Kiev Software Factory, Ltd. proposes the following employment schemas for on
time, on spec, on budget delivery of projects:
 Full
Offsite
Full offsite schema implies that all the project activities (including
business analysis, requirements collection, etc.) are performed remotely.
Both parties stay at their locations and communicate by means of
phone, instant messengers, email, etc
 Advantages |
| Lower costs (no extra traveling and accommodation
costs) |
| The customer has control over all processes and can
apply any kind of polices on information flows |
|
| Drawbacks |
| Usually, no direct access to target organization
(the source of demand) for KSF analysts |
| Stronger formalization of interaction between Kiev Software
Factory, Ltd. and the customer |
| Deeper involving of the customer into technical details
of the project (usually customers assigns a full time project
manager/coordinator on his side) |
|
Full offsite schema perfectly fits small- and medium-sized projects,
where requirements are quite clear and target organization does not
require deep analysis.
Part Offsite
Part offsite presumes that part of the project activities is performed at
the customer's site. Typically, onsite work is reasonable in the initial stages
of the project: inception and elaboration (problem area investigation, requirements
collection); and on the final stage (beta release and final release installation,
user's reply processing, technical support).
| Advantages |
| Ability to thoroughly analyze the target organization
and collect detailed business and technical requirements |
| More project-related tasks (routine documenting, collaboration
with technical staff of customer, technical support) may
be completely moved to Kiev Software Factory, Ltd |
| Face-to-face communication advantages are fully employed |
|
| Drawbacks |
| Obligatory traveling |
| On site accommodation |
|
We recommend part onsite activities for large-size long-term projects.
