How much will it cost?
Cost is highly dependent on the extent and complexity of your requirements. We have developed the following approaches to help guide you through a few different options:
- Work from a set of requirements you provide us. We would take these requirements, seek clarification and draw up an estimate for the implementation work to be performed.
This option is often the least expensive, yet requires you to provide thorough requirements and supporting documentation.
These requirements might include information about the main users and any other participants, list of features you hope to have included, process requirements that must exist to allow you to effectively perform all necessary activities to support your business model, etc.
You may use our template Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) for guidance. - Work with you to develop and document your requirements. The length of such work varies depending on the size of the project but can often be captured within a week. Once completed, we would draw up an estimate for the implementation work.
This option works best if you don’t have requirements currently documented and are willing to spend the time with us to create a good picture of the end product. - Dedicate AXIOM staff for an agreed upon period of time to work collaboratively towards a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It is difficult to predict the exact amount of time needed as each project is unique, but we have had success developing such MVPs within a 3-month period.
This option works best if time to market is critical and there is flexibility in what requirements have to be in the MVP.
