The Road Ahead
At Developing Methods we work to
guide you through every bend and curve of the software development process.
Software Development can be as dangerous as a winding road. Software development
projects are plagued with fits and starts; thats even when the project is managed
relatively well. Steer clear of the horror stories (Delays, budget overruns, or
even project cancelation) by selecting Developing Methods.
No process is perfect, but many costly mistakes can be averted when you engage someone
who has been there. We have not only been there, but we can tell you how to prepare
for the bend up ahead. And, not only that, we can prepare you for the entire journey;
what to get upset about and what is a natural part of the process.
We will work with you to understand the features and capabilities of your solution
so we can in turn help you understand the implications of your business rules and
the impact those rules will have on the management, use, and maintainability of
the software once it actually does what you have requested.
We also provide our own collaboration website that allows all project team members
— including your staff — to easily and efficiently communicate with the entire project
team. No redundancy, no email hell, no loss of information.
"What is the software development process?", you ask. The easiest way to
answer that is from a two thousand foot view. It is a iteritive and sequential process
which can be restarted at any point until the software program is finished.
Remember, a process must be documented. Without a documented process you simply
cannot guarentee whether any specific task will be executed. When you choose a software
consultancy be sure they have a process and it is documented.
