Application development methodologies

To develop the best quality application, at BlueLine we have certain processes in place. These processes are at the heart of our project management methods.

Key Process Area	Purpose
Requirements management	Establish a common understanding between the customer and software project team about the customer's requirements.
Software project planning	Establish reasonable plans for software engineering and overall project management.
Software project tracking and oversight	Provide adequate visibility into actual progress so that management can act effectively when the software project's performance deviates significantly from the software plans.
Organization process focus	Establish organizational responsibility for software process activities that improve the organization's overall software process capability.
Training program	Develop individual's skills and knowledge so they can perform their roles effectively and efficiently.
Integrated software management	Integrate the software development and management activities into a coherent, defined software process.
Inter-group coordination	Establish a way for the software development team to participate actively with project managers and customers so that the project can effectively and efficiently satisfy customer needs. Continual communication with the customer and among the team is the key.
Peer reviews	Remove defects from the software work products early and efficiently. An important corollary effect is to develop a better understanding of the software products and the preventable defects.
Quantitative process management	Quantitatively control and performance of the software project's process. Software process performance represents the actual results achieved from following a software process.
Software quality assurance	Provide management with appropriate visibility into the product and the software process.
Software quality management	Quantify the quality of the project's software products and achieve specific quality goals.
Defect prevention	Identify the cause of defects and prevent them fromrecurring.
Process change management	Continually improve Blueline's software quality, increasing productivity, and decreasing the product development cycle time.

BlueLine works through a unique iteration based model. BlueLine will provide a free-of-charge prototype to its customers.

The project manager will meet with the customers on site to gather the requirements, define scope of the project and acquire on site customer knowledge. Customer sign off on the requirements document will be obtained.
Milestones and phases of the project will be identified by the project management team.
At this point the requirements will be finalized through the technical team.The Development team will be formed to work on that specific project and the team will work under the supervision of the project manager.
The Development office will do the programming, system testing, unit testing and documentation.
Customers will be notified regarding the status on a daily/weekly/biweekly basis depending on the customer preference. A web repository for coding will be used. The Project manager as well as customers will have access to it to see the progress of the project.
After the application development is complete, the development team will transfer the application through a secured web link to test servers.
BlueLine's onsite team will install the application on the customer's site.
