Accelerated Development

Symphony’s accelerated development process is a hybrid approach that blends the best practices of several SDLCs to ensure success of the product development. Symphony uses its proven frameworks to reduce design, development and implementation time for clients. The core philosophy of the accelerated development approach is to ensure that a working product with tangible functionality gets in the hands of end users. Depending on the requirements and product design, the development team will choose from a variety of proven options available to them including Symphony’s technology frameworks, third-party components and frameworks, a mash-up of existing components, or the development of features and functionality from scratch. Each decision is analyzed for total cost of ownership, time for development, and cost of quality. Symphony’s accelerated development is further characterized by iterations in which each cycle delivers a tangible set of completely tested and working features and functions. The goal is to provide transparency and control to the product owners, and—more importantly—to deliver tangible value at the end of each cycle. This also makes sure that the project progress in terms of “% complete” actually means something. This approach also facilitates early demo to the industry, peers and potential clients, which are typical demands of new products.
