Clarity utilizes several tools to monitor and manage the project from start to finish. These are our tools of choice: Basecamp (communication) Lighthouse (ticketing system) GoToMeeting (screen sharing) Team Foundation Server (version control) Camtasia (screen capture) EasyProjects (automated time log reports) Our team of seasoned developers leverages these tools of choice to enable real-time collaboration and communication, largely eliminating the need to travel or go onsite. In addition to our development team we also assign a project manager and a Client service contact to your project. These additional team members will assist with communication and accountability internally at Clarity to ensure our team stays on track by reviewing in our internal weekly and daily reviews of your project. We begin the project with a client orientation meeting. This allows the Client to meet our team and provide in-depth project details and answer specific questions our team may have before getting started. We will introduce the above tools to the Client team and designate specific dates for each milestone (and will incorporate “padding”) to ensure a successful launch timeline. Following the client orientation meeting, we will schedule on-going project check-in meetings. These meetings provide timely project updates that allow you to keep tabs on completion status, progress, and hours used to date just to name a few. Typically we will hold these either two or three times a week given the timeline requirements. Clarity will ensure that the Client development site is live and testable as early as the first week of the development project. The Client team will be able to monitor Clarity’s progress on the project through a live development website. We believe in quickly getting potential users in front of the application and fielding feedback. That’s where all these great tools come in. The Client project will require a significant focus on detail to ensure that all the feedback and suggestions are incorporated into the final result. With the Lighthouse ticketing system, Basecamp communication, and GoToMeeting to share screens and hold conference calls, Clarity will deliver a complete project management solution to the Client.
