ClearConnex has an experienced team that can fully manage the entire project lifecycle for you or just augment your team as needed. Below is a list of the steps that we go through for each project we work on. The time each step takes will be determined by the size and the scope of the project.

1. Requirements Phase - This phase is very important for us to get to know you and your business goals. Whether you bring us the proverbial "back of the napkin" drawing of the device you want to build or already have detailed requirements specification, this phase is important to learn and define the projects scope and boundaries. The artifact created during this phase is a Requirements Specification.

2. Feasibility Phase - During this phase work with you to determine if both your technical goals and your business goals are acheiveable. While verifying the Requirements Specification, ClearConnex will work with you to weigh your options, prioritize requirements and validate your assumptions. During this phase the requirements specification will often be revised, prioritized and possibly be broken up into phases.

3. Gap Analysis
Once we have the project scope finialized, we will look at our tool chest of software and hardware product platforms to determine how far ahead your project will be starting.

3. Design Phase - After determining which parts of your system that need to be built, we create a system design to show you how we will integrate our product building blocks and develop the additional pieces that need to be created. This type of documentation is invaluable for communication during the device development but is also required for maintaining the system after it has launched and gone to market. The artifacts created during this phase may include System Design, Device Design and Protocol Specification.

4. Development Schedules - Using the Requirements and Design Specifications we build a project schedule to determine how long the project will take and what resources are needed to complete the project. This project plan is maintained in weekly meetings where we inform you of the project's progress and risks. This prevents surprises and unforeseen delays. The artifact created to set your time schedule expectations is the project schedule. This schedule is updated weekly in the project status meetings.

5. Regulatory Approval Consultation, FCC/PTCRB/Carrier - From the very beginning of the project we will design the system to meet all regulatory requirements. Then, as the project nears completion, we manage the regulatory approval processes with accredited testing facilities and carriers.
