Proprietary application design is a crucial stage that can make or break your project. To ensure that your IT investment dollars get real business benefit, SCG works closely with business-unit leaders using a proven methodology that manages risk while ensuring that each step brings you closer to meeting your expectations. At SCG, we structure application design around the following critical deliverables. The Functional Specification In the functional specification, SCG details the system down to the level of program and file specifications and the results are integrated to produce the total systems solution. The functional specification includes:
The functional specification is critical to a successful design phase because it drives communication and effective decision-making between top executives, managers, IT staff, and other key personnel while providing the foundation for construction of the prototype. System Prototype During the design phase, SCG developers construct a prototype that allows our clients to "test drive" the end product, while focusing on basic functionality. The prototype includes screens and a partially functional user interface that allows clients to "experience" the look and feel of the application, driving improvements before actual construction has begun. The application prototype gives our clients a powerful tool that helps them identify priorities, refine their requirements and make smarter business decisions. Project Plan Given that labor can account for three-quarters of the cost of developing software, SCG develops a formal project plan which enables the highest levels of productivity and quality throughout the project. The plan specifies a proposed timeline for the construction and implementation of the system, and includes a breakdown of all activities by task, milestone, and required hours. Since each milestone typically involves a spectrum of tasks that are performed concurrently, working with a strong project plan enables our project managers and clients alike to manage the complexities of scheduling resources within a collaborative environment. The project plan also helps mitigate the risk of "scope creep" by ensuring that all stages of the project construction and implementation are thoroughly mapped out. Use Cases As SCG gathers requirements based on your internal business processes, we create use cases to help delineate specific tasks. Using actors, roles, goals and scenarios, these step-by-step procedures enable our developers to grasp the logic behind an application and allow our clients to fine-tune business rules and verify that the system will meet all the requirements. During construction, use cases are reviewed for project completion. Let Us Help You Today To see how SCG can help you today, contact us. |
