The Appian Process

Every successful project starts with planning and ends with measurement. In between, we fit plenty of talent, imagination and innovation.



Our project development process keeps every project on track, within budget and promotes open, effective communication between the customer, project manager, developers and designers.

Analyze

Appian Digital performs a careful analysis of your project needs, business processes and the positioning of your competition. We work with you to determine the best areas for improvement and then gather the requirements necessary to clearly define the project objectives, and system requirements.

Plan

We take this information and create a strategic plan for the entire initiative. This conceptual roadmap outlines all key aspects including information architecture, interface design, content requirements, data-flow design and functional development. This plan also includes a project timeline with a listing of project deliverables.

Produce

The development phase uses the project specification to build the graphical interface, database schema and all applications necessary to support the creative, content and functional requirements of the project.

Implement

After client approval, our staff performs extensive testing, and prepares the project for final implementation. After a final Quality Assurance check is performed, your project is deployed.

Assure

Our work doesn't end when your project goes live. After launch, Appian Digital tracks your project's performance, measures your return on investment and explores additional project enhancements.

Nuture

Appian Digital is there for you after project completion for ongoing customer service, maintenance, training, and future project development.

How We Handle Your Project
Once the project is underway, it is the job of the Project Champion to be sure that everyone stays on track and adheres to the scope of the project as it was quoted. Your Project Champion will keep you informed regularly as to the status of your project in terms of both timeline and budget.

Once our clients have worked with us long enough to fully understand our capabilities, their wish list starts to grow. It is very common for change orders to be created during the course of a project as our clients see things come together and new ideas for enhancements or additional capabilities arise. In these cases, we often quote these change orders on the fly and create addendums to the project scope. In some cases, we’ll recommend holding off on major changes and adding them to a “phase two” project plan in order to stay on course for meeting our original project delivery timeline.
