• Product Design and Development
  Encora recommends iterative/incremental development process using Rational Unified Process (RUP) adopted to suit the existing development methodology used by clients. RUP divides a product development release in four phases (IECT):
  
  • Inception
  • Elaboration
  • Construction
  • Transition
  
  Each of these phases have one or more iterations with committed deliverables in form of a executable release of the system. RUP also defines the areas of work, known as disciplines, that are carried out with different intensity during IECT phases:
  
  • Business Modeling
  • Requirements Management
  • Analysis and Design
  • Implementation
  • Test
  • Deployment
  • Project Management
  • Configuration and Change Management
  • Environment
