Thorough assessment of company needs
The first step in project planning is to gather the expectations of the employees, because the complex system improvements that are in the pipeline will also affect the daily operation of the company. For the construction team, both negative and positive experiences with the software used so far are useful, because with a comprehensive knowledge of the needs, the project can also be implemented more accurately.
AP4 DIGITAL Tip:Since complex system development involves not only time but also material investment, it is worth conducting market research at the beginning of planning, because early application of the latest efficiency technologies can pay off many times over.
Choosing an experienced team
Since complex system development involves not only time but also material investment, it is worth conducting market research at the beginning of planning, because early application of the latest efficiency technologies can pay off many times over.
Custom system development is best done with a cohesive team, because
●colleagues know each other's strengths, therefore, each sub-task is guaranteed to be dealt with by experts in the field,
●employees are in daily contact, therefore, the execution will also be smoother,
●the experienced manager can give you a quote even after the first meeting, which can be used to map how long it will take for the investment to pay off,
●ideas that arise in the meantime can also be incorporated into the original design at any time, therefore, the integrity of the system will not be damaged.
Building a database for custom system development
It is useful if the details of employees and their rolesthey are already completed before the start of the individual system development, because the desired permissions can be allocated more precisely on this basis.
It is important that in order to plan complex system development, the company also provides the necessary information, data and flow charts for everyday work processes to the contractors, because in this way the functions of the software can be built more logically.
Mapping potential integrations
When planning a complex system development, it is also necessary to collect the software that the company wants to continue to use in parallel with the new system, because this way the integrations will be ready for use even before sharpening.
At this stage of design, it is also worth thinking about the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, because modern automations can perform monotonous work processes up to 24 hours a day and every day of the year.
Designation of key people in complex system development planning
Regular contact between contractors and customers is essential in individual system development.
For the role of a liaison when planning a complex system development, a department manager who has been working for the company for many years, oversees the tasks of other departments and/or is in contact with their managers is the most ideal.
Choosing the most effective methodology
At AP4 Digital, together with the client, we select the methodology that fits the current project. For planning complex system improvements, we recommend the agile methodology, because flexible, parallel processes can be modified at any time, so the software can be completed sooner.
Although the linear structure of the waterfall model is simple to follow, it is worth avoiding in complex system development, because the steps that build on each other can delay the sharpening of larger projects.
Whichever methodology is the winner, AP4 Digital already documents the planning of individual system development projects, so that the code being created will be guaranteed to be transparent during subsequent routine maintenance and possible extensions.
Contractor side of complex system development planning
After collecting the information, the task of the custom system development team is to schedule the steps of the project taking into account the ideal deadline for the client.
Finally, the developers select the tools to support the backend system, the programming language, as well as develop the initial version of the UI/UX designs and specification documents.
Entrust the design and implementation of the complex company system to the experienced team of AP4 DIGITAL.
