Business Analysis 

DVT retains a core competency of business analysis with active competency owners and a consistent set of tools and techniques. 

Business analysis is a crucial component of our software delivery cycle, and central to our software development approach. We also offer the competency as a stand-alone service for clients that need professional business analysis undertaken as a precursor to any significant business project.
  

Our business analysts typically have a technical or business background, have been professionally trained, and are often certified by a professional organization with an industry recognised qualification.

Project Management 

Everything we deliver across the Group is treated as a project. We believe that there is a start and end to every assignment we undertake. To that end, competent project management is considered key to our overall success. 

Our project managers are typically experienced practitioners with a proven track record. We use a mix of personal style and a proven approach. Individual project managers are experienced enough to decide on the mix and use of methodology and less formal methods. However we will adopt any given methodology for the duration of a project or assignment if stipulated by our client. 

All delivery skills of software development, business analysis, and project management are considered equally important. Our project managers are asked to collaborate and communicate reasons and rationale rather than trying exercise command and control techniques. Nevertheless, project managers are responsible for their projects and have to make sure they act in a responsible and forthright manner that facilitates successful delivery.

Systems Support 

An integral part of software development is the ongoing cost of ownership, overall responsibility, and energetic business support. 

DVT offers a specialist support function to any client that wants to delegate all day to day management and enhancement of software and related services to a specialist services provider. 

Depending exclusively on client needs, this could include monitoring, enhancement and support of existing software according to service level agreements; retainers to ensure the right skills and management is available at short notice for urgent business needs; specialist technical support; and existing domain knowledge to assist and speed up the delivery of large, ad-hoc software projects.
