Why Full Discourse

Why rely on Full Discourse? It's simple: Software Development experience, built over nearly four decades.

Quality Without Risk

Full Discourse uses a disciplined approach for planning software projects. We remove the ambiguity that is often found in requirements. The full fidelity of an idea is very hard for a business team to communicate to software developers, especially when written down. Our planning process structures this conversation. The developers negotiate with your business team over a precise list of acceptance criteria for each feature. We refer to these criteria as "done-when" statements. Our developers are trained at ensuring that each done-when statement is concrete and testable. In essence, the business team is agreeing with the software developers on what done means. This simple convention forces an extremely high quality conversation within the project. We do not create every done-when statement up front. Instead, we develop the criteria before each 2-4 week iteration. Then we repeat. Your business team can use these short cycles to continuously improve and adapt the project. The end result is higher quality working software at the end of each iteration.

We guarantee the following:

  • We guarantee that your project will achieve maximum ROI because we deliver working software in iterations adding features in the order you specify. You choose when to release an iteration and begin realizing the return.
  • We guarantee that cost is predictable because we give you the tools to help manage it.
  • We guarantee that the schedule is predictable because you control it.
  • We guarantee project transparency to minimize your risk at all times.
