Successful Projects Start with a Well-Defined Process

I follow a disciplined incremental software development process to create successful projects:

1. Chunk project into small projects.
2. Interview client to understand project goals.
3. Write project specifications* and have client review and approve.
4. Create storyboards of web pages and have client review and approve.
5. Design and develop software and have client test and approve.
6. Repeat with next small project until complete.

See Keys to Successful Projects for more information.

*Robert Glass reports in Software Runaways, Lessons Learned from Massive Software Project Failures, that 51% of projects failed due to poor or nonexistent project specifications.

I have taken over two very large complex botched web projects and redesigned and recoded them. The first web application was so poorly coded that the client could not use it. I redesigned and recoded his web application and he now makes high six figures using the web application I created for him.

Robert Glass states in Software Runaways, Lessons Learned from Massive Software Project Failures" that 42% of projects fail due to lack of senior staff.

I have over 30 years experience in software development.

Do you have questions concerning:

• What technology your current web site uses.
• The quality of the code of your current web site.
• The best technology to select for your web site.
• How to approach developing software for your site.

Prospective clients have said this to me about other developers:

• "We have hired multiple programmers to build our website. The first programmer was overseas, so we had a difficult time coordinating with him. The second programmer was more interested in doing what he wanted to do rather than what we wanted him to do....Thus far we have spend over $3,500 on our website and still, as you can see, our site looks cheesy and it's prone to many problems that need to be reworked."



• They went through 6 developers and none of them did a good job and the project still needs to be done.



• I went through 12 developers to find two developers who might be good.



• From an owner of a design firm: The client outsourced the project to offshore developers. The 1st developer took the client's money but did no or little work on the project. The succeeding developers created poorly functioning code.



• The developer "flaked out" and doesn't return my phone calls or emails.
