The Koda methodology utilises an iterative process, we determine the functional requirements of the project during our initial consultation, we know however that sometimes these will change as a deeper understanding of the business need is gained, by allowing some flexibility with requirements definition we are able to align our efforts closely with our customers expectations.

The key aspects of the Koda build life cycle are defined in more detail below.

Plan

The key to the successful delivery of any project is the development of a suitable plan. The planning phase at Koda Web involves a number of key tasks:

  • Requirements Definition
    Using the initial proposal document, the detailed requirements of the project are defined. The feature list developed during this phase forms the scope for development.
     
  • Timeline
    Based on the agreed scope a development timeline is established with the client, the timeline takes into consideration capacity of the client to provide input (in the form of feedback and content) as required, as well as the time required by Koda to design, develop and deliver the agreed functionality
     
  • Milestones
    As part of the timeline development key project milestones will be established with the client, milestones provide all stakeholders with firm dates on which certain features and deliverable commitments will be met. They allow both the client and development team to remain focused on the delivery goals.
     
  • Content Plan
    As part of any website development, particularly new projects, the requirement to produce content ready for loading within the site is a core requirement. While this is generally the responsibility of the client, the team at Koda are able to offer their expertise particularly in the way content is structured to allow optimisation in search engine

Deliver
