Product Design and Development
Encora recommends iterative/incremental development process using
Rational Unified Process (RUP) adopted to suit the existing development
methodology used by clients. RUP divides a product development
release in four phases (IECT):
- Inception
- Elaboration
- Construction
- Transition
Each of these phases have one or more iterations with committed
deliverables in form of a executable release of the system. RUP also defines the areas of work, known as disciplines,
that are carried out with different intensity during IECT phases:
- Business Modeling
- Requirements Management
- Analysis and Design
- Implementation
- Test
- Deployment
- Project Management
- Configuration and Change Management
- Environment
