Frequently Asked Questions

How does AgencyPro handle sprint-based billing for software development?

AgencyPro supports project-based billing that aligns with development sprints. Track time spent during each sprint on feature development, bug fixes, testing, and other work, then create invoices per sprint or per milestone. You can show sprint breakdowns in invoices, giving clients visibility into what was accomplished during each development cycle. This sprint-based billing helps clients understand ongoing software development progress and investment.

Can I separate feature development from bug fixes and maintenance?

Yes, AgencyPro lets you categorize software development work by type, so feature development, bug fixes, testing, code reviews, and maintenance can be tracked separately. When creating invoices, include these as distinct line items, showing clients what they pay for new feature development versus support and maintenance work. This separation helps justify software development pricing and demonstrates the different types of work involved in building and maintaining software.

How do I invoice for both ongoing maintenance retainers and new feature development?

AgencyPro handles both recurring retainer invoices and project-based billing. Set up monthly retainer invoices that automatically include tracked maintenance, bug fixes, and support hours, then create separate project invoices for new feature development, major enhancements, or architecture work. Clients see clear separation between ongoing maintenance and new development, avoiding confusion about what's included in retainers versus project work.

What if clients want to see which features were developed or which bugs were fixed?

AgencyPro invoices support detailed line items and descriptions. When creating invoices from tracked software development work, you can add notes specifying which features were developed, which bugs were fixed, which tests were written, or which code reviews were completed. This level of detail helps clients understand the scope of software development work completed and justifies development pricing, leading to better client relationships and fewer billing questions.
