Delivering with Confidence
January 27th, 2010 by Ali Asghar
The deal is done. Great. The Service Level Agreements (SLAs) have been worked out. Awesome. What next? Get the job done. Clients often keep their fingers crossed until they see the final product. Not because they doubt your credibility (if that was the case, they wouldn’t have chosen you in the first place), but because of the changes they might have to consider as they see the product progressing from strategy to implementation and the changing market dynamics. Not to forget, the impact that these changes might have on the final outcome. So how does one progress in such a scenario? Here’s how Esberi does it.
Understand that Change is Imminent
In every project, no matter how well-documented the requirement specifications are, clients comes across a point wherein they have to decide whether to make some changes to the product or stick to the specs. More often than not, they choose to do the former. This is not to say that we ignore the extensive research and discovery process to understand clients’ requirements to microscopic detail. We at Esberi understands the fact that market dynamics have to be taken into account before beginning to work on any project. And, that’s why all its projects are flexibly planned to accommodate such changes with ease. After all, market and competition dictates how your end-product should be.
Discover your Users
Understanding your client’s requirements thoroughly is the first step in making a successful product. This involves asking the right questions, doing extensive research and adopting innovative methods to give you the product that you envision.
Design for the Users
Once you’re sure of what the client really needs, design the product around it. Esberi has a user-centric approach towards design. For us, user comes first. We put ourselves in the users’ shoes to see if we like it. Using techniques like user personas, profiles and scenarios we rapidly build prototypes and see if it fits the bill. Be it interaction design or visual design, we strive to give the user an intuitive experience, such that the user finds the application as a natural progression to his or her current action and intent.
Develop Smart & Agile
This is where all the action takes place. All the designs and concepts take shape here. Using Agile Development practice of Test-driven development, we follow an iterative development cycle to ensure that we are proceeding in the right direction. Each iteration includes further requirements gathering and clarification, refinement of the detailed design, coding and testing, culminating in a new user-accepted application release. Each release contains prioritized functionality that delivers incremental business benefit and reinforces customer confidence.
Deliver with Confidence
The Agile approach not only brings speed to a project, it also brings a very high level of quality to the project. Automated, repeatable testing is a cornerstone of our approach to ensure that high quality software is developed.
