"Your Product Development in Safe Hands"

Development Consultancy from Tactiq
Enabling smart investment decisions from a project assessment that delivers a clear development strategy, detailed technical and commercial direction.

Project Assessment Value

 

In the early development stages, a thorough project assessment provides invaluable knowledge of the real scope of a project to make the right decisions on the investment of time and resources. Tactiq's assessment process gives our clients a complete technical and commercial project overview, often for a long term platform solution. This lays out how the product development will be structured, identifies risks and mitigations and shows a clear timing path to project delivery.

This project assessment forms the vital first phase in the overall project, which is often structured as shown in its lifecycle.
