TIME RELATED FACTORS
Time is a forward moving entity which we have no control over. Which is why, as much of it as we may have, it’s still slipping out of our hands. This is the reason, why companies need to consider time and other time related factors in order to create practical solutions, which solve problems when the solution is needed, not after.
REQUIREMENT GATHERING
With every solution’s development, the first step is always understanding the requirements of the client. This is especially crucial, since investing all the time and coming up with a solution that doesn’t solve the problem down the road is not just frustrating, it leaves solution providers with a bad name and the clients with in a tough spot.
ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT
The development phase of any and every solution requires time. With a team of humans who have to sit down and develop the solution from the ground up, each solution’s development has a time frame, and if the situation is mission critical, the time needs to be utilized effectively. This is why, planning and strategizing are so important for the timely and practical development of a solution.
DEPLOYMENT
A solution tested and checked for vulnerabilities still needs implementation. It still requires deployment at the clients end. Without the deployment, what was the purpose of developing the whole solution. That said, the deployment of a system, whether piloting or in one go, will always require some time to roll out. This is a time frame that needs to be considered heavily, since this is the point moving forward from which there is literally no coming back.
