Project management in web development is the main process that organizes the work load and ensures the timely delivery of results. At Sacramento Design Network we have the knowledge and expertise to handle software project management from beginning to end, for any business size and profile.
Online software project management for any business
No matter how big or small your business is, we will build the right online project management program for you. We will start with defining your objectives and then we will establish the resources needed to accomplish each stage of the process.
Together, we will create a detailed online project management road map to success. The web development features, the project’s architecture and its desired results will be planned for and outlined. If a complex project is being planned for, we will provide the right online project management tools to handle big amounts of data or groups of features (such as shopping carts in ecommerce applications or other custom web applications).
This way, the online project management solution we devise together will provide a complete and in-depth guide for our web development team to get started on doing the code work, for our web design team to start creating and for our internet marketing team to start strategizing for future communication campaigns.
Project management is also we approach on phase-basis, meaning that we break down the entire process into stages:
- research
- design
- development
- testing
- deployment
- monitoring and fine tuning.
Each of these stages in the online project management program has its own goal and its own set of unique characteristics. We will document every step we take, so that, upon deployment, you can benefit from a complete guide to how the project was built, how it works and how it can be scaled. We will include technical details and scope of the project, so that the information is transparent and useful.
As our client, you will have to sign off the completion of each stage of the software project management, so we can make sure that everything has been built to the approved upon standards and requirements.
Added benefits of an online project management program
In project management, three of the most important phases to dedicate the right amount of resources to complete are the research phase, the planning and the testing phase. Great research on the right resources to use, competition research and gathering insights, both technical and creative, is what ensures that the work load will be planned and carried on efficiently. Good planning in online software project management can save you time and money, because you will not have to go back and redo parts.
Testing is, of course, crucial to the project’s success, because it makes sure that the code will be perfect and no bugs will hinder the end users. We use high end online project management tools, such as automatic testing suites, available for all programming languages – PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, .NET or Python – and manual testing by real users. As our client, your input into the software project management process is essential and we will always include your professional insights related to your business to improve our work.
We also propose a visual identity guide – in the form of a brand book – and a coding guide to be created in the ongoing project management stage, so that other parties involved in the project can know how to proceed in the future. For example, a brand book can be very useful to offer pointers on how your logo or other visual elements related to your brand can be used on channels that you do not own (by bloggers, journalists, partners, etc.).
In order to keep your data safe while implementing the online project management solution, we will also use version control, and back up every stage we complete. This is done to ensure that no errors can occur, such as accidentally deleting or overwriting the code. A solution such as this also makes it simple to create remote backups and remote deployment for testing purposes.
Our purpose in online project management is to reduce time to market, to keep everything organized and to increase efficiency. That is why we will always establish clear deadlines, which you will sign off in order to make sure all your expectations and exigencies are met.
Online software project management at Sacramento Design Network also includes support after deployment, according to you needs, so that we can monitor and fine tune your custom web application for you.
