The stuff below is from our services page and needs to be rewritten to cover Requirements Life cycle exclusively.
Do you have a methodology that needs updating, downsizing, or tuning? We can help! Every methodology we’ve seen, from commercial products to in-house developed approaches, can be significantly improved using our methods.
We start with your development methods. Then we add our proven requirements analysis, project management, and software testing methods to build a foundation for your new successful system development life cycle. We help you customize and apply our methods for initial planning, phase planning, status tracking, change management, and post-project evaluation.
We can add our estimating methods, supported with our estimating tool Quest For Better Estimates®. Our estimating methods use the best features of today’s approaches, such as Boehm’s COCOMO factors and Function Point estimating. Of course, we supply supporting background and explanatory materials.
We bring you up to speed using Plan By Example®, our re-usable automated project planning approach. One strength of Plan By Example is its active documentation support. It captures your project documentation while accelerating early planning.
The final touch on your new, enhanced methodology is the fine-tuning. We help you populate your project models with baseline project plans, adapted to your methodology. Then we coach your staff in the pilot projects using the new methods. We can also provide training in your new methods, if needed. In follow-up, we show you how to update your model project plans from your history, and complete the transfer of technology and skills needed to maintain your new, improved methods.

Customers want a quality experience, whether they are buying a product or a service. And they want it again and again. The ability to repeatedly deliver what the customer wants is the hallmark of successful organizations. In the information technology universe, your customer is the rest of your company. What difference does that make? Absolutely none. Your customer wants a quality experience, again and again. How can you deliver that? The answer is in your methods. A method is a repeatable process with the skills and tools needed to use it effectively. The right set of methods can help you improve the quality, speed and efficiency of information systems delivery. The wrong set of methods can bog your projects down in unnecessary steps that keep your information technology from changing at the speed of business. The challenge is figuring out what methods are right for you and your organization. |

| Standard system development methodologies promise repeatability at the potential cost of adding unnecessary overhead to all projects. Home-grown methods give you a better fit for your organization at the cost of potentially missing best practices. We think that the best approach is to combine the strengths of these two options while reducing the downsides. You can customize your existing methodology by retrofitting it to include more industry best practices. You can also start with our skeletal methodology of best practices and add your own flavor of tools, techniques, roles and responsibilities. Either way, you will get the best of both worlds. | ||||
