Making Offshore Outsourcing Work

Achieving ROI with stpsoft

The CHAOS Study

 

 

 

stpsoft specialise in the requirements and analysis phase of software or systems projects. Our consultants are proactive in implementing a mentoring and skills transfer program for requirements best practise which is tailored to each client.

The niche expertise of our consultants contributes to the shape and direction of our software requirements products. These products have yielded substantial cost savings for our clients.

We have helped teams as diverse as those with few or no standards, to those teams seeking to tighten and improve an established process. Our strength lies in our ability to leverage the best from industry standards (such as UML) by proposing a pragmatic and results driven approach that does not alienate end-users.

Our Team

Our team of professional consultants have a deep understanding of the issues faced by our clients, having spent many years in the fields of programme and project management, and business and systems analysis. The team take pride in their ability to offer pragmatic solutions to real problems, and hence view themselves as practitioners rather than as simply consultants.

Our consultants have a sound understanding of the leading software and systems development methodologies, and are able to provide independent advice on the strengths and weaknesses of the various methods. Moreover, they are able to review a clients process and recommend a best of breed approach integrating industry best practise with the clients strengths.

Our Approach

Our goal is to equip our clients with a framework and the skills to capture and manage requirements effectively through improving the way they currently work. Our approach is driven by this goal. The approach ensures that there is stakeholder commitment for change, that the change is realistic and that the change is lasting.

Each improvement programme is tailored to the needs of the client and usually involves the following activities:

Initiation - Establish and share the programme vision, objectives and parameters with all stakeholders.
Discovery - Review current software development process to identify strengths and improvements, primarily focussing on project initiation, requirements and analysis.
Implementation - Mentoring and skills transfer through either hands-on project involvement or discrete process improvement workshops.
Review and Feedback - Periodic reviews to assess the effectiveness of process improvements and to identify areas that need fine-tuning.
