Internet Application Development Strategy

Multiple Disciplines

Successful websites are not just a product of a single technology, like ASP.NET. Rather to develop an excellent website requires technologists from multiple disciplines working in concert. These disciplines include networking, security, database management, UX design, graphics design, and application development.

Effective Development Process

On the web, trends change frequently, it seems daily. Flash, Silverlight, HTML5; Search with SEO and SEM; Social networking; mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and pads; location awareness; augmented reality; broadband and the NBN; and the list goes on. With this rapid shift on the Internet, the business that can leverage opportunities first, with a robust solution, set themselves apart. An important component of your Internet strategy is speed of development.

Implementing an effective development process, which accounts for business requirements, and evolving technology opportunities, is paramount.

How the Service Works

Product Owner

The first imperative is to ensure that you, the client, own the full development of the application. As such you nominate a key business decision maker as Product Owner. We can provide training in their particular role and responsibilities, but it is important that they have the decision making authority in the business. The Product Owner needs to be fully conversant with the objectives of the website.
They will work closely with the Solution Development Team throughout the project ensure that the web features are delivered in line with the business priorities.

Solution Development Team

The team can be wholly Readify consultants, or jointly resourced with developers from your organisation. We find that many clients engage our Solution Development Service and assign their developers to the team which allows them to gain experience in developing in a high performing team environment, as well as the latest web technologies.

Product Backlog

With the Product Owner, and Solution Development Team roles assigned, the team will determine all of the features to develop for the application. These are developed as User Stories, estimated by the team as a whole, and prioritised by the Product Owner in a Product Backlog. It is this backlog that drives activities for the rest of the development.

Development Environment

The Build Master then configures the development environment in our cloud based architecture. This typically takes very little time, and we have processes in place to ensure that configurations are backed up for easy replication.

Development Sprints

The Web Solution Development Team typically works to 10 day sprints or iterations. They perform daily builds, and deliver working features, from the prioritised backlog at the end of every sprint. This gives our clients confidence that the project is on track, ensures that there is a working application at every milestone, and allows for course corrections should priorities change for any reason.

Sprints aren't constrained to 10 days, they can be as short as 5 days, and some clients extend them to 4 weeks. In our experience a 10 day sprint is long enough to deliver real value, and frequent enough to stay on track without major revision work.

Flexible Options

The Readify Solution Development Service allows clients to fix project scope, with a variable duration; or fix duration with a variable project scope (i.e. features delivered). This ensures Readify can achieve your goals whatever your business imperative, whether this be application feature set, or time to market.

Full Service

When you engage the Solution Development Service, as well as the team on-site, you benefit from the full resources of Readify at your disposal, including: Access to specialist consultants, our hosted development infrastructure, best practice ALM processes and tooling, and deep relationships with specialist partners.
