A Proven Approach to Project Implementation
Honed over many projects with many business and printing company clients, our ACDS team’s approach to project implementation offers:
Our approach consists of five tightly linked phases:
Requirements: To build a shared vision of the project among all the key stakeholders, we create a broad description of the goals and constraints of the project, develop requirement specifications, and deliver a master project plan.
Design: During the design phase, we prepare the functional specifications and prototype and design the solution.
Development: During the development phase, the project team creates the solution – including creating and documenting the code that implements the solution and ensuring that the new code fits the design/infrastructure of the solution. We deliver, executable files, installation scripts and configuration settings, finalized functional specification, and test cases.
Testing/UAT: Macrosoft and the client perform integration, load, and stress testing on the solution. The team tests deployment scenarios and identifies, prioritizes, and resolves issues so that the solution can be prepared for release. The solution evolves from the state of all features being complete as defined in the functional specification for this version to the state of meeting the defined quality levels. The final release, with release notes, is then ready for deployment to the business.
Deployment: Macrosoft deploys the solution and site components, stabilizes the deployment, transfers the project to operations and support, and obtains final client approval of the delivery. After deployment, the team delivers a project completion report and conducts a project review and customer satisfaction survey.
