Development Strategies

In the global software scenario, a great deal of the development work is done in different countries. The model of Offshore Product Development (OPD) seems difficult to manage to some technology companies for the following reasons:
  • Since by definition offshore developers are a long way away, there is often legitimate concern about the feasibility of managing an offshore development partner not in physical proximity.
  • Most offshore organizations favor the plan-driven approach, where detailed requirements or designs are sent offshore to be constructed, whereas product companies prefer to work on lean requirements.
  • Product companies face time-to-market challenges and favor light-weight methods for development.
PSI adapts its process models so that they can be applied in varying situations. To address the concerns above, our vast pool of software engineering process models are pre-configured for different methods, such as:
  • Rational Unified Process (RUP)
  • DSDM
  • Agile (including Model-Driven Software Development)
  • Extreme Programming (XP)
  • Feature and Test Driven development
  • Microsoft Solutions Framework
  • Scrum, etc.
PSI Quality Management System embraces these tailored process models, which are subjected to ISO and CMMi assessments periodically.
 
The product development process brings together several stakeholders: e.g. developers, managers, end-customers. They interact, understand and negotiate dynamic schedules, scope, changing/ new system specifications. We understand that you need to feel completely confident about your partner to outsource and offshore work so critical to your business. "How will we ever exert control over the remote operation?" is a question that we answer unequivocally.
 
We adopt best practices to keep ourselves honed to deliver Products:
  • Global resourcing: Hire talented people specifically for the Software and High Tech business, ensuring the best is available for the job. We also consciously position our HR philosophy as a key brand attribute and benchmark it.
  • Culture training: Ongoing training interventions foster teams that understand client teams, take complete ownership, and deliver quality software despite changing 'specs' to relentless deadlines. We 'attune' teams to deliver Products not IT projects.
Infrastructure: Enable teams with tools for end-to-end product lifecycle management.
