Building Software Fast Without Sacrificing Quality
At 7Factor, people are often surprised by how fast we move and even more surprised when they realize we’re not cutting corners to do it.
Here’s the truth: speed isn’t something we chase. It’s something that happens because of the way we work.
Our process is built on trust, deep collaboration, and a strong understanding of each client’s business. And when quality is built in, velocity becomes the natural result.
Collaboration That Actually Moves the Needle
Speed starts with clear, continuous communication. We make it easy for developers to share context, surface blockers, and balance ideas across the team. That means fewer delays, fewer misunderstandings, and a lot less time wasted in rework.
We make it easy for developers (ours and yours) to stay aligned, surface blockers early, and collaborate freely. Our default? Open Slack channels with the full delivery team, so context flows both ways and nobody is stuck in the dark. Everyone has visibility, everyone stays aligned, and decisions get made faster.
Weekly touchpoints keep stakeholders with a bird’s-eye view engaged, so we can make fast, informed decisions without backtracking. And when someone on the team has a better idea or a faster way? It gets shared instantly. That’s the power of real collaboration.
We use a Kanban-style delivery so clients see working results early and often. Fast feedback loops ensure problems don’t sit around waiting; they get addressed right away.
Testing That Prevents Roadblocks
We don’t wait until QA to catch bugs. Testing is embedded throughout our process. When engineers test their own work before it hits QA, it prevents endless back-and-forth and reduces context-switching for everyone.
The result? Fewer blockers. Less time spent fixing. More time spent building.
Automation multiplies those benefits. From deployment to regression testing, we rely on tools to do the repetitive work, giving engineers more time to solve high-value problems. We let systems handle the repetitive stuff so our engineers can focus on solving real problems.
Process That Clears the Path
Speed disappears when priorities shift constantly or expectations aren’t aligned. That’s why our process starts with understanding your business from the very beginning, our discovery phase to delivery, where you’re going, what matters most, and how tech can support that vision.
Every client is different. Our job is to help them tune the right levers: deadline, scope, staffing. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all delivery model. We help clients tune the right levers, and we’re honest about tradeoffs. We have open conversations about what’s urgent, what’s flexible, and what can wait.
We also reject the idea that more people = faster delivery. Instead of piling on experts, we focus on streamlining the process, automating where it makes sense, and building with intention.
Culture That Doesn’t Compromise
Speed at 7Factor isn’t forced. It’s a byproduct of our engineering culture.
We expect clean, maintainable code. We build systems with longevity in mind. We care about why something is being built, not just how.
And we don’t compromise. Our engineers are hired not just for their technical skills, but for how they think, communicate, and uphold high standards.
When quality is the foundation, speed becomes sustainable.
Where Clean Code Meets Quick Delivery
If you need to ship something fast without sacrificing quality, we’re your people. At 7Factor, we don’t trade speed for quality. We build with both, by design.
