Five parts that walk through the full lifecycle of modern software delivery, from understanding the shifting industry landscape to supporting products long after launch.
The Landscape
Why the software industry is shifting. Explores the forces driving change in how companies build technology — from rising expectations around speed and cost, to the emergence of AI-native toolchains that are rewriting the rules of delivery.
The Framework
Our discovery methodology in detail. Covers the structured process Benmore uses to understand a problem before writing a single line of code — stakeholder interviews, user research, competitive analysis, and requirements crystallization.
AI-Driven Development
Trends and the phased process for integrating AI into the development lifecycle. How AI-assisted coding, automated testing, and intelligent project management compress timelines without sacrificing quality.
The Forward Deployed Engineer
The FDE role and workflow. What it means to embed engineers directly with a client team — the communication cadence, the decision-making framework, and why proximity to the business problem produces better software.
Supporting the Ship
Post-delivery support and continuous improvement. Covers maintenance strategies, monitoring, iterative enhancement, and how to keep software healthy as the business evolves after launch day.
