Project Management

Project management practices employed by our company are intended to ensure stable and predictable software development process and include:

• Planning & Monitoring
  All project activities are planned before the project starts and can be changed only by agreement with the customer. The Project Manager monitors a progress of the project in accordance with project plans. If any inconsistency with project plans is revealed, we take corrective actions to keep the project within a schedule.
• Process Visibility
    - The project is managed using analytic and progress metrics;
    - The entire process is automated using the following software development tools: MS
       Project Server, Rational Suite.
    - Team communications are managed on a regular basis to achieve better 
       coordination and transparency between project members.
• Checkpoints & Reviews
  Check points are set up in the project plan to monitor the progress. Ongoing and periodical reviews are performed.

Requirements Management

In the early stages of the project we help the customer to identify software requirements. A set of requirements includes functionality, performance, usability, reliability, and hardware compatibility requirements. All requirements are analyzed for feasibility and compatibility. Constant control over requirements eliminates risks and insures the quality development.

Change Management

We recognize that requirements are often changed during the project. We have built our software development process to facilitate requirement changes and to minimize costs of change implementation. The priority of a change request and its influence on the project deadline, cost and a final result are always agreed with the customer.

Software Configuration Management

Automated software configuration management insures that all project elements are up-to-date and consistent with a current project status. This results in effective team interactions which allow us quickly deliver quality products and their versions.

Software Quality Assurance

Our transparent, measurable and constantly improving development process produces products not only on time and on budget, but also with clear code, and appropriate architecture, that simplifies software maintenance. Comprehensive testing ensures that software meets all specified requirements.

Acceptance Procedure

The software acceptance procedure is clear and transparent for our customers. Acceptance criteria and a testing plan are specified and agreed on in the Acceptance Plan before the project starts. Deliverables are sent to the customer along with a testing summary and a report on conformity with the Acceptance Plan. The customer can review the deliverables and reports during the agreed on period of time.

Process Monitoring & Improvements

To ensure that our Software Engineering Process works and delivers the desired results, it is constantly evaluated by our Quality Assurance engineers and improved to achieve better results in the future.
