Our Delivery Approach
Prove Before You Move
When
Implementing New Technologies
-
Focus on using the tools and technologies you have access to rather than building or acquiring new ones
-
Keep it simple, less complexity, less customisation
-
Consistent, repeatable, proven, maintainable (healthy conflict with challenging the norm)
Just Enough, Just in Time
When
Delivering the Right Features
-
Keep it simple. Begin with the essentials
-
In keeping with an Agile approach, small increments of useful capability until reach a point where cost out-weighs value delivered
Bend, Buy, Build
When
Using SharePoint
-
Understand your technology platform before making major changes
-
Know what you can achieve out-of-the-box. Dont spend money on additional produces if you dont need to.
-
Check existing solutions before building your own. You might find something that saves you time and money.
-
Development should always be a last-resort when working with Software-as-a-Service
