In this approach, work is actually performed at Indocosmo Project Management and
Development Center located in Japan . Prior to the beginning of any work, an Indocosmo team meets with the customer team to work out details of the engagement. The scope of the project, deliverables, screen layouts, reporting, functionality, timelines, etc. are all defined in detail. A small mockup of the actual application may also be developed during this phase to understand the look-and-feel of the end product. After the definition phase, the work activity is performed at one of the development centers. Progress reports and deliverables will be made available to the customer at pre-agreed intervals. The customer may choose to receive remote access to the development server. By accessing the development
server remotely, the customer can monitor progress in real time, and maintain overall control even though work is being carried out offsite. This approach is ideal for engagements where:
Budget is limited
The scope and requirements are stable and well-defined
Timelines are aggressive |
