The world of software development can be daunting. Our process is designed to make it
simple and understandable for everyone.
We approach our projects with a pragmatic, methodical process starting from ideation all the way through to design, development and support. We value transparency and having a shared vision with our clients which ensures a smooth, stress free project.
How Do We Develop Exceptional Custom Software Projects?
We take your ideas from discovery to launch through a collaborative and agile process.
Using clear communication, ongoing support and scalable cloud solutions, we create software that grows with your business.
Project Discovery, Requirements Gathering, User Stories, Design Examples & Data Models
Our project managers, business analysts and software architects will sit down with you during a workshop to understand the project requirements in detail, discuss your ideas, business case and more to grasp the project overall. We’ll educate you on our software stack, project management approach, design process, next steps and more so that you’re fully aware of what to expect through the project duration and post-launch.
Then, we provide you with a list of user stories to support our AGILE development approach, data models to facilitate database design, UI examples to set a fundamental vision, as well as a project proposal which includes timeline and costs estimates.
Backlog Development, Milestone Grouping, UI/UX Design
As a leading software development company Sydney, We now group the project user stories into milestones which are logical releases that allow for proper testing and UAT functionality. We create an AGILE backlog inside of Azure DevOps, invite key stakeholders so that they can review project development progress and answer questions then we iterate through until completion. We hold key meetings for UI/UX walkthroughs, UAT demos, feedback discussions and more to ensure clear, effective communication.
We continue to iterate through our backlog to complete the entire project following this iterative process. This also allows for any additional work to be added in without too much disruption to the overall development of the application. We work on a fortnightly sprint cycle.
UAT Release & Iteration
We release our development as often as possible to a User Acceptance Testing (UAT) cloud environment to allow our clients to test their software. While we try to release at the end of every sprint, in most cases we release on a milestone basis which allows you to test the software in a more logical flow which might not be achievable within 10 working days. You provide feedback on the UAT, which mimics production which we add into the next sprint and which will be available for a re-review during the next release, which is scheduled prior to the finalisation of the next milestone.
Launch, Support, Enhancements
We plan a time to launch the software and set up cloud production environments. Once the software is launched, we establish a support structure between both parties and then look to add more features based on user requests and business requirements.
We finalise SLA’s to give you peace of mind and confidence in the uptime and availability of your software to your users. Our cloud architecture ensures that software is scalable, robust and has a near 100% uptime.
Our Technologies
We use enterprise grade technology to bring our projects into functional reality, staying
at the forefront of modern software development through innovation and understanding.

Questions? We’re Here To Help
Want to learn more about how we work and how we’ll achieve your business objectives?
What information do I need to have prepared to get a proposal ?
To provide an accurate proposal and project estimate, it’s helpful to have the following information available:
- Project Goals – Tell us what you want to achieve with your software or application.
- Key Features – The core functionality and capabilities you require.
- Target Users – An idea of who will be using the solution and what their needs are?
- Integrations – Details of any existing systems, platforms, or third-party software that need to connect.
- Budget Range – Your expected investment range to help define the most suitable solution.
- Timeline Expectations – Your preferred delivery timeframe or launch date.
- Supporting Documentation – Wireframes, user stories, requirement documents, or specifications (if available).
- NDA Requirements – If you require an NDA, please have this ready to be signed by us. It’s helpful to have an understanding of your budget range at the outset as well.
What is an MVP (Minimum Viable Product)?
MVPs are an initial version of the software that has a limited set of key features, allowing them to go to market, achieve their first set of clients and receive customer feedback, helping to accomplish the project’s initial goals. This is an experimental step where businesses don’t invest much but learn the dynamics of the market.
When developing software, the first thing to consider is ROI (Return on Investment). At Microknot, we highly recommend building an MVP to test the market/users before investing in the next phase and adding more features and adjustments.
What is Agile software development?
