1. Software Consulting
2. Avoiding Disaster

At different levels, experts with specific expertise will be involved, executing their knowledge to deliver fast, lean software solutions. Different companies can propose many different solutions to the same problem. The more complex the requirements, the greater the difference. A good consultant not only considers the cost and development requirements, but considers how the application will be rolled out and supported. How new updates will be released. The cost of development can often be overshadowed by the support and maintenance afterwards.

Improving on past experiences

If you have developed software in the past, at any level, ask yourself the following:

Assessing your development strategy

When you started out your development on day one, you would have had many of the following objectives/targets et:

The average for software completion times is often regarded as around a 100% budget and time overrun. At eScape, since implementing our own lean development model, we've learnt that software overruns occur because:

Which result in

Lack of experience in the subject matter is the most overlooked. If you are setting out to build a software project with programmers experienced in programming but have never built a software solution that is 80% similar to the system you are now setting out to achieve, then you are planning to fail. You would never build a car, an aeroplane, a building or a house without using someone who had been involved in a very similar project before and had received training this area.

The second is giving too much work to one team. Programmers are given too much to do. Projects must be broken up into small chunks that are incredibly simple. So simple that nothing can go wrong.

Why is this so important?

Depending on different industries, people have unique terminology to describe things. In a company entering stock control levels for products like building materials, a stock control form can be described very similarly as a form for entering stock control levels for a pharmaceutical company. The end result however is that the software form for the pharmaceutical company, while sharing many basic features, is going to be an awful lot more involved with proper audit trails, alerts, time rules for expiry dates of stock, FDA regulations and so forth.
