Tools and Deliverables

Since our approach to requirements is to stay clear, concise and thorough, our approach to tools and deliverables is no different. Our goal is to provide you with easy-to-read documents in a format you can steadily take ownership of and even eventually edit yourself. To this end, we deliver much of our documentation in MS Word or Excel format. Additionally, we use free, easy-to-download tools to create site and mind maps as well as Adobe Fireworks to produce wireframe diagrams. When designs are ready for your approval, we output JPEG files for easy consumption. MS Visio is often used for process flows and other similar diagrams. Widely-available tools provide universal formats and ensure smoother hand-offs.

Deliverables will vary from project-to-project. Common examples include site maps, robust user cases with integrated functional requirements and wireframe diagrams. However, your project type and scope may call for other deliverables such as business cases, financial models, data maps, data models, state diagrams, process flows or requirement traceability matrices. The possibilities are endless and we will advise you at the onset of the project which deliverables will most benefit your project and your bottom line.
