Process & Technology

• Development Process

  Creating effective solutions requires using a methodology that is compatible with the client and project environment. We believe in providing our clients with an approach that is tailored to their individual needs.

  When considering an approach we consider the following components:

  • Determining and Prioritizing Requirements
  • Identifying and Assessing Risk
  • Estimating Effort
  • Architecture, Design and Development (including developing standards, review procedures, and unit testing)
  • Builds and Production Releases
  • Documentation, Knowledge Transfer and End-User Training

  However, we feel that to be successful in todays development environment, the following agile development features should also be included:

  • Iterative development
  • Frequent deliverables and feedback
