Case Study

Problem
Deadlines are not being met.

Analysis
After analyzing he situation, it was clear that the reason behind the inability to meet deadlines was the absence of a system for allocating and keeping track of task.

Solution
We started researching methodologies for describing and documenting the system in a clear unambiguous manner. We then delivered seminars to the whole team on such methodologies and their basic concepts. Next, we started implementing such concepts in the project. An agile methodology was followed for developing, documenting and keeping track of the project progress.

Results
Deadlines were met within a much narrower margin. Project was delivered on time. A bonus was that developers were less anxious during development as the path was much clearer in front of them. We also got productivity increases as a result of the added clarity of the project components, enhanced communication and reduced time had previously been wasted in redesigning parts of the projects that did not fit with other parts due to absence of comprehensive planning before starting on the development phase.
