The preliminary project assessment (PPA<\/span>) is the process that is aimed at evaluating the technical requirements and approximating the cost of a given project. Besides these estimations,\u00a0PPA<\/span>\u2019s goal is to answer some of the key business questions that arise before the development even starts:<\/p>\n First of all, the preliminary assessment allows you as a business owner to estimate the potential\u00a0ROI<\/span>\u00a0(returns on investments) and it gives you a clear understanding of what can be done as well as at what\u00a0cost.<\/p>\n Second, it provides transparency between a software development company and its client. Having a transparent process is crucial, for a variety of reasons, both strategic and in terms of publicity. It allows\u00a0IT<\/span>\u00a0companies to spend less time on research, gives a clear customer focus and involves the customer in the development process.<\/p>\n The\u00a0PPA<\/span>\u00a0also gives a software developer company the chance to communicate requirements related to additional deliverables and leverage the experience gained from similar projects.<\/p>\n In most cases the\u00a0PPA<\/span>\u00a0can be broken down into several stages, let\u2019s move through each step by step, shall\u00a0we.<\/p>\n The next step is not is not always the same, because it assumes that either there are still some blanks in developer\u2019s understanding and additional information from the client is required or if a customer asks for a more accurate estimation.<\/p>\n Very rarely, the preliminary assessment stands on its own. Typically, in the industry of\u00a0IT<\/span>, it is followed by a detailed evaluation. The\u00a0PPA<\/span>\u00a0gives client understanding of how the project will be delivered, while the second assessment usually elaborates on it and takes a look at entire endeavor in higher resolution, so to\u00a0speak.<\/p>\n The nice thing about preliminary assessment is that it is doesn\u2019t really require a great resource input and can be given within a really short timeframe.<\/p>\n If your company is interested in a project assessment, then you can contact us at Intechcore.
