Limiting Web Changes Is A False Economy
Thursday, July 24th, 2008
New Bamboo, the Web Development Specialist warns against limiting web changes during development. By taking a rigid and inflexible approach to web projects, businesses inadvertently risk delivering online products or services that do not fully meet stakeholder requirements.
In an independent survey of 100 senior IT managers and directors, 59% of respondents believed that by minimising the number of changes during web development they could avoid web project failures and reduce costs. Furthermore, 45% of respondents felt that a greater focus on scoping requirements at the start would help the process.
“Changes are an inevitable part of the web development process. Those managing web projects are often under the impression that by limiting changes you can save money and time. This is a false economy as the resulting software is often a poor fit for what is actually required. People also fail to think about the real cost of a badly produced web product. This could potentially result in reduced sales or poor customer service,” argues Damien Tanner, Co-Founder and Director of New Bamboo.
