Methodology - Project Management

Methodology

Our process includes five phases, keeping clients informed of progress and ensuring success.

Discover

Understanding your business and your brand is the critical first step. We work with you to clearly understand your immediate needs and long-term goals, the competitive landscape, and your operating and technical environments. We identify your business objectives and create a strategic plan of action. We define how the success of the project will be assessed. We also establish project scope, budget, and a detailed work plan.

Architect

Try building a house without an architect and you'll be living in a pile of rubble. Likewise, try building an online presence without an Internet Architect and you'll have a useless collection of webpages. What will the solution be? Who will use it and how? What will it do? How will it work? What will it look like? Once we agree on project objectives, we define the functional, technical, and creative requirements. We document them and work with you to refine them. We also build a demo or prototype to test our concept.

Design

One of our fortes is the integration of design and technology. Once the technology is outlined, the designers transform it into a living expression of your branding. Our designers are masters in Human Interface Design, the art and science of creating interfaces that people will naturally want to make use of and intuitively be able to figure out how it works. Its not magic…but it does seem like it!

Implement

We now build the final product. If required, we integrate the solution with your existing systems. We test and quality assure the deliverable and make sure you understand how to manage and maintain it.

Support

For a period after launch, we'll monitor and analyze how the solution performs against the success criteria we defined in the Discover phase. We also complete documentation for the project and present our thoughts on how to approach the next generation of the solution. We can also design and execute a marketing and promotion plan, conduct training sessions, or help staff your organization to support the new solution.
