Chimp is an online fundraising platform that allows individuals and charities to raise money. It uses a feature lifecycle process that includes problem solving through customer interviews and data analysis, designing solutions, and development. Developers are involved throughout the process to help specify problems, design solutions, and implement features. The goal is for developers to understand the problems being solved so they can make better decisions with less documentation.
