The starting point for building or improving any system is the recognition of an opportunity or a business problem and discovering its cause, and the belief that a better system might create benefits by improving the operation of the enterprise.

With HeliumSolutions Innovative integrated solution framework (ISF) we offer you a suite of consulting services to manage projects to success that include the best of the most two powerful models being used in today's software development cycles. Microsoft Solution Framework (MSF), and Feature Driven Development (FDD).

Planning: Building on the data obtained in stage One above, we design the work plan which highlights the strategy to enhance and support the overall business plan of the client while taking into consideration their best available opportunities. We design the functional requirement, user interface, technical and design blueprint, data and content requirements, and application plan. The design plan spells out a realistic schedule of delivery.

Developing: Implementing a new way of doing things is much harder than it sounds. People don't like change, and even those who say they're willing to give something new a go can quickly change their minds and revert to the old way of doing things. Because of this, we knew that we as a development team would only get so far trying to apply Feature Driven Development methodology (FDD) ourselves.
FDD is an agile development methodology which enables and enforces the repeatable delivery of working software in a timely manner with highly accurate and meaningful information to all key roles inside and outside a project.
Briefly, FDD consists of 5 clearly defined processes that can be captured in 5 Points:
Develop an Overall Model.
- Build a Features List.
- Planning.
- Design by Feature.
- Build by Feature.
The core of FDD is the concept of a feature which is a clearly defined Client-valued piece of functionality. The processes that make up FDD are structured around defining every element of a project as a feature, then designing and building each feature in an iterative manner.

Stabilizing and Deploying: After the development phase of a project is complete, the project enters its stabilizing and deploying phases. The goal of the stabilizing phase of ISF Process Model is to improve the quality of the solution to meet the acceptance criteria for release to production. During the deploying phase, the solution is deployed to the production environment.
