Project
Management
Communication with a Customer
The customer resolves all issues by
communicating with the assigned Project Manager, responsible for planning the
work, performing overall management and tracking the progress.
Customer side It is reasonable
that the customer assigns a responsible contact person, e.g. a Project
Coordinator, to address all possible issues from Egypt Experts team.
Communication is carried out by email, instant messengers, phone and personal
meetings.
Planning
and Reporting
A
detailed plan is created at the beginning of each phase and updated by the
project manager at least weekly. This allows transparent tracking of the status
of the project and provides a clear vision of the cost of the whole project and
its every step.
Requirements
Management
From
the experience we know that creation of a visual prototype of the future
solution (just a GUI, look and feel, real controls and navigation) at the
requirements gathering stage is an effective practice. Its purpose is to let
the customer “feel” the future solution and probably adjust the requirements at
the very beginning.
Change
Management
All
requests are sent to the change requests pool accessible to both the customer
and Egypt Experts managers. The pool serves as a base for future iterations
scope planning. This approach allows the customer to easily control timeline
and budget of the project.
Risk
Management.
There
are some risks for offshore projects and many offshore teams tend to ignore
them, which leads to failure of software development projects. Our experience
of efficient risk management allows us to avoid them and finish the project in
time and within budget.
Competence
Transfer
Involves
documentation and knowledge transfer including transfer of specifications,
design, test, release, guideline documents and user manuals and end user or
administrator trainings.
