Business Analysis for Custom Development
The Business Analysis phase of any software development project serves to identify and document the needs of the users and the business. Proper Business Analysis is critical to the success of all software development projects as it clearly outlines the requirements for the development teams and helps to set the expectations of users.
Goals & Benefits of Business Analysis
The work done during the business analysis phase ensures that functionality is divided into critical components and optional “nice to have” features. As business requirements are established they help identify milestones in the project and thereby enable for effective planning and accountability.
Industry Standard Processes
Caorda uses standards-based industry best practices in all aspects of business analysis as well as the design, development, and testing phases for your project. Our business analysis team employs Universal Modeling Language (UML) and object oriented analysis as the formal structure that guides the hands-on user interview process. These can include descriptive scenarios, use cases, activity diagrams, class diagrams and sequence diagrams.
Prototype Development
During the Business Analysis phase of larger projects, Caorda will work jointly with clients to develop application prototypes, which are screen mock ups with limited functionality. The prototypes help to ensure a consistent look and feel for the application and illicit responses from the users for nomenclature, program flow, and user interface design. In addition, prototypes can be used to help solicit feedback and impressions from staff and external stakeholders.
Go Beyond Meeting Your Needs
In addition, one of the most important aspects of the business analysis phase is that Caorda will assist clients to identify opportunities to introduce new or improved processes that may not have been previously considered.
This kind of value-added expertise takes our clients beyond finding solutions to their specific needs to finding solutions for doing business in a better, more profitable fashion.
