Process
3PT has developed a methodology that provides four distinct steps in a software development project. The process provides appropriate controls and measures without stopping the evolution of requirements, nor killing off creativity or innovation in the solution.

Stages of Development

Inception - This phase captures the essence of the project by producing a scope document that is agreed to by all parties.

Elaboration - This phase builds upon the scope document from the previous phase and includes the start of design activities such as database schemas and screen mock-ups.

Construction - This is the ‘code-cutting’ phase where the solution is constructed. Depending on the size of the project, there may be a series of prototypes created to ensure the customer and development team are in harmony.

Deployment - This final phase includes acceptance testing by the customer. Data conversion and deployment activities including post implementation review close out the methodology.
