Fending Group has flexible offerings that serve many project-based organizations. Our process-based approach to development is best represented by our primary services, which reflect the firm's core competencies.
When initiating a project, a thorough analysis of your current and desired states discovers a great deal about gaps in business process, risks posed to your organization, and finally the framework for a technical solution, if any. It's important to remember that most technology problems have business process problems at their core; it is necessary to challenge assumptions to arrive at a solution that moves the organization forward, something Fending Group does every day.
Once a little prototyping or detailed modeling has taken place, we can start to apply some of the process-centric principles of project management. Very quickly, those outlines turn into a full-fledged plan for accomplishing the project mission, complete with resource gap analysis, work breakdown structure, and milestones to keep your project on track. [While not typical, Fending Group can provide Project Management as a Service (PMaaS) to technically lead and project-manage a company's internal resources.]
Application development in a dynamic business environment is a tricky thing. Fending Group ninjas will never take a "say no first" stance on feature requests, but will rather respect that assumptions need to be challenged as they're identified. This iterative approach fundamentally leads to better software, and solutions that work.
Lastly, one often forgotten or disregarded feature of a custom development project is training and documentation. Our developers are required to use a "document as you code" philosophy. While most training can be assembled after the fact with considerable effort, our framework approach allows for agile training development and documentation that mirrors our developers' practices. Of course, maybe all you need is a training plan and a few onsite classes. We can do that, too.
