iMAN IT offers production work flow, code architecture, and team management services that will help minimize the cost of developing your next flash game or application.
Production Work flow: iMAN IT specializes in optimizing the game creation work flow by creating an action plan, custom sdlc, project management software customization, and process automation.
Action Plan: Upon analysis of your current development process and production work flow we will create an action plan that outlines recommended process changes, tools customizations, and process automatons that will improve your company’s productivity.
Custom SDLC: A software development life cycle (SDLC) specifies the processes, roles, and documentation involved in creating software from the business case to the delivered product. We will produce a custom SDLC that will optimize the flow of communication needed to ensure your product meets its business goals.
Project Management Software Customizations: We will customize your project management software to support process changes that have been outlined, allowing you to attain a new level of accountability and transparency.
Process Automation: Often production processes include manual steps which can be accomplished automatically. In these cases automation always reduces the cost of production. We will create scripts that automate the production and build process where appropriate.
Code Architecture: iMAN IT specializes in architect-ing flash games that will be are optimized for maintainability, simplicity, and testability. You will receive interactive class diagrams, Java Docs , and heavily commented stub code so your team can hit the ground running. The importance of giving your development team an architecture to work with can not be understated, because not using a solid and well planned out architecture will create huge development costs down the road.
We further specialize in architect-ing games with the Game Object Framework and SCUGE. When your game use GOF, you can be assured that you are using the best possible architecture. Further, using the SCUGE game engine will allow your team to use there time to focus on game play, instead of being bogged down in the most routine and often most difficult parts of game development.
SCUGE Support: At iMAN IT, we believe that the most cost effective way to develop a mid-size to large game is by using the SCUGE game engine. If you choose to use the SCUGE engine iMAN IT can support your team as needed as you build your game. By adopting this approach, your project will immediately benefit from reductions in several hundreds of hours of development time and the use of skillful architecture.
Letting us assist you with code architecture will not only save you money during the coarse of your project (as development time is kept down), but also allow to save upfront as you will not need to hire senior developers. Another way to use lower cost resources and mitigate quality issues is to use iMAN IT team management services.
Team Management: Let iMAN IT fill the gap between the developers and stake holders to ensure that management’s expectations are being managed and the programmer’s time is being used as efficiently as possible.
Tasking: We will create a list of all foreseeable tasks that need to be accomplished to deliver the project and we will work with your developers to make sure they know exactly how to accomplish each task.
Code Review: Committed code will recieve periodic reviews to make sure it works, is implementing the larger plan, is well commented, and does not introduce performance or memory management issues into the build.
