Activities of the project can be managed better if a plan is drafted out. The process of analysis will begin after the requirements of the project are well documented.
The scope of the analysis is made with an aim to achieve a successfully completed project. The analysis is a stage that involves multiple phases that are aimed at analysing the objective of the project.
A skilled business analyst will work on a 4 step analysis to build the scope of the project.
Step 1 – Discovering the requirements of the project
Step 2 – Drafting out the business rules
Step 3 – Developing business logic
Step 4 – Creating a proper blueprint
An early release of a product that focuses on testing the process that is specific to that particular product is termed as a prototype. The term prototyping is used in a variety of conditions including designs, semantics, software programming.
While working closely with the project, a simple experimental prototype that is built according to the requirements of the user will be released. This prototype will be built according to the inputs that are converged during the business analysis phase. At this phase, the user will be able to validate, refine and fully visualize the app before it is built.
A prototyping model involves the following
Requirements gathered during the analysis stage
A simple quick design
A prototype built alongside the gathered information
Initial elevation of the user
Refining the prototype
Implementation of the product
Based on the prototype, a user interface will be designed. Every user interface that is designed promotes the development of a product and improves the overall product management. There are three core elements that need to be considered while working on the design phase which are good branding, Usability of the app and Overall user experience of the app.
The design process is broken down into the following steps.
A keen study on the users brief
Research
Brainstorming of ideas
An initial sketch of the design
Development of the concept
Design revisions
Completion of the initial design
The development phase is another essential phase that is involved in product management. It involves a series of processes like design, implementation and maintenance of the system.
Keeping in mind the end goal to achieve an increase in the product management, the developers will code all the front-end and back-end functionalities in line with the inputs received during the analysis, prototype and design phase.
Generation
Screening of the idea
Concept testing
Business analytics
Tests
Product development and other technicalities
Review of the post-launch
The process of evaluating a system and the components involved in the system is termed as testing. This process focuses on satisfying the expected requirements of the user. Testing is executed to identify the gaps, errors or any other additional requirements of the user.
Human and machine tests will be executed to ensure the app incorporates the following core elements
Usability
Functionality
Performance
Compatibility
The process of testing involves the following
Planning
Creating scenarios
Preparing the test environment
Data creation
Running the scenarios
Reporting the results
Software tweaking is done to improve the performance of applications. This phase generally increases the usability in regard to personal configuration preferences.
This is the phase where any necessary tweaks or corrections can be made to optimize the app prior to the final launch. This phase will be executed only after feedback from the client or the test group.
Launching is a term that describes the implementation or the opening of a program or a task. Once the requirements pertaining to each of the steps are met, the final step is the launching of the product.
The application will be all set to launch once it has passed through the test and tweak phase. The application will be ready to go live on a production host environment as per the choice of the client.
Following is the checklist that needs to be met before the launch
Test the prototypes
Testing the potential users
Implementation of the analytics
Conducting a test
Working on the tweaks
Setting up a launch date
