Nationwide Service
|
A custom application or software program solution can empower your business with capabilities that will streamline your operations, make you more efficient and reduce
your costs.To develop a software solution or any custom program, Softway follows a methodology that has proven to be successful over and over again, as outlined below.

|
Discovery Phase of a Software Solution
|
 |
|
The Discovery phase builds a shared vision of the
project among all the key stakeholders of the
project. The Softway Solutions team identifies the
tasks and deliverables that address the requirements
and goals
of the project as set by you. We structure
our phases according to the Microsoft Solutions Framework.
The Discovery Process consists of the following steps: |
|
1. Defining the project structure: Identification of an administrative structure for the project team and the standards for managing the project.
2. Defining your business goals: Analysis of your business objectives and potential opportunities in order to identify the final deliverables.

3. Assessing the current situation: Evaluation of the current situation and
analysis
of the difference between the current
and expected situation. The purpose of this
evaluation is to create the problem statement
and identify the direction of the project.
4. Creating a vision statement and defining the scope of the project: Creation
of a vision statement that
communicates the long-term direction for
guiding the team
toward its business goals.
Identification of the scope of the project
defines what will
and will not be included in the solution.
5. Defining requirements and user profiles: Identification of the stakeholders,
end users, and sponsors for the project and
documentation of their requirements for
the solution. This information helps to
evaluate the vision/scope of the project and
to
create a solution concept. |
|
| |
6. Developing a solution concept: Creation of a baseline solutions concept, that is,
the outlining of the approach that the team will take to create the solution. This concept
is created by using the requirements that have been identified.
7. Assessing risk: Identification and assessment of the risks to the project, and
creation of a risk mitigation plan. This is an iterative step that is conducted during all
stages of the product life cycle.
8. Closing the Discovery Phase: Accomplished when the vision/scope document is
formally approved by all stakeholders and the project team. |
