Everyday Delivery

The Everyday Delivery Phase is the third and final phase in the no-code project delivery lifecycle, as outlined in the No-Code Playbook. This phase focuses on the continuous improvement and management of the no-code application after its initial release. The main objective of this phase is to ensure that the application evolves over time by incorporating user feedback, making incremental improvements, and maintaining alignment with business objectives. The phase also emphasizes regular audits to ensure the application remains secure, compliant, and scalable.

The key objectives of the Everyday Delivery Phase include:

• Ongoing Feedback: Continuously collecting feedback from users to identify areas for improvement, new feature requests, or any issues that need to be addressed.

• Incremental Enhancements: Implementing small, regular updates to improve the application's functionality, user experience, and performance.

• Operational Excellence: Ensuring that the application runs smoothly day-to-day, with minimal downtime or disruption, and meeting evolving business needs.

• Governance and Maintenance: Regularly auditing the application to ensure it complies with governance policies, security protocols, and performance standards.

The Everyday Delivery Phase consists of four important stages that ensure the application stays current, valuable, and compliant as it evolves:

• Stage 9 - Feedback Collection: After the application is released, continuous feedback is gathered from users to identify potential areas for improvement. This feedback may include suggestions for new features, bug reports, or enhancements to existing functionality. Collecting this information ensures that the application remains relevant and useful to its users.

• Stage 10 - Incremental Improvements: Based on the feedback received, the no-code team implements small, manageable changes to the application. These updates could involve fixing bugs, adding new features, or improving performance. The goal is to make regular updates that enhance the application's value without causing major disruptions.

• Stage 11 - Everyday Delivery: This stage is all about delivering ongoing releases of functionality as soon as they are ready for deployment to end users. Unlike traditional waterfall or Scrum methodologies, the use of the Kanban Method promotes release when ready. Properly defining and scoping enhancements into small, granular updates will help with both dependency management and conflict resolution.

• Stage 12 - Application Audit: Periodic audits are conducted to ensure that the application continues to meet security, compliance, and governance standards. These audits help identify any potential risks or gaps in the application’s functionality or compliance with organizational policies. The audit ensures that the application remains sustainable and ready to scale as business needs evolve.

The Everyday Delivery Phase is critical for maintaining the long-term value of a no-code application. This phase ensures that the application adapts to changing business needs and user demands while remaining secure and compliant. By regularly collecting feedback, making incremental updates, and conducting audits, the team can ensure the application continues to deliver value over time. This phase also helps ensure that any potential issues are identified and addressed early, preventing disruptions to business operations.

Once the Everyday Delivery Phase is in motion, it creates a sustainable cycle of continuous improvement, keeping the no-code solution aligned with business goals and evolving user requirements.
