Our Strengths
- The software development process is managed with a project-oriented approach: on this purpose we use Project Objects (PO), an innovative and powerful Enterprise Project Intelligence platform. PO is our key ally for the management and control of projects and for the exchange of information with our clients. Using a project oriented approach grants rigorous compliance with approved budget and in-time deliveries.
- PO supports Planning & Scheduling, Progress Monitoring & Control, Analysis, Reporting and Collaboration processes across Company portfolios, projects, initiatives, opportunities and services.
- For each project, PO allows to create the breakdown structure and the plan; the project is organized in tasks, which are split into tickets; each must be opened, scheduled, executed, tested, accepted by the client and just then the development can be released
- We are familiar to working with big corporations feeling overwhelmed by too much rigidity and bureaucracy; what they need is a flexible partner to work with.
- Flexibility is one of our drivers: we are agile and able to adapt to our clients’ needs in terms of processes, organization and logistics.
- We believe that a straightforward communication is the base for a robust and trustful partnership with clients. We put emphasis on communication and reporting.
- On the side of project management, Project Object, the Project Intelligence platform we use, is the means that allows an easy exchange of information with our clients: we can easily deliver timesheets and attach documents.
- The success of projects is supported by the assignment of roles based on RACI principles; in every project we identify the persons who are Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for each action. When those key roles are clear it is easier to achieve good harmony in project execution.
- Responsible: responsibility to perform a task can be shared.
- Accountable: the person who is ultimately accountable for a task performance is only one; has power of veto.
- Consulted: people to be consulted prior to a final decision or action being taken.
- Informed: people who need to be informed after a decision or action is taken.
- For us, Risk Management is a continuous process, not a spot intervention; we monitor technical risks, process risks and organizational environment risks in order to identify all possible hazards and mitigate them before they arise.
- Our Risk Management Plan consists in:
- Identify the factors that generate risks;
- Quantify: calculate the probability of adverse event occurring, multiplied by the cost of occurrence;
- Assign the risk ownership;
- Mitigate: decrease the probability of occurrence, reduce business impact;
- Monitor: issue tracking.
