A structured, step-by-step framework we use to design Airtable systems that are aligned, scalable, and built to last
The unique R.E.S.O.L.V.E. Development Model guides every project we undertake. This systematic approach ensures nothing gets overlooked and that each solution is long-lasting.
By mapping out workflows and processes using Lucid Chart, we've saved our clients countless hours of work while following our KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Development Waterfall methodology.
The first phase involves understanding your requirements and gathering all necessary information. We define clear objectives, identify key stakeholders, and clarify the project scope. This foundational step ensures that our team fully comprehends what we must accomplish before moving forward.
We map out your entire process to understand workflows and interactions, determining process boundaries and dependencies. This visual representation allows both our team and yours to see exactly how the business process will function, fostering alignment before technical implementation begins.
Our team creates an abstract data model to represent the data structure, ensuring logical relationships are in place to meet project requirements. This UML-based logical model serves as the blueprint for your solution, defining how information will flow through the system.
Based on the logical model, we define tables and fields with careful consideration of database performance, indexing, and normalization. This phase transforms conceptual ideas into concrete database structures that will power your Airtable solution.
We design intuitive user interfaces and input forms with a focus on usability, accessibility, and data validation. Our first milestone delivers a wireframe based on your requirements, giving you a clear preview of how users will interact with the system.

Finally, we implement, test, and deploy your solution. Implementation includes comprehensive user training, performance monitoring, and preparation for ongoing maintenance. Our support doesn't end at launch. The Optimize IS team remains your partner as your business evolves.
