Define the Project Goals – Together we will define the desired project goals and identify the roles and responsibilities of the key people leading the project team. We will determine the main constraints and limitations for the proposed system.

Feasibility - We will identify the economic and technical risks to the project and will consider the "Buy vs. Build" options.

Develop Initial Project Plan - We will make an initial project plan and include an initial cost and schedule estimate.

Evaluate Business Opportunity - Together we will consider all the research and requirements to date and make a "go/no-go" decision.

Develop Risk Management Plan - We will define economic, business, and technical risks to the project and develop a plan for handling each risk.

Define Acceptance Criteria - We will define the criteria for project acceptance and designate a person to sign acceptance letters and approve project deliverables.

Technical Review and Status Meeting - The focus of this meeting is to review and revise project plans and estimates before proceeding to the next phase. Revised estimates keep the project on solid footing.

Gather Detailed Requirements - We will define in detail the exact sequence of transactions for each business function in the system.

Define System Development Strategies - We will define strategies for handling the timing, testing, building, implementation, and end user training for the eventual system

Design Application – We will design the architecture, generate object models, and build a visual prototype to provide a solid foundation for construction.

Detailed Project Plan - Using the initial requirements and design, we will create a detailed estimate of the project size and staff required to build the final system.

Develop Quality Assurance Plan - We will define the criteria for project acceptance and designate a person to sign acceptance letters and approve project deliverables.

Technical Review and Status Meeting - The focus of this meeting is to review and revise project plans and estimates before proceeding to the next phase.

Establish Development Environment - We will setup initial hardware, software, development databases, connectivity and security

Write Application Code - We will write the code according to all the design requirements gathered, and use standard naming conventions.

Install System - Install and prepare the new system.

Test Scripts and Unit Testing - We will create test scripts from the requirements. We will perform unit testing on a build by build basis to ensure the system is conforming to the requirements.

Technical Review and Status Meeting - The focus of this meeting is to review and revise project plans and estimates before proceeding to the next phase.

Educate Organization - We will hold seminars or classes to educate your organization on the new system.

Review for the Future - We will confirm the results of the system and define a time line for maintenance and future updates.
