...requirements and use case modeling

...analysis & design mentoring (UML)

Use case modeling provides an excellent tool for describing your business processes. We can help you to establish traceability from end user requirements and build software solutions, which more directly support your users’ everyday working practices.

We bring the benefit of tactical deployment of senior developers at the analysis, design and programming phases who can provide practical hands-on UML skills, and have the experience and ability to transfer their knowledge to your full-time staff.

...project sizing and costing

...process definition (RUP, DSDM)

Our consultants can assist in the production of project plans and detailed definitions of development increments, complete with cost, duration and resource estimates.

Having successfully managed many large-scale strategic software development projects, we can help implement a development life-cycle most appropriate to your organisation.

...project risk assessment

...software architecture definition

Working with your senior management, we can advise on the selection and scope of development projects that are the most appropriate for the introduction of new technology, and stand the best chance of success.
We can conduct a project risk assessment and help you assess risk impact and probability. With this information we can prioritise risks and develop appropriate contingency plans.

Only the most senior consultants have the experience necessary to produce an initial high level design of the entire system architecture. This strategic design is of particular significance when establishing a corporate-wide infrastructure to act as a foundation on which to build a suite of software applications.
It is at this early stage in the development life-cycle that critical decisions are made which will fundamentally affect the quality of the delivered system.
In our experience, this is a mission-critical effort and requires the most experienced practitioners.
