What is a Methodology?
A methodology is a set of processes and document templates including both management and technical elements that IT professionals use to assist in the creation of quality applications.
Why Should We Use a Methodology?
At Lancet, we know that teams who utilize a methodology give their projects a greater chance of success because of the many benefits a methodology provides. Methodologies provide evidence of deliverables, requirements, and decisions, and provide a means for knowledge transfer for their continuation by new team members. At Lancet, we use a methodology to help us create the best products for our customers in the shortest amount of time.
Lancet Uses a Methodology to Achieve Success Through:
- Synchronized, consistent and effective communication with our customers
- Enhanced product quality through customer focused development
- Improved control over project schedule
- Planned customer acceptance and sign off
- Reduction in repeated work
- Risk management
