Having good developers is only half the key to success. A good project manager and a correct project process is the other half.
Our project managers have vast experience in dealing with all kinds of projects, teams, industries and other factors. We can provide you with just the right amount of project management necessary for your project to be successful. Our experience also has shown us that while many people have had bad experiences in the past with software development that this can often be traced back to use of a bad process. We will apply the right project methodology to your project to ensure success—whether Agile, XP, Scrum, SDLC or traditional, we will give you the right amount of control over your features and budget.
-
Many of our clients benefit from using the Agile method because of its quick iterations, control over features, real-time communication and adaptiveness to change. It emphasizes communication over documentation and presentable, functioning software as a primary focus. This method allows you to see each feature in a working application much sooner than other methods. Estimating and budgeting projects in Agile is easy and is driven by the number of iterations and weeks the project will require.
-
The traditional method is still widely used and is very successful. This method requires more upfront documentation and design than RAD and Agile methods do. But it is somewhat easier to estimate a project’s budget and deliver a specific set of features against a specific budget and timeline.
-
We use the latest project management tools to collaborate and communicate most effectively. These tools allow teams to manage features, documents, tasks, issues, timelines, and more. The specific tools we use on your project will depend on your team size and the project method. But we have experience using VersionOne (Agile), BaseCamp, dotProject, ClockingIT, and Microsoft Project. These tools are all useful, but are only as good as the project manager coordinating the project.
