Definition Phase

The Definition Phase is characterised by a detailed exchange of information between you and us. We'll seek to document and understand all the needs and requirements for your project, and how our software will meet them.  During Definition, we'll work closely with you to understand the scope and details of your business plan as well as the wider project goals for all technical and non-technical audiences.

We'll also work on gathering information from around your business, which includes talking to current and potential application users and objectively reviewing any literature you have to ensure it will meet your needs. All this pre-work will set a basic agenda for the next stage of implementation.

As with any project, there are some key objectives. In each Phase, they form the underlying basis for the next stage.

Definition Objectives:

• Establish the high level business strategy behind your implementation
• Define basic functional and technical requirements

Definition Deliverables:

• Baseline Functional Requirements Definition
• Initial Application and Technical Architecture
• Detailed Design documentation

Timescale: Typically 1-2 weeks

During each Phase, you will have a core project team assigned to your implementation. During Definition, that team will typically include:

• Project Manager
• Solution Architect
• Technical Architect  

Next Phase: Build
