Specifications can also be created from an existing product that you wish to reengineer. The resulting specifications can then be improved by you, according to new needs or requirements.

Building the specifications

Working with you on specifications is a natural step. The specifications you provide, as complete as they seem are rarely sufficient to develop an application immediately.

We can propose several types of services:

- Work with companies specialized in formalizing specifications
- Complement vision or requirements documents; assist in the production of specifications (use-cases)
- Creation of specifications based on an existing product (reverse engineering)
- Analyze specifications to solve ambiguities and contradictions
- Build analysis diagrams and complement use-cases
- Build test scenarios for acceptance test
- Help to build software development plans and software architecture design

For some types of contract for an outsourced project, as for any fixed fee project, it is necessary to have the exact specifications which are the base of the agreement. In such cases, it is very important to spend all necessary time to make sure that the product that results from the specifications is really what you expect. We can help you to finalize such documents and raise all the points that could later lead to possible problems.

We understand that most often the specifications are key to the success of outsourced developments. We can adapt to any situation. For large projects, the specifications are rarely entirely available before the project starts. The specifications are produced on time while the project is progressing. We can adapt to every situation and help you to manage the specifications creating along with the progress of the project.

 Communications

In any type of organization, the main risk with delocalized development is that nobody can answer questions related to the specifications at your company. The distant project manager may answer by himself to unresolved questions, leading to wrong choices, and developments. You must be prepared to make decisions quickly. We can help you to organize such process efficiently and we can notify you of any communication issues on that topic.
