When application engineers and project managers are all working from a common base of methods and processes, misunderstandings, miscommunications, and mistakes are minimized. Consistency You expect quality, efficiency, and predictable and definable results from your application. Your application engineer should be able to demonstrate similar results using the same rigorous processes developing other applications for other clients. In fact, much of the beauty of adaptive rigor lies in the high level of consistency attainable through proven processes and common standards. Because the resulting application fails to satisfy client requirements.
Reasons vary, but mainly revolve around disconnects between expectations and performance.
Adaptive rigor in a standardized methodology avoids such disconnects by using an iterative approach that keeps the project on track and focused. While on the fly development may get applications done quickly, the iterative approach makes sure your applications meet current and future requirements and business goals. Managed Costs Failed projects are heavy drains on investment dollars as well as resources. Adaptive rigor methodologies keep the focus on outcome and expectations, and follow a development strategy that details the costs along the way. No surprises, either in budget or resource allocation, which translates into managed costs and predictive returns on investment.
