Project Management and Delivery Methods:

The application was built over a period of 12 months delivered using the agile method with a series of 4 development sprints. Each sprint was seperated by a period of user testing and feedback which fed into the following sprints’ requirements. The clients team is led by a Project Manager who deals directly with the our Project Manager located in India, with an account management and escalation role based in Dublin. A full team of software developers are assigned to the project from Monsoon Consulting including;

  • Project Manager
  • Technical Architect
  • UI Designer
  • Software Development
  • QA and Testing
  • Hosting Adminsitrator (Cloud Computing)

With the application built and the fundamental architecture in place the task now is for the www.imeecoach.com team to sell the application to the golf market . With each new major academy sign up comes further enahancement to the application and we are now making the application ready for individual golf pro’s to use to manage their students and creating a means for delivery of stock training courses for golfers to purchase. Together we have begun to build the technology roadmap around the business requirements for 2010.
