Zelos places a lot of emphasis on Process and
Project Management. We call it the “Zelos way”. Appropriate and rigorous
process and Project Management are the ways Zelos makes its software
Development Outsourcing efforts
successful. Some highlights of our Process Management
approach are: We use a “Modified Spiral-Waterfall”
methodology in our development efforts, be it an elaborate software effort
or even a simple porting effort. We emphasise an iterative refinement approach
where code deliverables are planned as early as possible. This enables
early feedback from te customer and corrective
actions. We emphasise the importance of a variety of
tests in our Test Plans. Our belief is that ISO 9000 and SEI CMM
certification emphasise more the mechanical aspects of Process. Software
quality really depends upon understanding the software, its utility and
coming up with the most thoughtful, appropriate and elaborate test
plans. Some highlights of our Project Management
approach are: Emphasis on written documentation for project
management; project plans, Requirements and design documents; periodic
progress reports, etc. Our emphasis on Communication: Weekly telephone
conference calls, status updates, face-to-face meetings for really thorny
technical and project management
issues. We have an orientation and continuing technical
updates program for our employees. Orientation

academic settings. Examples of such topics
are: v
Software
