Our Process
One of the benefits that Crossroad brings to organizations is the ability to deliver solutions on-time and within budget using a proven process development lifecycle. We will help you define and develop your business solutions that directly relates to your bottom line.
 
Our model combines the best principles of two popular choices, the waterfall and spiral models. It derives the benefits of predictability from the milestone-based planning of the waterfall model, as well as the benefits of feedback and creativity from the spiral model.
 
The three distinctive features of our process are:
  • A phase and milestone-based approach
  • An iterative approach
  • An integrated approach to building and deploying solutions

 

 

Along with this proven process model, managing scope is critical for project success. Many software projects fail, are completed late or go dramatically over-budget due to poorly managed scope. Managing scope includes clarifying the scope early along with good project tracking and change control. Due to the inherent uncertainty and risk involved with scope in software projects, making effective trade-offs between Resources, Features and Schedule is key to success.
