Study of Solution Development Methodology for Small-Size Projects

Solution development projects for medium-size and small-size system integration or IT Solution Company are usually shot-term and small budget so that they need slim and light-weight solution development methodology. But usual medium-size and small-size system integration or IT Solution Company do not have their own appropriate solution development methodology. Thus, if those kinds of solution development methodologies are applied to solution development projects for medium-size and small-size system integration or IT solution company without some modifications, shortage of human resources, incompleteness of solution and deliverables could arouse. The authors analyze the previous solution development methodologies and derive mandatory deliverables and optional deliverables. Before deriving them, they define procedures and tasks for each project stages which are necessary to projects team and clients, from client and expert of interviews. The proposed solution development methodology can easily leverage the development overhead of short-term projects. Optional deliverables can be omitted by the contraction between project team and client.
