Business Analysis

Business Requirements Gathering and Gap Analysis

When your information systems are truly mission critical to your business and require to reliably support extremely high transaction rates while truly leveraging the latest in social media and Big Data technologies, you need the right solution—a smart solution that actually moves your technology from just being a "cost burden" to becoming a competitive weapon! Amongst the areas we will jointly explore with your business team are:

IT Governance Evaluation

We can assess your organization’s structure, and its degree of effectiveness comparing the required skill-sets with the actual resource assets. We can suggest ways to re-position and re-train proven resources and help you identify the best approaches for resource augmentation. We can work with you to define the most appropriate governance and organization structures to better meet your objectives

Products

Working with you, we can apply our understanding of development life-cycle and technology inter-dependencies, combined with the ever-present need to return value as a soon as possible, to better articulate your product roadmap.

Project Status Evaluation

Once the various preliminary assessments are completed (including understanding the overall migration strategy, and your development pipeline, and costs have been determined, we will produce a milestone based implementation plan

Our planning methodology is milestone-based; not task-based. The difference between a milestone and a traditional project management event is that the milestone should stand on its own as a deliverable. Finishing a piece of code is not a milestone. Completing a prototype or being able to demonstrate a complete sub-component of the deliverable are examples of milestones. If the event is something that can be shown to anyone outside the development group, and be understood as a partial success, then it qualifies as a milestone.
