Developments projects can broadly be separated into 4 phases:
Each phase contains essential processes that will come together to facilitate the effective operation of the new system. For more information continue scrolling down where we describe just some of the services we can offer in each Phase.
Before starting any project, it is essential to gather the requirements, understand the problems we are attempting to solve and what the objectives are.
At one extreme, perspective projects will be well prepared with a Business Requirements Document (BRD) and a detailed Technical Specification.
Conversely, where requirements are unclear or research and investigation is required, our consultants will advise an Agile approach or prepare a Discovery Phase.
During a Discovery Phase we work with our clients through a series of meetings and workshops to:
Developing a Proof of Concept (PoC) is an exercise in validating identified potential technical solutions. Proof of Concepts will be measured against a number of tests including:
Where multiple PoCs are developed they can be compared to find the most suitable solution considering all business factors.
Our Project Directors are available to advise our clients on how to complete their Business Requirements Documents and then to collate all the available information and research to help prepare the Technical Specification. These valuable documents will become as essential to the project as architect blue print plans are to construction.
During the planning phase our Project Director’s consult with our clients to discuss and agree the most appropriate methodology under which to work. Developing enterprise level projects requires the coordinated efforts of a diversely skilled team. It is therefore crucial to agree and implement a structured development approach. Our Advanced Development Projects are most commonly developed with one of the following methodologies:
Project Milestones will be agreed during planning to provide clarity of deliverables. Milestones will be set at specific points in time and used to measure progress and schedule significant events including:
Xanda have an extensive team of highly skilled and experienced technical resources. During the team selection process, we will recommend the resource allocation required to successfully deliver the project on time.
Our contracts team remain on call to ensure your agreement with us meets your own compliance or regulatory requirements.
For commercial products our marketing executives can be consulted to align the project with its launch and ongoing promotional campaigns.
The Development / Implementation Phase is where the developed plans are actioned and projects begin to take shape. Depending on the chosen methodology, this phase will often involve;
Our project managers will then define carefully managed sprints and timely releases of planned deliverables.
Projects are managed collaboratively between Xanda Project Managers and client representatives. Together they will oversee the implementation of project, ensuring transparency and dealing with any blockers that may manifest. Scrums will be arranged appropriately according to the methodology selected for the project and offer a platform for team members to discuss, where appropriate, progress, sprints, goals and issues.
Xanda’s Cloud Platform team have extensive experience in a wide range of Tech Stacks and supporting services, including but not limited to:
Post development projects will enter a carefully planned testing phase. These test plans will include:
Tests will be designed appropriately by Project Management according to the Technical Specification.
All testing will be executed and monitored before results are logged and reported.
Testing will continue as planned until approval metrics are met and the subject is accepted.
There is wide array of testing tools, techniques and systems that can be deployed, these include:
Once testing is completed Xanda will design and deploy a launch stragtegy. The project is now live!
Our Support & Maintenance agreements provide essential post-launch protection from defects, third party integration bugs, infrastructure related issues, performance variations, design glitches and general bugs that may arise from the ever-evolving digital environment.
Agreements are designed to meet client technical and regulatory requirements and will commonly include:
Xanda have been successfully delivering enterprise-level software development projects for over two decades for clients including The NHS, Apple, Vodafone, BNP Paribas and various national government agencies and regulators.
All our projects are designed, managed and developed in-house from our London HQ.
