Phase 2: Development & Review

Phase 2 marks our transition into full-blown project development. Taking what we've established and solidified from Phase 1, we will have a nearly complete picture of how the final application should function and operate. While certain shifts in approach may arise during this phase, all elements described in the Business Requirements and Statement of Work documents will be developed fully by this stage.

Client feedback will also be solicited throughout this process by the Project Manager to ensure interface elements are being designed appropriately and logically and that all users are on the same page throughout the development process.

Phase 2 proceeds as follows:

• Configure and secure servers & platform software
• Install all necessary third-party software
• Setup Canopy framework for project deployment
• Create Subversion Repositories for development
• Create Issue Tracker instance for project
• Concurrent Development by
  • Model
    • Implement Database Schema
    • Create Model Classes
  • Controller
    • Build Logic Components
    • Build Object Classes
  • View
    • Design User Interface
    • Create Layout Mockups
• Repeat process for all components of project according to milestones and assigned tasks
• Unit test each component
• Client interaction: review progress and determine project scope is being met for each component
