Experience Counts — Especially When Building Composable Storefronts

Is a four-week phase. We connect our SFCC accelerator to see what works out of the box and identify the quantity and difficulty of back-end work required. By the end of Sprint Ø you will normally have an end-to-end functional PWA. We design and architect the complete CMS with your merchants. We break the project down into component-based user stories working closely with your team to enter Scopotype phase with a clear view of the road ahead.

Is an eight-week phase in which 64labs completes about 70% of the work of the project. The pace is driven by 64labs and occurs in four 2-week sprints with full QA, demonstrations of completed work and releases every sprint. Our aim during this phase is to build out all the critical foundational work, implement and migrate a complete CMS, and arrive at the Build to Launch phase with a clear, scope of what remains to be done and who will do it.

Is a variable length phase (between 4 and 12 weeks) where 64labs finishes the project while transferring knowledge and responsibility more towards an internal team or existing partner. The core work of the site is complete but some key tasks remain. Internal developers can be effective during this phase and can gain experience in the codebase, taking ownership of the project. At the end of BTL, the project should be complete and ready for UAT.

Launch is a four-week phase that can take place immediately after BTL or some weeks later. This phase is designed to take advantage of 64labs's extensive experience launching composable sites and anticipating the specific challenges of a Go Live. Launch phase can include a partial launch, a split launch or regional launch. Launch phase starts two weeks prior to intended Go Live and continues for two weeks afterwards.

Momentum is exactly what it sounds like. All of us have experienced that deflation at the end of a project when everyone disappears to the next big thing. But the battle to be a composable ecommerce powerhouse does not end at launch: it begins. This is where 64labs can help. A Momentum engagement allows your team to draw up a six-month roadmap of improvements to the site and have a lightweight 64labs team of 2-4 people lead and deliver that work.

Sometimes you just need to buy some time to recruit for your internal team. Sometimes your incumbent partner needs time to find real composable experts that can help you. Whatever the reason, 64labs is happy to provide trained project-hardened engineers to clients after projects even where there is not the roadmap in place to commission a Momentum phase. When you just need experienced help keeping the ship afloat in composable, 64labs is there for you.
