Key learnings

Priocept’s combined use of agile software development processes, sophisticated project management and careful software architecture allowed for a creative product development process, combined with tight quality controls and firm delivery schedule.

Greg Murray, Priocept co-founder and principal consultant said of the project, ”When you are trying to develop an innovative software product, you have to expect ideas and new requirements to emerge throughout the entire project lifecycle. Priocept has adopted processes that work effectively in this kind of environment. IR Web Modules is an example of these processes working to deliver an innovative and technically complex product – quickly and cost effectively.”

Priocept and the London Stock Exchange:

“We’ve been working with the LSE for some time on a large development for their corporate web site platform and related online products and services.  We work with the LSE on projects where they come up with a set of high-level business requirements for a new product or service and we show them how this can be developed through re-use and extension of the existing web platform,” said Greg Murray, Priocept co-founder and principal consultant.

IR Web Modules project schedule:

“We were originally briefed on the IR Web Modules project in November 04. Development on the project started in earnest in January 05 and the product was launched in May 2005. So it was six months from the very early discussions about the scope of the project to going live with real customers.”
