Pre-development stage of project development plan is one of the most important parts of the project that saves time and money on coding and testing. Our main goal is to understand client's needs as fully as possible. This prevents serious mistakes in functionality and reduces the cost and duration of the project.

From our experience we conclude that the best results can be achieved when following the steps listed below:

1. Specification development.
   At this stage we identify and detail the main requirements of the project. We grasp the main adjectives and sketch a brief project plan to comprehend the final solution to be accomplished by our team. Typically this project plan includes the structure of the database and general functionality of the project. This stage is the most important part of project development plan as it defines the product in its final stage of completion as well as its cost and time estimates. The client's view of the final product and client's description of the project are carefully recorded along with any possible comments, suggestions, desired options. No code is written at this stage of the project, but numerous questions asked and answered.
   
2. First draft design.
   As soon as we get a clear view of the main functionality of the system we create the first prototype of it. More concrete questions are asked regarding specific areas of the project.
   
3. Finalizing the working model and tuning it to the perfection.
   At this stage we finalize the project. This includes interface design and additional features.
   

The order in which the stages are defined may be changed depending on particular project. When designing relatively small projects, in most cases detailed description can be gathered in step one and finished product can be delivered in step two. On the other hand large and more complex projects may require additional development stages such as stress testing, compatibility tune-up and security certification.

The key advantage of this approach is its ability to entirely eliminate any flows in the systems structure which contributes to minimizing its cost and the time estimates. Complete understanding of all areas of the system allows us to create various numbers of accurate and flexible solutions to support complete functionality of the system. This also eliminates the need for post completion of the project that might arise as the business needs change.
