hosting.

Post-Launch Monitoring

1. Ensure uptime, analytics tracking, and error logging.

PHASE 6: Automation & Optimization

TL;DR — Wraptron’s 7-Phase Software Application Development Process

At Wraptron, we follow a structured 7-phase project management lifecycle to ensure smooth, high-quality, and on-time delivery:

• Definition – Understand client goals, scope, audience, and requirements (both functional & technical).

• Planning – Break down tasks, set milestones, gather content, and confirm feasibility.

• Design – Create sitemaps, user journeys, wireframes, UI designs, and content drafts.

• Development – Build frontend & backend, set up databases, integrate APIs, and prepare staging environment.

• Quality Assurance – Test functionality, performance, security, and accessibility.

• Deployment – Launch with proper domain, hosting, HTTPS, and monitoring.

• Maintenance – Handle updates, bug fixes, security patches, and change requests.

This process ensures every Wraptron project is well-planned, user-focused, technically sound, and future-ready.
