We Don’t Work For You - We Work With You
We’re here to build things that work. That users use. That founders are proud of. To shift the landscape, we need you - fully committed, alongside us.
Software That Solves Real Problems
Beyond Requirements
Most briefs are wrong. Not because clients don’t know what they want - but because software development often starts too late. At Khiliad, we start upstream: uncovering real problems, testing assumptions, and defining value before we touch code.
We don’t just gather requirements - we help shape the right solution. Through workshops, prototypes, and ruthless prioritisation, we move fast - not blindly.
From MVP to MUP
Why Usability Matters
Most companies talk about MVPs. We like to think about it as Minimum Usable Product (MUP). It shows our focus on usability and value. It removes the ambiguity of 'viable' and places usability at the centre of the product definition.
You can read more about our approach and our MUP philosophy in our blog post.
Delivers Core Value
Our MUP approach does not just function but provides a meaningful experience so your users can use its intended purpose.
Creates Real Feedback
Your users are more likely to engage and offer feedback when the product is usable, even if limited in scope.
Builds Trust
A usable product demonstrates a commitment to quality and respect for the users, creating trust and loyalty.
Encourages Early Adoption
A usable product is more likely to attract and retain early adopters and undecided users.
Delivery, By Design
How Do We Do It?
Our approach combines agile delivery, product thinking, and nearshore collaboration. We plan sprints around outcomes, ship working software early, and bring stakeholders along at every step. We don’t just build what’s asked - we ask what should be built.
- Focus on user-centric design
Every project starts with one of our Product Design workshops, which helps us understand your business, user needs, and pain points. - Simplicity with core value
The key outcome of Product Design workshops is the core value proposition. We cut unnecessary features and focus on delivering one polished experience. - Collaborative roadmap
During the development lifecycle, we collaborate on the roadmap, ruthlessly prioritising between "usable now" and "do later". - Embracing agile delivery
During the development lifecycle, your product will be built in small increments, and we will validate it with you and your users at every step.
Real Agile
Agile That Works
With decades of experience coaching and leading agile teams - including enterprise-scale transformation - we know how agile should feel: fast, lean, and grounded in user value.
- Iterative development
We work in focused sprints, delivering working features every 1-2 weeks. You will see real progress, not just progress reports or metrics. - Adapting to change
Markets change, requirements shift, and we're ready for that. Our process lets you adjust direction while keeping your project on track. - Working software
Every sprint ends with working software, no makeshift demos or fancy presentations. No illusion of progress - just software that works.
Not Just Hired Help
Your Team, Enhanced
You don’t need a thousand developers. You need five who care.
Direct Communication
You will work directly with developers who understand your goals. No account managers or slow handovers - just clear, direct collaboration.
Knowledge Transfer
Your team learns as we build. Through proper documentation and training, you gain a complete understanding of your solution.
Everything You Need
Cross-Functional Teams That Deliver
From product owners to engineers, testers to solution architects, we bring the full capability to ship real software - without bloated layers or disconnected roles. Everyone understands the problem, not just their piece of it.
- Development teams
Small cross-functional teams of skilled developers working together on your project. They are the right size for fast progress without communication overhead. - Quality built in
Dedicated QA engineers will work alongside developers from day one. Automated testing and quality controls come built-in - not billed as extras. - Product leadership
Dedicated Product Owners will act as your bridge to the technical team. They understand your business goals and ensure everyone stays focused on what matters to you. - Technical leadership
Experienced technical leads ensure architectural decisions support your long-term goals. No short-term fixes that cause long-term problems.
