Udyam - a rapid development framework is focused on speed and agility with strategies such as prototyping, iterative development and time boxing.

Udyam is build on DotNet MVC and MVVM framework. It helps quick development and deployments with the built in User management, Role Management, Module registrations through plug-in, User-Role-Module mapping including complex CRUD authorization assignments. This helps in quickly building the unique and specific organizational structure and workflows around these structures.

The independent SLA module helps to seamless map the performance metrics and expected turn around for the assigned tasks.

We have built many successful rapid prototypes which are shown to the client for their feedback when they are completed. The client provides their opinion on the prototype. The developers then take this feedback and make the necessary changes to the prototype. The cycle is repeated until the client accepts the prototype. 

• Fast Development
• Cost Effective
• Reduced Risk
• Customer Satisfaction

Speed is the primary motto of Rapid Application Development. With rapid prototyping and continuous testing, the software development cycle takes a much shorter time than traditional models.

Since the product is built to the customer’s specifications, the chances of certain features being rejected in the end product are nil. The time and resources invested in the project are not wasted in RAD, making it a cost-effective model.

Since the requirements in RAD are not set in stone, it becomes easier to mitigate risks even when they appear after the development has started.

Since the client provides feedback at every step of development, the result is software that meets the client’s expectations. A happy client leads to happy developers. There is also a particular joy that developers get during the development process when the client appreciates their work. It motivates them to work harder. 

Every project, irrespective of the framework, has to start with the gathering of requirements. The clients present what they expect the software to do and the features that should be there. While the requirements gathering phase is common across all software development models, the time spent on the phase differs. Since RAD treats the software as a pliable object, the requirement gathering phase needs to be detailed. It is very much likely that the requirements are going to change along the way. At the end of this phase, all the stakeholders must reach a consensus on the requirements. 

We do engage in requirement planning most of the time, but for one or two workflow deployments we skip requirement planning and step directly from prototyping to design.

The next step is where the development starts. Here, the developers begin creating the prototypes. These are then sent to the client for testing and feedback. The developers take the feedback and make the necessary changes. It is an iterative process that requires heavy involvement from the client’s side. The repeated prototyping and testing will smooth out any bugs in the systems and gaps in understanding the requirements. The development moves to the next stage only when the client approves of the prototypes. 

After the second phase, you have parts of the product but not a complete product. The pieces are put together to create a complete working model in the construction phase. The client provides feedback and inputs in this phase, too, if needed. In this stage, you construct and verify the system, test it, and prepare for the final transition. 

The cutover phase is the final phase in RAD. The working product is ready for deployment. In the cutover stage, you need to work out data conversion and the change from the existing system to the new system, test the product, and train its users.
