Sequifi Delivery Framework

Two-Week Sprint Cycles with Integrated Support Operations

Framework Overview

This framework establishes the complete workflow from idea inception through production release and ongoing support, with clear handoffs between Business, Product, UX/UI, Development, and Support teams.

Key Principles: Stability through structured releases, predictability with scheduled sprints, quality via comprehensive QA, and fast response for critical production issues.
