Engagement Process
Product Horizons expects a detailed requirements document from the client, and if not available, recommends entering into a requirements analysis exercise - the deliverable of which will be the requirements specification document. NOTE: Product Horizons will charge the client separately for any requirements analysis exercise if the client wishes to involve Product Horizons for the same.
After requirements are documented, the scope for the engagement is fixed. Based on the engagement model (see below) chosen by the client, Product Horizons prepares a proposal for the engagement, which states details like team composition, payment structure, project methodology, communication structure etc. After the client signs off by accepting the proposal and payment terms, the work commences.
