Proven Methodology

Ensuring Successful Projects

One of the keys to successful software development efforts is to utilize a proven, repeatable framework to guide the process from inception to completion. The Buchanan Associates Solution Method has been developed based on industry standards and best practices gained through years of delivering application development projects. Our methodology consists of six phases that run in the following order: Discover, Design, Develop, Validate, Deploy, and Transition. Each of these phases has a defined set of milestones that must be reached before the next phase in the project may continue.

The Buchanan Associates Solution Method encourages proactive communication. Our project managers communicate project status, risks, issues, and changes to you on a weekly basis both via written reports and status meetings.

Managing and mitigating project risk is critical to the success of any project. The Buchanan Associates Solution Method takes a proactive approach to risk management. Our project teams follow a process that identifies and communicates risks, and develops action plans to mitigate risk.
