Is it legal to use offshore programmers? |

How to submit a project request? |
| |
|
It’s easy! You simply have to fill out a project request. Once you have submitted the form our Business Development Manager would get in touch with you for further discussions. Anytime during this process you are welcome to contact Scorpos Corporate Services for an update on the status of your request. | |
|
|
|
Must I first write a complete Spec? |
| |
|
No, your time is too valuable! Please, write a Specification (Spec) for one component of your project. It does not need to be detailed. Our developers and analysts can then begin the development of this component with your help and clarifications and their own logical abilities. During the development of this component you may be in the process of writing up a Spec for the next component. Thus, this allows beginning project development without the necessity of a complete Spec. This is so called “iterative” development approach, which proved its effectiveness especially for Internet projects.
From the process point of view initiation of the projects looks like the following:
- You send us project request with rough specifications or draft Project Vision document. It is not necessary for you to provide us with the specs from the engineering point of view. You are free to provide specs either for full system, or just for part. And assigns sales manager to work with you.
- S/he will develop a Vision document presenting a common point of your and our understanding of the new project. It is recommended that Vision document should include description of the business case for the new project. This helps very much for our developers and analysts to understand your problem more deeply. Sometime this may lead even to reformulating the problem statement based on our business recommendations.
- You approve this Vision if you agree that it is a correct understanding.
- Based on this Vision we make preliminary estimations for the project and prepare the Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) Document.
- “(SRS) Document” is detailed understanding of the system to be developed. “(SRS) Document” includes
- Functional requirements (i.e. description of functions and user roles to be supported by the developed system);
- and Non-functional or Supplementary requirements (for example, security restrictions, compatibility requirements, maintenance, third party software like database management systems to be used)
- You review the (SRS) Document and approve them as they become ready.
- If you agree with the schedule and price estimation there are two options for further process:
- Fixed price: “Requirements” are baseline. This means that all price, schedule and requirements changes are forbidden from this point. All changes will be allowed only after the first release or only after mutual agreement of both sides.
- Time-and-material (the most common approach): usually our customers wish to keep the right for proposing changes during the development. In this case we provide an option for developing the project on Time-And-Material basis. This is useful for
 quick projects, when time to market is crucial;
 iterative projects, when the Customer wants to receive regular often deliverables and propose changes based on the results of the previous milestone.
- In this case we recommend you to clarify with our Business Development Manager for making changes to the project. Scorpos Corporate Services has special change management tools.
- Usually we agree on monthly invoicing.
| |
|
|
|
Will I be provided with a schedule and time estimate? |
| |
You will be provided with a schedule upfront. If this estimate includes parts that you feel are unnecessary or irrelevant, you should express your concerns to your programming team and the schedule shall be amended to meet your needs. | |
|
|
|
What if I am not satisfied? |
| |
|
If you are dissatisfied with the quality of the results or efficiency of developers’ work. Should this ever occur, you must discuss with your project manager about whether these difficulties are resolvable or not. If they are resolvable and you choose to continue cooperation with Scorpos Corporate Services, certain arrangements will be made.
However, we believe that 99% of problems are solvable. We respect our customers and value their time and our goal is to provide quality work, which will satisfy our customers. | |
|
|
|
How can I monitor and control project development progress? |
| |
There is a number of approaches for reviewing status of the project:
|
| 1. |
The Internet allows us to communicate with your as easily as if we were next door. We are able to provide you direct secure access to our site where you can participate in your project discussion database, download/upload all relevant to the project information, send orders and requests.
|
| 2. |
We can provide you with regular status reports based on time reports from our developers.
|
| 3. |
Access to Quality and Features Management database allows you to see status of features and change requests.
|
| 4. |
Moreover this allows you to control prioritizing, and scheduling of the changes. Besides that in many cases we negotiate that the Customer takes part in choosing best resolution approach for modification requests. These options are accessible for Time-And-Material projects.
|
| 5. |
Regular updates of the schedule with specified current status provides upper level view to the state of project.
|
| 6. |
You can require us to provide you with regular deliverables of interim results. This would be done either by giving you access to our site with interim builds (useful for Web applications) or by uploading you binary builds.
|
Based on reviewing these status artifacts you may propose changes to the project process, features, etc.

How do I stay in touch with my programmers? |

You may even arrange them in to groups if you wish. You can be the project manager.
