Analysis

Our analytic focus is on scope, always. We minimize the ‘what if” scenarios to ‘when this’ so that we can get on with the task in front of us, clearing the path of tangents that derail action, and choosing features based on utilization proofs found in the current process.
Our analytic methodology records the user story to build a Hannon Technology design – no story, no feature. This lets us focus on analysis that is useful, to the point, and tied to a task. The result: reduction in time to market and costs.

Compliance

Our compliance focus is on transparency. We expose our work in tagged working products for any standard metadata system. The result: systems that can withstand the rigors of any audit.
Like our analysis methodology we capture only what is required by law. We see documentation as a dust magnet and we don’t like dust. To keep them thumb-able we conform to the Dublin Core, a metadata standard that integrates documentation and data into a solid, searchable, and retrievable format, giving documents a life beyond the project.

Engagement

Our engagement focus is on agile. As active members in the Project Management Institute we are PMP astute but our practice is Agile proficient. We don’t work on systems that must adhere to document heavy waterfall approaches.

Our agile methods focus on self organization within context and always with a defined value. While we support SMART goals, we tighten goals in time boxes so they adhere to the boundaries of the project. We believe to be really SMART is to be sensitive to the context in which we work. Our stakeholders are more impressed with the results of a few well executed goals than a long litany of lofty but tenuous outcomes.

Design

Our design focus is on creative conflict. It takes a special team to create because all creative effort rises from the conflict of ideas. We don’t design where we can’t find dissent. Our JAD saves us headache which means less heartache for you.
Our design methodology is people focused and we do not hesitate to trim teams to a core of folks who are in the project because they love it. Our designs are built from the results of a team of passionate players, a mixture of your staff and ours.
