Quadrant Assessment and Magic Cube
Anchored by an ex-financial broker with Series-6 License and equity-trading experiences, the Analysis Phase is highlighted by the Quadrant Assessment©, covering
- Industry trending vs. the economic cycle,
- Market positioning of the company
- Competitive (dis-)advantages of the product/services offering
- Underlining fundamental vs. financial performance
For specific operational applications and answers, Analyst Group seeks for the Magic Cube©, regarding
- Standard User, Recurring Assignments and Workflows
- Administrative Rights, User and Special Tasks
- Business Owner and Executive Reporting
The conclusion of the Analysis Phase is predicated upon four factors:
- The completion of a rigorously demanding and methodically disciplined examination process of the specific business needs and obligations that the IT-System targets and supports
- The derived, Business Analysis and Requirements Document
- Repeated tests and case simulations against real-world business decisions and processes, that are designed by the Business Owners, Organizations, User and Focus Groups (prelude of the User-Acceptance-Test Plan)
- Sign-off by the follow-on team responsible for the Functional Specification process and documentation, such as our Creative Design, Solution and Implementation
We choose to be convinced that the destiny of IT-Systems and Solutions are forged well before the Design, Programming/Coding and Implementation are even embarked upon, because we believe "An Information-System is only as good as the Business-Processes that it supports".
