Six Steps of
Success...
 |
| It starts with a
vision on how to improve the way you manage and
share important information! The initiation (or
visualization) phase is the first step towards a
successful project. Client and project details
are gathered and documented at this stage using
our unique 'Discovery Toolkit'. At the
initiation meeting we discuss and agree upon
goals, needs, expected benefits and
business/organization requirements. We work with
the client to gather the facts and figures
required to ensure their vision becomes a
reality! |
| |
|
Planning |
| Comprehensive
project planning and collaboration between A
Bridge Solution and the client is essential. In
this phase all high-level project goals are
further detailed; setting the framework and
foundation for the project. A complete list of
user requirements originates from these goals.
In this phase the Project Manager creates a
formal Project Plan (a.k.a. 'The Project
Framework') which identifies the project team,
milestones, schedule, constraints and risks for
the project. |
| |
|
Discovery |
| To discover your
unique application needs, our Project Management
Team will require some additional information on
the application we are to build. In this phase,
each goal is refined into a set of system
requirements. These requirements define the
major functions of the intended application,
define data schemas, and establish work flows
through the use of a variety of diagrams. |
| |
|
Construction |
| Once The Project
Framework has been finalized, we can now begin
to design and construct your unique solution! A
key advantage of following a structured process
like our "Methodology for Success" is that the
original plan can be modified as the project
unfolds. Compare it to building a new house - if
you don't have proper plans, it's difficult to
know if you can add an extra room without the
floor collapsing! During the construction phase,
your system is tested in a variety of ways; our
goal is to develop an error-free application
that meets all of your needs. |
| |
|
Implementing |
| This phase involves
the creation of a detailed implementation plan
(a.k.a. 'Implementation Steps'), which clearly
outlines the route to be taken to install the
software application. Any final data conversion
issues/risks are also identified and documented
in this process. A date is typically scheduled
and coordinated with the client to perform the
installation and conduct data migration.
Training sessions are scheduled and conducted
with the client (if desired) during this stage
of the project. Your information management
system is ready! |
| |
|
Fruition |
| With your brand new,
custom-built software application
up-and-running, together we have truly "brought
your blueprint to life!". The final phase of our
project life cycle ensures that you (the client)
are fully satisfied with the system developed
and deployed. A post-project questionnaire helps
us to gauge our clients' level of satisfaction
with A Bridge solution as a professional service
provider and the solution developed. This
evaluation also helps us to measure our overall
effectiveness and quality of service, and
address any areas where we could stand to
improve. |
