Our expertise is in clarifying the business need, analysing the detailed requirements, specifying the system and designing a robust software solution. Our measure of success is the realisation of the business benefits.

This may sound straightforward but all too many projects suffer from one or more of the following symptoms:

  • Lack of expert business input

  • Missed requirements found late in the project cycle

  • Scope creep

  • Difficulty in integrating with other systems

  • Delivery milestones delayed repeatedly

  • large numbers of business bugs found during system testing

  • High rates of bugs found after implementation

  • Reluctant, disillusioned and dissatisfied users

  • High ongoing maintenance costs and/or maintenance bottlenecks through a very small number of system experts.

    • While many organisations have made a lot of progress in recent years using project management and project governance standards such as Prince, they still struggle to deliver IT projects quickly and reliably. For them the system development methodology is still a black art.

    At Karona, we can show you a straightforward approach to specifying and building software that simply works. It is based on standards and industry best practice that are already in the public domain. We combine that knowledge with the experience that it takes to deliver a successful software project. We can provide services to assist with a single project or roll out a new development practice across your IT department. Our aim is to transfer skills to our clients and make them self sufficient, leaving them with a proven, repeatable process for delivering high quality software.
