Time spent getting the design agreed and understood at the start, before applications are built, will prove to be a good investment. It is far easier to change a design than to re-work an application when it is built. The problems caused by inadequate planning are eliminated by using a structured approach, understanding the business drivers and gaining business commitment right from the start of the project.
If used well, such an approach can not only set the foundation for meeting the needs of the business, but can in fact help define systems that provide innovative solutions that surpass the original expectation. Rigorous confirmation of the requirements and a method of describing the proposed solution in business terms are essential.
Our successful design approach will:
- Demonstrate the project team’s understanding of the business need
- Ensure completeness of the requirements gathering process
- Prove that the proposed design will meet the needs of the business
- Identify any areas where stated requirements will not be met and provide alternative solutions
- Provide confirmation of the business case
- Describe the proposed solution design from different perspectives and at varying levels of detail, dependent on audience.
We specialise in applying this approach to application implementations in the following areas:
