COMAND Solutions

The Project Lifecycle

A proven process to take projects from concept to reality.

Company

COMAND Solutions tackles every project with our proven five-phase approach called The Project Lifecycle. We take the time to understand your company's needs and research your existing resources then take that information and plan for implementation. The result is a customized content management solution that meets the demands of your business with on-going support you can rely on.

The Project Lifecycle allows us to cultivate a collaborative relationship with our clients. Each phase of The Project Lifecycle results in a deliverable for review, feedback and ultimate approval. Only then do we proceed to the next phase.

plan

Phase 1: Plan

The first phase of the The Project Lifecycle is a period for research and discovery to establish your objectives. An accurate and detailed project plan that includes objectives, the proposed solution, timeline and cost estimate is presented at the end of this phase. 

design

Phase 2: Design

Design mockups are created and a prototype is built based on the information gathered and agreed upon in Phase 1. Static design mockups composed by the designer, including page layouts, design components, icons and more, are presented for review, feedback, and final approval. Once approved, the static designs are developed into a prototype that allows you to interact with the website or system prior to implementation.

build

Phase 3: Build

After the prototype is approved, developers and programmers begin implementation. This is where things really start to take shape. Features and functionality outlined in the project plan are built into an elegant content management system. At the end of this phase, a fully-functional staging site is delivered.

launch

Phase 4: Launch

Prior to taking the project live, an experienced trainer provides documentation and instruction on loading content and managing the system. Once content loading is complete, the system is reviewed, and final approval is given for launch.
