Methodologies

Based on the collective experiences of our staff, the Hedron Systems Methodology was put into practice to ensure that every project starts with a well defined course of action. How does it work? The Hedron Systems Methodology is a step-by-step process, with each step cycling into and building upon the other.

Along the way, our clients can expect to work with dedicated team members who are familiar with the project and can answer questions and deliver results. These team members include business development managers, project managers, developers, designers, and quality assurance specialists. Each team lends their skills and strengths to the Hedron Systems Technologies flow and it is this approach that enables us to provide our clients with the tools necessary to ensure their success in such a constantly changing medium.

The Hedron Systems Development Methodology is an approach to the entire SDLC that has been derived from 'best practices' over a number of years.

It is light-weight to avoid cumbersome overhead, and flexible enough to be adapted to a wide range of scenarios.

The Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) can take many forms. From the traditional 'waterfall' through to more rapid, iterative approaches and even Agile approaches, we can tailor a project plan to suit your needs and allow you to derive the most benefit from the engagement.

We typically begin a project by working closely with your business experts to ensure we clearly understand the business problems and what you are trying to achieve. We also recognize that business priorities and approaches may change over time, requiring a flexible approach to application design and development. Our skilled base of consultants have proven their ability to work in changing and uncertain environments.
