Common questions
Before we start.
Are you based in Australia?+
No. Five Star Growth is based in Christchurch, New Zealand and serves Australian clients remotely. We state that clearly so there is no confusion about location or delivery.
How do remote software projects run?+
We use structured discovery sessions, prototypes, written decisions, regular demonstrations and staged releases. The cadence is agreed around your team and the project risk.
Can you work with an Australian internal team?+
Yes. We can own a defined product stream or work alongside your existing product, operations and technical people with clear responsibilities and hand-offs.
