Ronas IT

Where the scope is not defined yet, Ronas IT collects requirements in a paid analysis phase: from $2,000 to $3,000 over one to two weeks. Our analysts work with your team to turn business goals into user stories, user flow maps, and use cases. The phase ends with a project scope document that includes a budget and a timeline estimate. We plan development only after you approve that estimate. A first rough estimate is free and arrives within 24 hours.

Ronas IT ties the project to your business goal before the design stage. At the analytics stage we study that goal, your market, and direct and indirect competitors. We write each feature around the user who needs it and the result it delivers. In presale we use MoSCoW prioritization to fit the scope to your budget, and we revisit the estimate after each phase, so you can drop features that no longer serve the goal. If custom software is not the right answer, we say so.

Most projects at Ronas IT run on Scrumban: work is planned in sprints, and the method fits products whose requirements change during development. Development sprints last two to three weeks, each with a sprint plan agreed at the start and a sprint report at the end. When the scope is fixed up front, we use waterfall instead. Time and materials or fixed price is chosen after the analysis phase, when the scope is known.

On development projects Ronas IT assigns a dedicated project manager as your single point of contact, and you have direct access to the team in the project tracker. Every weekly report states what was completed, what comes next, and where the budget stands: approved, spent, and left. You get a warning at 80% of the approved budget, and we do not go past it without your sign-off on the new scope, so the decision reaches you early rather than in an invoice. You review a working build on staging, not a written summary.

Ronas IT sends a written status update every week. A demo is available at the end of each sprint. Call frequency is set at the beginning of the project: some clients want a weekly video call, others prefer to talk only when a decision is needed. If a date is at risk, we tell you before the deadline, not on it.

Every feature at Ronas IT is checked by someone other than the developer who built it. Automated tests run on every commit: unit and integration tests, Maestro for mobile end-to-end flows, PHPUnit on the backend. A code review comes next, then a team lead review, then a manager review against the approved scope, and then your own review on a staging build. Sentry reports errors in production. On regulated payment and KYC products we can add a dedicated QA engineer.

Ronas IT checks technical risk before development begins: the analysis phase produces a risk register along with a feasibility assessment and an architecture review. A proof of concept is available when the approach is in doubt. Scope change is the risk we plan for most explicitly: each change request is estimated in time and cost before it enters a sprint, and every approved change goes on a written list, so a revised estimate shows what moved it. App Store and Google Play review is outside our control, and we plan one to seven days for it.

Mobile app maintenance at Ronas IT costs from $1,000 per month and covers availability monitoring, bug fixes within a predictable monthly scope, OS and SDK updates, and store releases. Technical support for web products and infrastructure starts at $5,000 per month. New features are quoted separately at $50 per hour. The same project manager and engineers stay with the product. Response times are set in the support agreement. If you move development in-house, we hand over in two to four weeks, with written deployment steps and handover sessions for your team.
