Having a team that can successfully and quickly create websites under varied circumstances — for different industries, in different countries, from low to extreme levels of complexity — is invaluable. Creating a process to foster such teams is what IconATG set out to do when creating the IconProcess. (Read our team story for more details.)
When our IconProcess Development Team began defining IconATG's process for e-development, we didn't want to re-invent the wheel. We choose to use the successful and proven structure of the Unified Process as a starting point. This allowed the team to focus on putting best practices into the process rather than figuring out how to document a process.
A process must answer these points:
- Who is doing the work?
- What they are doing and why?
- When will the work be done?
- How will the work be done?
The Unified Process, a best-practice-based framework for software engineering, meets the criteria for a well-defined process. The key features of the Unified Process — phases, clear milestones, iterations, best practices, and defined disciplines — provide project teams with a solid foundation for developing software.
The IconProcess Development Team extended and streamlined the Unified Process, focusing on the activities, roles, and artifacts critical to successful e-development projects.
IconATG's award-winning teams have defined and refined those practices by working on client engagements. The resulting IconProcess is a four-phase, iterative approach for integrated, multi-skilled teams developing the most effective and innovative digital solutions.
