Business Process Engineering

web-based application development

In order to ensure a highly complex, integrated suite of on-line budgeting and forecasting applications met the financial requirements of the organization, CTA conducted extensive face-to-face interviews with all stakeholders. Using the information gathered during interviews, CTA developed a formal business workflow review to ensure not only were the functions of the applications well understood, but also organizational interpretations were consistent in terms of functionality and responsibility. These formal reviews provided the cohesion necessary to develop a set of detailed requirements specifications that form the foundation for the development life cycle.

Prototypes and mockups were developed throughout the process and presented to the business user community to ensure requirements interpretation was consistent between the end user community and the development staff. Future enhancements were handled in the same way with formal interviews, workflow clarification discussions, formal requirements specification reviews, and prototype and mockup presentations.