Agile software development is a development methodology that delivers software in short development cycles, allowing for testing, feedback and improvement. At Microknot, we use agile methodologies to ensure the following:
- Enhanced collaboration and communication
- Greater project visibility and transparency
- Faster feedback and continuous improvement
- Reduced project risk
- Higher customer satisfaction
- Greater flexibility to adapt to changing business requirements
How much does software development cost?
Software development costs vary based on the project’s scope and complexity. A simple MVP can cost around $20k and up, while full software product development can range from $50k to $5M, depending on the project’s scope. Our pricing is always at the lower end of the scale. Please send through your NDA, and let’s schedule a face-to-face meeting to discuss further.
Do you have an inhouse team?
Microknot leverages an in-house team which includes highly experienced developers that are continually trained in Australian Standards. Our team members are specialised in their area of expertise, such as Software Consultants, Software Architects, UI/UX Designers, Frontend Developers, Backend Developers, DevOps Engineers, Software Testers and Data Analysts.
How long does it take to build software?
The timeline for software development in Sydney depends on the project complexity, features and your budget. Microknot follows AGILE methodologies to deliver highly efficient custom software solutions in an iterative style. While a simple software project may take 10 to 12 weeks, larger and more complex software solutions can take several months or even a year to complete.

How do I find a reliable custom software development company in Sydney?
- Meet the team face-to-face at their office to get a sense of their business size.
- Choose a company that matches your project size and budget, whether boutique or large.
- Review case studies and understand their development process.
- Check client references to verify their track record and service quality.
What technology stack do you use?
Our developers are experts in Microsoft .NET and Azure cloud-native ecosystems. We use technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular, ReactJS, C#, REST APIs, PHP, and Microsoft SQL Server to build scalable web applications, while React Native supports cross-platform mobile app development. We also leverage Power BI for advanced data analytics and reporting. Our team is experienced in implementing modern software architectures, including microservices in cloud-native environments, to deliver secure, high-performing, and future-ready digital solutions.
Can you integrate into 3rd party applications?
Yes. We can integrate existing applications with 3rd party APIs, develop bespoke business software that integrates securely with existing 3rd party APIs or create APIs for your organisation to use with various solutions. We can integrate with thousands of well-known software’s.
Do you upgrade legacy software?
Yes. We have experience in upgrading a multitude of legacy software products for various Australian businesses in different industries and with varying degrees of functionality. Legacy software upgrades are generally considered to be more complex compared to a new software product development. Choosing a company with previous experience is important for your project’s success. Book a free consultation with our Sydney-based software Architect to discuss your Legacy software upgrade project.
Do you support projects seeking government grants?
Yes. We have experience in working with businesses that apply for government grants such as NSW MVP grant and R&D grants. In the case that you don’t know how to navigate the application process, we have partnered with various Grant Writers in Australia that we can connect you with to support your project.
Do you provide ongoing support after software deployment?
Yes. Ongoing support is crucial for any software development project to maintain its quality as well as develop and release new features. After deployment, we offer continued maintenance and improvements to ensure it remains efficient, secure, up-to-date and aligned with your business requirements. We also take care of the cloud infrastructure as part of ongoing maintenance to give you peace of mind.
Our software developers in Sydney are committed to providing long-term value relationships through dedicated post-launch support.
What’s your billing model?
Fixed Fees – Suitable for small engagements which have fully defined business requirements that will not change prior to completion.
Time & Material – We give an indicative estimate when we start the project and bill at the end of each sprint for the tasks completed in that time.
What are the benefits of partnering with Microknot?
With over 20 years of experience, Microknot is a boutique software service provider backed by onshore and offshore software development teams (Sydney & India). Our prices are competitive compared to other Australian businesses. We also have experience in working with various domains and do have a prebuilt library to fast-track your project.
What is a user story?
A user story helps define project scope and is most often used in AGILE projects. It’s a string of text in a story format which is focused on specific user personas and the functionality they have within the system. It’s important to understand that user stories are not designed to be technical, but rather outlines features in a simple way. An example of a simple user story would be: “As an admin, I will be able to reset customers passwords” / “As an admin, I will be able to order history.”
