Preparing project proposal

Update project tracker

document

Prerequisites: Design 2 generic project proposal formats based on client profile (short and detailed). The same can be then modified and updated specifically for each projects.

Send proposal to clientSave to Cloud

Pre-requisites: 1.Create proper contact addresses for communication with client: emailId, phone number,

Skype account etc.2.Finalise Project tracker tools: google docs, basecamp, zoho, jira, vtiger, sugar CRM etc.

Notes: Estimate tracker should include fields like:

Client details, person incharge, estimate details(title, devices, platforms, costing, man hours, rate ); status(requirement gathering, estimate proposed, sign-off, kick-

off,design,development,QA,Deployed)and remarks.

Gather initial requirement from client through email, phone, Skype, ask for a

requirement doc if possible

client, assign resources to the project

Project schedule & SRS

Planning phase

Create a detailed project schedule listing out timelines, resources, client dependencies

Prepare detailed SRS/BRD/Low level SOW for the project including : wireframes, graphic (UI/UX)

themes and mockup screens.

Send SRS/BDR to client and get it

Project resource allocation(Human resource, Development and PM Software, Hardware)

Need a tools to be used for maintaining project schedule and resources allocation and occupancy.

• The high level wireframe and UI/UX mockups can be given to client in project sign-off phase

as well, based on requirement to assist in sign-off. •

The SRS/BRD for this phase should mention in detail the complete requirement, System overview, targeted OS, platform, devices, user interfaces; constraints, assumptions and

dependencies; Design constraints/compliances; Licensing, IP, third party integration, open source libraries integration etc.

Software Design Document

Design phase

Graphics design & wireframe

Prepare Software Design Document for the project including: database design, architecture design, interface design and procedural designs

Prepare unit test cases and low level QA test

cases document.

Design app graphics for all screens.Update BRD with actual graphics & wireframe

Deploy

Maintain an app Dashboard with all the details of finished projects including : total time and effort the project took, payment details, resources worked under it, technology used, platforms

targeted, case study, client response, reusable components and lessons learnt •

Before deploying the app recheck the source code and graphics for IP and third party components .
