Process

Projects will have better success at your company by proceeding through phases defined and directed by JoyeGroup. This is important because it ensures that:

  • Your requirements (what needs to be done defined by you) are documented and satisfied
  • What is produced is tested to ensure your requirements are satisfied
  • Deliverables are produced for your project as phases are completed
  • If your project phase results are not achieved, as a team we will review the results and determine if the project proceeds. Stopping a project is an option to protect your investment
