12 Step Development Process

Ran across Hal Helms 12 Step Development Process. January 2001. It looks similar to how we’re doing things now. As I’m reminded randomly, my project was the first with mockups. I’m the win.

Steps:
DISCOVERY
1. Sales meeting.
2. Initial needs meeting.
3. Wireframe meeting.
4. Sales meeting.

DESIGN
5. Look and feel.
6. Prototype and specs.

IMPLEMENTATION
7. Sales meeting.
8. Completion agreement.
9. Architectural work.
10. Coding.
11. Internal beta test.
12. Completion test meeting.

Amazing how similar this is to Web Redesign. Rereading that book for a redesign now.

Hal Helms is a ColdFusion guy. ColdFusion is coding. But process is universal, eh?
