Even with an existing formal software development methodology or process, most companies struggle with defining and rolling out the specific steps, practices, techniques, deliverable templates and guidelines to their organization. And in a lot of cases, the process may be well defined in certain areas but weaker on the topics of Requirements Elicitation or gathering the business or system requirements.

Our consulting and research staff has experience with hundreds of different methodologies and practices. And IAG has worked with organizations at all levels of maturity in their software development process. We start at the front-end of the SDLC, helping to select, define, implement and manage the practices, techniques and deliverables that will work for your different projects.

IAG stands apart in that we detail the specific (recommended and/or required) techniques, practices, procedures and work products.  We have helped dozens of organizations implement a practical and useable requirements methodology that shows IT practitioners specifically how to do their requirements by using a consistent and easy-to-follow process. And these clients have achieved significant performance breakthroughs by following their IAG-enabled Requirements Discovery Process.
