The beginning of a beautiful partnership

Let ProAce create a blueprint for the success of your project.

A major technology project is no easy task; there are multiple parties involved, and the work is spanned over months of planning, development, testing and support. Most contractors would never start a construction project without having an architect create a professional blueprint. Building a Web-based project requires the same planning and forethought.

Don’t become a statistic

  • 31% of all IT projects are canceled before completion*
  • 88% of all IT projects are over schedule, budget, or both*
  • For every 100 IT projects started, there are 94 restarts*
  • Average cost overrun is 189% of original estimate*
  • Average time overrun is 222% of original estimate*

Our team wants you to succeed. That’s why we put so much emphasis on the Discovery phase. We will help you to mitigate risk by ensuring a well planned project, accurate cost proposal, appropriate technology focus and  realistic milestones for measuring progress.

One of the biggest advantages of the Discovery phase is the ability to prototype your idea before jumping into a long-term engagement. ProAce uses a tool called Protoshare to quickly turn out interactive wireframes that illustrate our proposed solution. This process helps avoid any misunderstandings by letting you play with a visual representation of the project requirements. It is essential for keeping the team on the same page and agile development.

Freedom of choice

At the end of the Discovery phase, you will have a detailed blueprint for building your application. If you like, go ahead and shop it around to other consulting companies to see their prices. We want you to be comfortable with the amount of time and costs we have estimated.

Timeframe

The minimum Discovery phase lasts about two weeks. However, depending on the scale of your project, we may take more time to fully flesh-out the requirements. Please contact us if you have questions or are ready to kick-off you project.

A typical Discovery includes:

  1. Consulting

    Interview key project stakeholders including upper management, consultants, clients, and other users to discover key pain points and requests for system functionality

  2. Requirements

    Develop business and functional requirements

  3. Wireframe & Prototype

    Design a clickable wireframe that walks you through each feature

  4. Technology & Platform Decision

    Research and finalize the best tools and technology to use in order to speed up development keeping scalability in mind

  5. Product Roadmap and Timeline

    Milestone-based development timeline and categorization of requirements into phases

  6. QA Checklist

    Type and priority of quality assurance tests performed

  7. Project Bid and Timeline

    Confirm and deliver final project roadmap for smooth delivery including scope, milestones, timeline and budget documentation
