Delivery

Breaking the ends from the means, two things are required to produce good software: a well-defined development process and good people. Even with those assets at hand, it’s often necessary to seek outside help to supplant internal development resources.

	Delivery Phases Project planning, feasibility study: Establishes a high-level view of the intended project and determines its goals. Systems analysis, requirements definition: Refines project goals into defined functions and operation of the intended application. Analyzes end-user information needs. Systems design: Describes desired features and operations in detail, including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams, pseudo-code and other documentation. Implementation: Software is written and tested unit-by-unit. Integration and testing: Brings all the pieces together into a special testing environment, then checks for errors, bugs and interoperability. Acceptance, installation, deployment: The final stage of initial development, where the software is put into production and runs actual business. Maintenance: What happens during the rest of the software's life: changes, correction, additions, moves to a different computing platform and more. This, the least glamorous and perhaps most important step of all, goes on seemingly forever.

SIBRIDGE offers a flexible alternative to traditional staff augmentation or contract software development. We provide a hybrid, mentorship-oriented partnership for developing solutions hand-in-hand with internal IT staff in an "internal outsourcing" model that enables skills transfer and delivery together.

Our practitioners, architects, and project managers can tailor our approach to delivery to suit any enterprise need, ranging from directly improving existing systems capabilities to creating an “in-house outsourcing” capability - with integrated SIBRIDGE staff mentoring client staff in new skills and technologies.

Our approach ensures clear and consistent communications and on-time delivery. We systematically define all roles and responsibilities of the people involved in the process, define project tasking agressively, and manage to risks and schedule.

Mentorship – a key part of SIBRDIGE delivery

New IT capabilities do not “just happen.”

Continuous, managed effort is required to preserve and develop the business capability of delivering IT systems in an ever-changing technical environment.

Our approach to delivery is specifically designed to transfer skills and capabilities to our client’s IT organization. SIBRDGE uses a collaborative approach to delivery, establishing "joint ownership" while teaching both the business and technical organizations in new skills and capabilities consistent with industry and SIBRIDGE-learned best practices.

Throughout the project, SIBRIDGE develops and monitors a staff development plan. This includes necessary training to bridge skill gaps as well as tracking specific mentorship assignments.

Additionally, we enable client organizations to sustain their ability to manage new technologies, by structuring and deploying an internal “competency center” approach to managing technology. This provides a critical architecture management function for maintaining and growing the enterprise suite of capabilities, staff, and architectural focus.
