Speedwell’s Project Planning Services
A Project Plan is the blueprint for each
Internet project. A well-documented plan typically accounts for 35-40%
of the time and effort involved in creating a website or application.
Good project planning is an essential part of any
development project, and will help you to increase:
- the return on investment on each project
- operational efficiency & effectiveness
- cost savings
- client satisfaction
- market share growth.
Project Plan Components
The Project Plan has three main components.
Business Analysis
The business analysis describes the
user requirements for the project web site and the functionality required
of the application, website or intranet in order to satisfy the client’s
return on investment criteria. These include:
a) business objectives
b) target
audience analysis
c) competitor
site analysis
d) structural parameters
e) creative brief
f) technology & security requirements
g) maintenance considerations
h) online marketing requirements.
Specifications
The specifications describe in detail how the application, website
or Intranet will work.
There are three types of specifications contained
in a project plan:
a) functional specification
b) technical specification
c) information architecture schemas.
Development Plan
The development plan sets out information that is critical to
running the project smoothly, including:
a) quality assurance and testing schedule
b) team responsibilities
c) reporting requirements
d) budget & production schedule.
How is a Project Quoted?
There are three ways to determine the
cost of an eBusiness project. Speedwell will help you to decide which
method suits you best.
Fixed Price
Speedwell can provide a fixed-price quote for the development
of a project once it has been specified. For this reason, project planning
is undertaken as a separate project prior to the site actually being constructed.
Time and Materials
An estimate is given up-front, and development costs are assessed
based on time recorded against the project.
Not-to-Exceed
Often, a project must fit within a pre-specified budget. The
project's scope is managed during the planning process to maximise functionality
for the price specified.
