Step 1
Can BLT help? |
| BLT's core philosophy of “Acting in the best interest of the Client” is key to our ability to act as an extension of our client’s product development team including: |
- Engineering
- Marketing
- Production
|
| To work as a team, there must be a “meeting of the minds” in the following areas: |
- Allocate & Delegate Talent & Resources
- Budget and Scope of the Project
- Features and End-product Cost goals
- Schedule & Resources
- Development philosophy & methodology
|
|
In short:
Get together with our client and see if
there’s a fit. |
Step 2
“Architecture, Specification & Planning” |
| Much more than just planning, this step provides
a key opportunity to optimize schedules, budgets & deliverables
& product cost while reducing risk: |
- BLT & our client refine the specification and identify all project elements.
- IP and other Project elements are explored & evaluated.
- Critical design areas such as performance/density are evaluated.
- Sometimes test designs are implemented to determine best overall design architecture
- BLT's MANY questions set the foundation for the project’s direction and overall quality.
|
|
| Note: For complex projects and those without a firm
specification, BLT may suggest this step as an independent 1st effort. |
|
Save you money and guide you to value by
proper planning |
Step 3
Design, Entry & Implementation |
| BLT’s formal methodology includes a high level of interaction with Clients throughout a project. Clients are always: |
- Aware of schedules and deliverables
- Informed regarding a project’s status
- Involved at critical points
- Apprised and involved when a change of direction may be warranted
|

|
Get to work and keep the Client
"in the loop" |
Step 4
Verification, Integration, & Ownership Transfer |
| These activities are driven by the test plan jointly developed during the entire course of the project. In this final and critical phase we solicit our Client’s involvement in the following areas: |
- Simulation
- Subsystem Test
- System Integration
|
| Coincident with BLT’s role as an extension of our Client’s team, every step of the project leads to this final point: |
| Ownership of BLT’s facets of the project is conveyed to the Client. |
|
Present the Client a design as if they did it
"in-house" |
