Balancing project cost,
schedule and quality
All software projects can be measured by their
cost, schedule and quality.
Getting just one of these foundations of the
software project wrong can be a disaster. If two
go bad, the project can be a complete failure.
Unfortunately, software production is littered
with high failure rates whether from ineffective
quality, stretched budgets or damaging delays.
GKIM seeks to get this balance right – assuring
project success.

6. Lessons from
Prestigious Portfolio
GKIM’s extensive experience with a rich portfolio of
demanding customers shows that different sectors have
differing approaches on quality, cost and schedule.
GKIM has acquired the management capabilities and processes
to solve these parallel challenges.
These skills are brought to bear on all our customers’ projects
– and outlined in The GKIM Way.

11. Delivering Quality Design
Requirements Analysis and Design is by far the most important aspect of a software project – and often undervalued, with a
rush to code that inevitably costs more in the long term. GKIM works actively to ensure that project requirements and
detailed design are well considered before commencing work.
Once the project and its goals are clear there are
several dimensions of product design to be
independently considered by GKIM experts in various
disciplines:
• Award winning creative direction
• Compelling and intuitive CX, UX and GUI design
• Powerful and cost effective technology architecture
The product that we design must fulfill many criteria
in order to be successful, whether for a marketer,
entrepreneur – indeed any business.
• Originality – to stand out from the crowd
• Capability – to deliver on the promise
• Usability – to be genuinely useful
• Marketable – integrated into the wider digital
ecosystem so as to bring organic and referred traffic

12. Delivering Quality Technology
Businesses these days have many technology choices for their applications. GKIM helps
customers make these decisions on the basis of capability, future extensibility and costs.
Mobile technology choices mainly center around
cross platform development options, allowing Apple
and Android apps to be built at the same time.
GKIM can advise on the best choice for each project.
Internet technology options mainly center around the choice of “stack”. We
offer Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) or open source platforms for content
management (CMS), eCommerce, customer relationship management (CRM) and
other well established capabilities.
GKIM can lead
customers through the
jungle of open source
platforms available.
We recommends a
stack of some of the
latest, most effective
technologies.
GKIM brings technical
expertise in off the
shelf technologies.
We bring commercial
discipline to chose the
most cost effective
options from vendors.

strives to bring the architecture to each of our mobile solutions
ensuring optimal capability, user experience and distribution in
an omni-channel environment.
Cost and schedule can be reduced by eliminating non essential
capabilities from MVP. Scope and capabilities can be expanded

design, analytics, performance testing & security checking of
mobile apps.

transaction volume of our mobile apps we
use NoSQL and realtime databases such as
Firebase and RethinkDB.

Cyber Security
Security is a concern for all our
customers and becomes critical
for government and banking
sectors.
Contrary to popular belief, open
source and security are not
mutually exclusive. GKIM has a
security conscious culture
constantly and seeks best practice
and regular audits from security
specialists, as well as building
security into the SDLC as
standard..
The GKIM Way

16. Assuring Software Quality
Government and Financial Services, Banking & Insurance (FSBI) customers insist that the
quality of their applications is assured.
GKIM places significant emphasis on quality by having distinct Software Quality
Assurance (SQA or QA in short) and Software Testing, the equivalent of Quality
Control (QC).
QA applies throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to verify all
project artifacts from Requirements phase, all the way till project “go-live”. QA ensures
that issues, not just defects, are discovered early, where they are much easier and
cheaper to fix, avoid costly reworks, reduce project risks, and achieve tangible savings
in time and money.
Software Testing, or QC, ensures a good test coverage where all the requirements
are fully validated, and passes the tests that ran through the system. Such tests can be
either manual and/or automated.
Proper planning for QA and QC ensures that the most appropriate approach is taken
based on the needs of the project. Quality Plan defines all the quality goals, and governs
how, what, who, when the artifacts are to be verified.Test Plan dictates the approach to
design, execute, setup, and report on the tests.
Collectively, QA and QC, helps to keep project on track – budget, schedule, scope, and
costs – and ultimately renders confidence to customers during project sign-off.
We believe strongly that Quality should be delivered cost-effectively to all customers.
GKIM has a significant JointVenture partnership with riverQ, a highly
qualified quality expert with experience in government and FSBI sector,
and award-winning mega IT project.This partnership brings the auditable
QA that blue chip customers require as a precondition. The quality
lessons and culture that permeate from this partnership support the
quality of all of GKIM projects.
The GKIM Way

17. LISA NEO LAY SIE!
Lisa Neo is GKIM’s consultant director of quality. She is experienced in driving
project quality and ensuring adherence to budget, scope and schedule. Her focus
has been enterprise-level, mission critical systems for governments, financial and
banking institutions.
To all of GKIM’s projects she can bring quality processes and culture, giving our
customers the same confidence in quality as some of the world’s most prestigious
financial services and banking organizations, and one of the most wired national
governments.
The GKIM Way

18. 2. Delivering
on Time
The GKIM Way

19. Marketers demand timely delivery of high quality creative as they work to engage with consumers. Projects must be delivered according to
integrated media schedules. Entrepreneurs’ time to market can be essential to their competitive advantage.
To answer question of when, we need to answer the what and the how.
Delivering to Schedule
GKIM profits from the successful completion
of projects, not for letting them drag. It is in
our interest not to waste dollars on
unnecessary features or inefficient production
strategies - as long as quality is not
compromised and maximum distribution is
achieved.
We encourage our customers to explore
actual product needs, the MVP approach and
identification of unique, essential and distinct
features. If together we can focus on the
relevant KPI’s then Pareto’s eternal question is
profitably answered.
GKIM brings an understanding of product
technology, digital marketing and how
consumers experience apps to this
collaborative design exercise.
How
GKIM can focus efforts to ensure timely
delivery. We are no strangers to “crunch time”.
Our approach to scheduling delivery begins
with tight project management: planning,
monitoring and control. Our lead developers
are chosen for their relevant skills and
experience – and are taught to lead with
schedules firmly in mind.
Effective teamwork and quick problem solving
is assured by GKIM’s collaboration culture.
GKIM has ready access to an expansive
resource pool of quality talent, allowing parallel
efforts and a “factory” approach when
required.

20. 3. Delivering
to Budget
The GKIM Way

21. Entrepreneurs are amongst the most cost sensitive of all our customers. Return On Investment is an essential measure
for all projects as investors, customers and other stakeholders demand value for money.
GKIM ensures lowest possible cost to customers with our Agile Business model and by keeping our base costs as low as
practical without cutting corners on quality or dragging projects out.
Delivering to Budget
Agile Billing
GKIM maintains detailed records of every hour spent,
tracks these hours according to original scope of work
and shares a detailed analysis of effort.
Customers can see exactly where money is being spent,
and the assurance that every dollar is wisely spent and
that no time is wasted.
Agile billing is transparent and encourages collaboration
and feedback on product evolution.
