Proof of Concept
At Rocket Proof of Concept is not a euphemism for an unstructured, experimental approach. It is a method of developing and testing ideas within a structured project environment.
There are three critical phases for a successful proof of concept approach:
Evaluation
In order to maximise the proof of concept approach it is vital to have a thorough understanding of the outline problem/requirement. Once the requirement is clear, our consultants will work closely with our customer’s key business users to identify potential approaches and solutions that will satisfy the baseline requirement. At the end of this phase the baseline requirement will be clearly understood and played back to the customer with potential solutions/approaches.
Feasibility
Once the evaluation phase is completed the feasibility of an approach/solution can be assessed from a technical, operational and business case perspective. The Rocket feasibility study framework facilitates this process.
Prototyping
Once an appropriate approach has been identified prototyping can begin. Our consultants work closely with business users to develop solutions quickly based upon the brief defined as part of the Evaluation phase and ratified in the Feasibility phase. Prototyping is an iterative process of development, assessment and refinement. This cycle continues, developing the solution in parallel as the requirements continue to mature and evolve. This method is ideal for customers who have yet to define the detail of their processes or need to achieve a result that is technically challenging.
