Ready Set Project - Overview

Ready Set Project
Plan Successful Web Projects

Your company's web site does not have to be complicated, expensive, or maintenance intensive. Widespread adoption of information technology has exponentially increased the availability, capability, and complication of its use, and consequently the difficulty of selecting appropriate solutions. Ready Set Project is a professional consulting firm that specializes in web and information design for businesses.

The Internet is an information resource for people. To focus resources on efforts that increase satisfaction and multiply return, learn the expectations of your customers, employees, organization, and community. Use technology that facilitates efficient development, operation, and collaboration to clarify your message, simplify your business, and satisfy your customers.

Approach
Ready Set Project is Lean, Agile, Professional, and Transparent.

No technology or management methodology guarantees the success of your web site, however most companies claim and promise complete satisfaction. To survive, companies must balance adaptation, standardization, arbitration, and capitalization. While managing those constraints, the performing company must objectively collect customer requirements, and interpret those variables through the subjective filter of capability. The technicians selling and implementing technology are over committed, required to gain proficiency in decreasing time-frames, while disconnected and isolated developers reinvent functionality, misapply terminology, ignore efficiency, and extend deadlines, sacrificing the potential of your project.

Ready Set Project solves problems efficiently.

Using best practices and multidisciplinary design optimization, the consulting process iterates through the following phases:

Catalyst
Issue Identification
Goal Setting and Key Performance Indicators
Resource Breakdown Schedule

Parity
Industry Intelligence
Organizational Values
Language and Context

Imitation
Management
Market
Survey

Resolution
Decomposition
Abstraction
Resource Allocation

Recursion
Prototype
Optimization
Elimination
Standardization

The contributions of each phase's effort is captured by utterances, and serve as planning inputs for subsequent phases, improving the accuracy of project schedule, the efficiency of staff leverage, and the consistency of information quality.

Executives and managers inheriting web responsibilities need to identify organizational information assets. Decouple legacy infrastructure, optimize user experience, and improve conversion.

Scope of engagement is scalable to meet client's requirements.
