Software Projects

We consider that the product quality is ensured by an elaborated development process, from the first contact with the customer till the product delivery to the customer. To successfully execute a software project, we adhere to the systematic approach that uses the following:

• Definition of processes necessary for product development (see Processes)

• Distribution of human resources over the processes• Definition and assignment of responsibilities per task during the

product development• Constant control management• Improvement of all processes included in the product

development

Systematic approach

Software Projects

Processes involvedA software project can involve the following processes:

Basic processes, which are directly related to the product development and include the following:

• Project management• Product development• Technical support• Configuration

management• Product testing

Management. These are the managerial processes related to human and technical resources management, including:

• Infrastructure management

• Personnel management• Quality assurance

This process is a pre-development stage of the project. It covers the following activities:

• Acceptance of customer’s software development request

• Information accumulation• Information study and

analysis• Design of technical

documentation: product requirements/product specifications, system architecture

• Design of a project plan• Discussion of questionable

points, suggestions, enhancements with the customer

• Customer’s consent to run a project
