Our management methodology of choice is the Rational Unified Process, a de-facto industry standard. We apply the best practices of the Rational Unified Process at all stages of software development to ensure that our products and services are of the highest quality.

With the goal of relieving our client from unnecessary management duties, we adapted the core processes of RUP for the environment of outsourced software development: The client is practically freed from overseeing the project during the longest construction phase.

Rational Unified Process methodology divides a software development cycle into four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition phases. Phases are separated by milestones. Each phase is sub-divided into one or more iterations:

In outsourced software development environment, the efficiency of communication between a client and its outsourcing firm is of a vital significance. Therefore, during the Inception and Elaboration phases, we stay in a continuous contact with the client, communicating during each iteration, while working together on business modeling, requirements specification, and analysis and design of a prototype.

At the end of the elaboration phase, as soon as the final requirements have been specified and approved, i.e. the Milestone of Lifecycle Architecture has been passed, we can keep communication with the client to the minimum during the construction phase. Since the construction phase, where the actual implementation is taking place, is the longest phase, the client significantly saves on his management resources.

During the transition phase, we once again maintain the continuous contact during each iteration to ensure thorough testing and a smooth delivery of the final product.
