A Universal Problem
66% of projects fail, run late, or are over budget.
53% of projects will incur cost increases of 189% of the original estimates.

70% of REWORK is attributed to correcting requirements errors.
30% of project costs are REWORK.- Forrester Research
- META Group
Current methods for defining software & web-based projects just donʼt work!

The Root Causes
Misunderstood product requirements due to ambiguity
of written specifications.
Lack of sufficient information to support complex
applications/systems.
Inability to “test drive” a product design with
customers and stakeholders before development.
The underlying problems are distilled into three main causes:

The Cost to Fix
An error found during the coding process typically costs 10 times more to fix than one found and fixed at the requirements development stage. – Boehm (Software Engineering Economics)

An Improved Approach
Eliminate confusion with a detailed
Visualization
…before coding.
Rapidly iterate and share your requirements & design early and often
with stakeholders.
Test and validate with consumers.
• Reduce requirements cycle time• Eliminate project rework
After years of experience, weʼve learned a better way…
Our Approach Benefits
• Better collaboration• Drive innovation
• Reduce outsourcing risk
• Improve adoption• Create desirable products

The Stream Process™
We call this approach the Stream Process™.
The Stream Process™ is a methodology that offers companies a collaborative and highly-visual approach to creating superior products and solutions in less time, with reduced project re-work.
This helps companies dramatically improve productivity, quality and customer satisfaction. Stream is the process that
combines the right people
and the right tools
to define the right application.

The Key Ingredients
The essential aspects of the Stream Process™ are comprised of practices that are highly successful in business today. They include:
• Small Collaborative Teams• Rapid Iterative Design Process• Adaptive Planning• Visualization
Combined with the right Experience… you have the Stream Process™.

The Proven Process
The heart of the Stream Process™ is made up of three areas:
- Insight- Clarity- Focus
Each of these areas are performed as part of a Realization Cycle.
The output of a Realization Cycle is the Definition.
Each time a full Realization Cycle is performed, an evolutionary iteration of the solution is achieved.

The Realization Cycle
Typically a Realization Cycle is completed over a 1 week period. Depending on the project size and complexity, a Realization Cycle may extend to 2 weeks in length, but no more. The combined “work product” of the Realization Cycle is the Definition.

Definition
The Definition area is the culmination of the Insight, Clarity and Focus areas as represented by the visualization model. With each successive rapid design iteration, or Realization Cycle, the Definition of the engagement becomes increasingly mature.

Definition
Once the Definition has reached a maturity level where all stakeholders share a common and thorough understanding of the engagement, the Definition area is complete. This serves as the final “blueprint” for the engagement.
