Definitive Quality Solutions - Process

Despite heralding an in-depth level of data warehouse expertise, Definitive Quality Solutions rely on an extensive delivery lifecycle model, in order to apply that expertise to the real-world challenges discovered in business today.

The delivery model, as shown to the left, is reviewed at each phase by a series of quality gates, to ensure that time and resource is not wasted, or functionality lost between phase-transition. This model, though rigid by necessity, allows an iterative approach, thus ensuring delivery can continually evolve without losing quality.

• Startup - the success of a project largely relies on a clear scope, defined roles & responsibilities, and agreed approach.
• Requirements - specific requirements are gathered from the pre-ordained stakeholders.
• Functional Design - High level design or "what we're going to build".
• Technical Design - Low level design or "how we're going to build it".
• Build - following the technical design with any necessary deviations recorded in a build journal to ensure full documentation of the construction phase.
• Test - rigorous test schedules ensure quality before going live.
• Deploy - plans and communication are essential to a successful implementation.
• Review - all projects have lessons learnt. Review these in order to feed back in to the delivery model process and ensure continual quality improvement.
