Reviewing the design of/for a product or subsystem

Doing this constructively, yet candidly, can be a bit of a trick given the egos sometimes involved with software developers.  Our solid technical grounding and strong communication skills make us effective at this task.
 

Getting to closure on critical designs

Ever get to the point in a software development project where "everyone knows" that there are central issues to be resolved, but they are not being worked on - and everyone is very busy rearranging the deck chairs?  Us too.  We can help identify these situations, make them visible, and enable real progress to get back on track.
 

Architectural or module level design work

Sometimes a project needs help getting started by having an initial architecture or design and no one knows how to "get started".  We can help here by actually doing design work or working with the people responsible.
 

Demo development

One thing we've learned is that the core development team for a software product is not always the best group to expect a compelling demo from for that product.  But, for many software products, the gap between the core team and a technical marketing team is often large enough that either it takes too long to produce a demo, or there is too much loss in conveying the product differentiation in a convincing and communicative way.  We can help you quickly get to the first step of a technically sound, creative and convincing demo, but which will still need the marketing touch.
