Discussion with stakeholders
Discussing with stakeholders helps to get into the problem they are going through, understanding their vision & operations and providing solution accordingly. Understanding the vision of the organisation is important to identify the processes and operations that would help achieve the business’ long term goals.
Understanding
Business Processes
Understanding the business processes helps to equip them with an authentic and suitable solution. Effective operations lead to improve organisation performance and increased results with minimum glitches.
SOPs
Getting to know the company’s SOPs helps prevent any distortions in the company’s protocols in order to provide the services. SOPs also help reduce human errors and lapses in judgement and makes the organisation process-driven.
Existing Software Solutions
Understanding the current web server and existing software is important to identify whether the current server and software fulfil the website requirement and whether they are properly managed and maintained; if not, it is imperative to work on them or change them completely to put a more suitable system in place. It helps to identify the root cause of the problem.
Target Market
Understanding the target market is necessary to provide personalised solutions depending on the target customers, which helps in faster business growth. This is the most efficient and affordable way to connect with the customer, increasing customer engagement, reducing bounce rate thus increasing customer retention and trust.
Scalability
Understanding the scalability helps to get an idea of the workforce and resources demanded based on the growing amount of work with the time and business growth.
Budget Discussion
It’s better to discuss the budget to provide the best available solution in the given budget range and reduce the probability of negotiations and disputes.
Requirement Gathering
Requirement gathering helps to understand the client’s needs and expectations and satisfying them with the best possible solution. Walking in line with the vision of the company is crucial.
