Scoping & Feasibility
Whether commissioned as the initial phase of our project lifecycle or as a separate and free-standing commission to enable you to explore the feasibility and practicality of your ambitions or your project, Powernet can work with you to produce a documented project blueprint.
The specification process delivers more than just a tightly defined, clearly specified statement of the scope, functionality, structure and presentation of a future project, although this is in its itself potentially invaluable: to build a complex e-business solution requires detailed, unambiguous planning and clear documentation that provides guidance and a road-map for the technical and design members of a development team.
The process itself can also deliver benefits that are less obvious, but no less real and just as valuable: by evaluating every possible aspect of a project - and the business to which it relates and on which it builds - potentially overlooked questions and issues can be addressed and resolved before production begins. Every business manager is aware of the risks involved in 'moving the goalposts': our specification process provides a way of ensuring that production starts with a clear view of the goalposts - and a stable design for the pitch.
To achieve the right result for you, Powernet always work closely with you, providing the support and expertise you require at every stage. We are also committed to helping you to understand the decisions and actions involved in creating the right solution for your company. But your own input is vital: you should take time to explain your processes and systems, and even your organisational culture, as this information will help to shape our understanding of your business, and inform our ability to maximise your investment. It will also help if you can identify major trading rivals or competitors, especially where they have their own web presence. If your e-business activities are to be competitive, your web site will need to deliver advantage over those of your main competitors.
You should also explain your longer-term plans and strategy, so we can make sure that any initial development provides an appropriate platform on which subsequent developments can be built. Wherever you're heading, we'll make sure your web site is the right place to start and your blueprint provides a route map to success.
