What We Deliver
The time we spent in Austin was a timely and extremely beneficial experience for us, and we believe that ModelWire can benefit profoundly by listening to, and by working with Athens Group. The two days of software development process mentoring greatly exceeded our expectations!”
—Tom Olejar, Digital Media Manager, ModelWire
Our deep expertise on the critical front-end of this process — capturing functional and non-functional requirements — ensures that the delivered solution fully meets your business needs
Successful software solutions meet the following three criteria: 1) Fitness to Purpose. How well did the solution meet the functional need? 2) Solution Quality. How accurate and reliable is the solution in meeting the business need. 3) Development Productivity. How much effort was required to achieve fitness and quality goals?
Many things can go wrong in a software project. Incomplete and poorly defined requirements, use of inappropriate technologies, and ill-timed personnel changes can result in late delivery, cost overrun, and lower than expected ROI. A well-defined, multi-disciplined approach, tailored to the specific problem and applying the right mix of methodology, tools and skills is the key to success.
How We’re Different
How We Do It
How We’re Different
- Rather than forcing you into a single methodology, we tailor our methods using the best-practices we’ve accumulated from a wide variety of projects. Whether it’s using Agile methods, UML standards, or structured analysis, we apply the right mix of methods and techniques to balance productivity with thoroughness and quality.
- We spend more time and effort on capturing complete and testable requirements and on proving out critical design elements before we start writing code. Getting these things right up-front makes coding and testing take less time, with fewer surprises.
- Our consultants average over 20 years in implementation experience. Many are proven experts in a diverse set of disciplines and technical environments - equally capable of capturing requirements, coding using the latest tools, techniques and frameworks, and mentoring your technical staff.
How We Do It
- Project scope, requirements, design and test plans are all thoroughly documented and reviewed with our customer at each major milestone.
- Frequent functional and technical reviews help make sure the work is progressing as expected and issues are identified early. Time invested in design reviews and code reviews have an almost immediate payback.
- Logistics planning and software configuration management are core elements in all our software development efforts. Addressing these reduces risk and improves productivity.
Effective Software Design and Development is just one reason why 100% of Athens Group customers are referenceable.
