Typical, the end to end Solution development process consists of the following phases which could be scaled up or down depending on the size of the project. The usual pattern of project management and delivery follows these stages of evolution:

Requirement Definition

The application development starts with defining the requirements of the project. The client can send us the RFP (Request for Proposal) document with functional as well as technical requirements for the project of the company. The RFP clearly mentions the scope or the boundaries of the project with details like the functionality of the application, its modules and their features, user awareness levels and profile, preferred technology platforms. The RFP helps the project development team at Pramisoft to arrive at an accurate estimation of resources necessary, time and costs for the client company.

Project development Proposal and sign-off

The RFP provides our company, information about the project that our project management team uses to create the project development proposal. The proposal document includes requirements of the project development and delivery schedule, scope and functionalities taken into consideration, communication plan with the client, resource allocation details and estimations regards time and costs. The web development project sign-off occurs on the approval of the offer document by the client.

Analysis and Project design

Project Management for a project starts with the deeper analysis of the project requirements and resource allocation. Project teams are formed involving web graphic artists, HTML developers and web programmers. A micro level development plan is laid out which includes individual level task allocation and milestone planning.

Screen design and approval

any projects need constant feedback and review from the customer from early on in the project at regular intervals. Keeping this in mind, project management and web development teams at our company create screen designs/ HTML copies of the application for the clients for approval. These files do not have a database or back-end code attached but gives the customer an exact working demo of how the application will run. This is a very important first step in web development project. This first deliverable (output) is given to the customer very early in the project so that he can ‘see’ how his web site application is going to be developed. Any inconsistencies with the customer expectations can be sorted out in this stage itself and save enormous amounts of time and budget overruns in case of misunderstood requirements of the web development project of the client company. The project proceeds once the customer has approved the web pages.

Database design and web development

Following client’s approval of the HTML copy of the web site application, the web development team at Pramisoft does the database design and writes the code for the application. Highly skilled programmers with superior expertise in their respective technologies develop the application based on the development plan.

Project management and development at Pramisoft is a very quality conscious discipline. Logs are maintained by each member of the team to enable project performance tracking. Proper adherence to quality standards while writing code and excellent resource allocation makes project management at Pramisoft a highly successful practice.

Testing

Post web development stage the web application is then tested exhaustively before it is handed out to the customer. Application testing at Pramisoft takes place at multiple levels. Project Management and Development in our company requires every developer to be responsible for a unit level testing of his developed part of the web project. This removes most of the inconsistencies or bugs during the development phase itself. After the web development stage is over, a separate team tests the web site application at individual module level as well as the system level. This adds comprehensiveness and objectivity to the testing process and ensures that the web applications are bug-free. The web development project is then handed over to the customer and is made live by deploying it over the destination web server.

Warranty

Project management and development practice at Pramisoft includes a two-month warranty period allowed to the customer. During this phase, the project management and web development team at our company undertakes to correct any bug or discrepancy in the web site application’s performance for the customer at no extra charges.

Communication Practices:

Project management and development at Pramisoft places paramount importance on the communication between our teams and the client so as to ensure project success. Project communication with the client forms cornerstone of Pramisoft project management and development process. The project management team at Pramisoft has laid down an effective customer communications plan that overrides all project communication with the customer. Project communication plan from Pramisoft includes daily updates and online meetings once a week between project coordinators from either side to ensure that progress is as expected. Beyond the project communication plan, either party can request for an urgent meeting in times of urgency like requirement changes. Project management and development teams at Pramisoft are accessible to customers at different times via multiple modes of communication viz email, chat, telephone meetings, or personal meeting. We believe this is important as it makes things easier for us as we hope it does for our customers.
