DevelopJET – The Market Readiness Proposition

Every organization has success stories where Development Teams have performed commendable work when requirements have been clearly defined. But the new market dynamics forces software product companies to redefine their feature pack quite often. This makes clear cut definitions of Market needs difficult and makes it necessary for products to take the path a customer defined evolution. 

The Agile methodology has helped companies to build and grow products in an iterative model and works well with internal development teams. For an outsourced development (especially offshore) the agile model still faces stiff challenges when knowledge assimilation blocks and lack of team integration hamper successful sprint closures.  

While the aim is to achieve the optimum solution in managing a project; it is evident that the process needs to be very accommodative, flexible and most times customized for unique business needs.  

The driver of every project varies and each face unique challenges. From the visionary entrepreneur of a startup to the seasoned technologist and insightful business managers of large corporations, all have specific business or market need to address. But for everyone the time to market and Market Readiness of their product is a key ingredient for project success. 

DevelopJET as a process aims at addressing the challenges including Budget overrun, missed releases, inadequate test coverage and above all missed market and business opportunities and revenue all translated to missing the central goal of business “profitability”. 

Focusing on building products that are ‘Market Ready’ faster and on Budget, DevelopJET ‘Jet Starts’ a Product development initiative by creating customized and project specific models. Working closely with the stakeholders the process crafts a transparent environment in which the client team and the DevelopJET Team partner to collectively acquire knowledge, set deadlines, mitigate risk factors and develop, test and launch a product.  

Technical expertise can be bought off the shelf, but the process and success matrices have to be evolved and achieved for each unique customer and DevelopJET makes it possible. 

In the coming weeks we will explore the DevelopJET process to see how it addresses specific technologies niches.
