discovering your problems and opportunities
During the Discovery phase, Macro works closely with each client to ensure a thorough understanding of its business and environment. Discovery promotes open thinking about how the software solution may address not only the most visible current need, but also extensively address future requirements. This process culminates in statements of Vision (ultimate goals and direction) and Scope (limiting issues affecting the vision).
We understand that to succeed it is imperative that we actively listen to our clients. For that reason, we assign consultants with appropriate industry experience to meet with your in-house experts, conduct telephone and e-mail interviews, and read any available documentation. We will also establish a quality assurance plan incorporating predetermined review processes and time frames through the life of the project.
Analyzing Your Business Flow
To ensure our solution effectively addresses your problems and exploits your opportunities, we need to determine:
- What the business function is
- What sub-functions make up the business function
- What processes make up the sub-functions
- Which inputs and outputs belong to a process
- What the sources and destinations of the inputs and outputs are
- Who or what performs the process.
This analysis is integral to the development of a Project Plan, which is completed during the Design phase.
