Concept & planning at CNYT Labs

CodeGedacht. Turn your challenge into a considered plan.

The starting point is your everyday work. CodeGedacht, German for thinking code through, describes how we at CNYT Labs listen, question requirements and work out what software would actually help you.

// An example, step by step

One enquiry. Plenty of open questions.

An example: a customer enquiry arrives by email. Details go into a spreadsheet, documents live in different folders, and the team has to ask who is working on what. Here is how that situation could become a software concept.

Where does time get lost today?

We walk through an enquiry together. Who receives it? Which details are often missing? Where is information entered twice? Understanding the actual workflow gives us a basis for discussing a useful solution.

The starting point

  1. Email The enquiry arrives.
  2. Spreadsheet Details are copied over.
  3. Follow-up Who knows the current status?

What needs to be connected?

We organise the information: enquiry, customer, documents and the person responsible. Together, we clarify who can view or change which data and how the steps depend on each other. A clear structure begins to emerge.

The connections

  1. Enquiry One shared record.
  2. Responsibility Everyone knows who is responsible.
  3. Access Each role sees what it needs.

What could the work feel like?

An initial design makes the idea tangible. In this example, the team sees open enquiries, the next step and related documents in one place. We discuss whether that workflow fits your everyday work.

A possible design

  1. New enquiry Review details
  2. In progress Decide the next step
  3. Documents Find them with the record

What do we build first?

We agree what the first version needs to do and what can follow later. Together, we clarify scope, priorities, open questions and how the system will be operated. This provides a basis for estimating the work and planning development.

The shared plan

  1. First Bring enquiries and responsibilities together.
  2. Later Generate documents automatically.
  3. Before development Agree on scope and operation.

Clarity before development begins.

CodeGedacht creates a shared basis for decisions. Depending on the project, we document requirements, an initial design and the agreed scope. Open questions become visible and the next steps become clear.

A shared goal

Everyone involved understands which problem the software needs to solve.

A practical scope

Essential features and later additions have their place.

A next step

You can decide whether and how development should begin.

Do I need a finished concept?

No. A specific problem, a recurring workflow or an initial idea is enough to start a conversation. Examples from your everyday work help us identify what else we need to know for planning.

Thought through. Ready to be built.

A concept proves its value in everyday use. With CodeGemacht, follow how the plan becomes a usable application, step by step.
