The development process at Global1Media is a highly evolved discipline. The project management and delivery process has been improved and standardized over time to best augment the nature of a project. The methodology for development projects in our company takes into account these factors while choosing the appropriate development model for any client’s development project. While these development models are chosen chiefly depending on time availability and resource allocation expectations of the client company, the usual pattern of project management and delivery follows these stages of evolution: -: Concept Definition It all begins with a meeting. We listen to the client's ideas and objectives, evaluate the project's difficulty, and submit a proposal. The proposal provides a general overview of the solution Global1Media will provide, as well as an estimate of the total cost. Requirements Gathering Using the initial proposal as a framework, we begin filling in the details of the application's design. We develop use cases to describe the program's functionality, evaluate our implementation technology options, and develop a "look and feel" for the application. Functional Specification Once we have an in-depth understanding of the project requirements, we create a document which includes an estimated schedule for project milestones, a list of specific technologies to be used, a description of the hosting environment, and other relevant details. Our developers will use this document as a "blueprint" while building the application, and the client will use it to evaluate the product during the beta testing phase. Implementation At this point, the project is clearly defined, and the actual programming begins. The developers follow the specification closely, implementing small pieces of the program's functionality and testing them individually before moving on to the subsequent pieces. This style of development is remarkably fast, and leads to a final product that precisely matches the client's specifications. Post-Project Debriefing We conduct a final meeting with the client. This is a chance for the client to ask any last-minute questions about the service, and for us to evaluate the effectiveness of the development process.
