Summit follows a strict development life cycle that includes
the client throughout the entire process to insure success.
Focus
On Working Closely With Business Stakeholders
Collaborate with others to achieve
their goals. Communication is critical to success. Summit
includes all business stakeholders
in the process from the beginning to end.
Embrace
Change, Don't Fight It
Change – truly new requirements, an improved understanding of
existing requirements, or new/improved technologies – is a
cold, hard reality that all projects face. Summit accepts
that changes happen and finds ways to become efficient at
responding
to them.
Customer
Oriented
The customer is the single most important part of our business model. It is crucial to provide complete client satisfaction, through both producing the best product possible, and placing critical importance on client service.
Constantly
Ask If There Is A Better Way
Those that refuse to change are often left behind. Summit avoids this by consistently improving both techniques and technology to further the quality of the products delivered to the client.
Develop
Software Iteratively
Requirements will often change throughout a project's development, due to architectural constraints, customer's needs or a greater understanding of the original problem. Iteration allows the project to be successively refined and addresses a project's highest risk items as the highest priority task.
Manage
Requirements
Summit is extremely concerned with meeting the needs of end users by identifying and specifying what they need and identifying when those needs change. The benefits include the following:
- The correct requirements generate the correct product; the customer's needs are met.
- Necessary features will be included, reducing post-development cost.
Verify
Software Quality
Summit builds quality into the entire development process, involving all members of our team. No worker is specifically assigned to quality: Every member of the Summit team is responsible for quality during the entire process.
