Waterfall Project Management For Software Development

We will design and develop applications for your organization’s website. These applications are well-optimized for performance without sacrificing security.

The APIs developed at Orases provide businesses with the ability to run testing automations to check app performance, are able to integrate with multiple apps & systems and can be adapted to new processes & software.

If your product is using legacy software and needs to be updated, Orases will perform a complete refactor of the code. This will allow it to be faster and more customizable when attempting to use or update the program.

Our custom software developers are committed to eliminating bugs and issues with all types of software solutions and applications. We will work to keep your organization’s software up and running without problems.

Businesses that acquire custom audit software are able to improve efficiencies by automating audit-related processes. All custom audit software we develop adheres to all industry compliance regulations.

Organizations in fields that involve case work can benefit from case management software. Our case management software improves internal communication, information sharing between departments & report generation.

Our custom software development team develops cloud applications that use remote servers for processing logic, can be accessed through internet browsers and offers the same functionality of a native app with additional key advantages.

With CRM software, businesses are not only able to improve customer relationships but can also increase productivity, improve lead generation and strengthen their security.

We will develop an e-commerce application for organizations looking to sell their products online. These applications will enable companies to accept payments and handle every portion of commerce online.

Enterprise applications allow companies to conduct important business operations. We will assist your organization in the development of a custom enterprise application.

The custom ERP software solutions we develop have been proven to effectively consolidate data and streamline processes with advanced automations and integrations.

The grant management software solutions developed at Orases are designed to simplify the grant application process, provide advanced reporting capabilities and can integrate with existing CRM, BPM or ERP software systems.

Businesses and organizations which operate within HIPAA compliant industries are required to have secure applications which adhere to HIPAA compliance guidelines. We have years of experience developing secure and innovative HIPAA compliant applications.

By integrating inventory management software with a custom warehouse management system, organizations are able to view precise inventory levels, improve order management efficiency, and increase the accuracy of sales forecasting.

Regardless of the system your organization works with, our team will develop legacy software for you to use. We have extensive experience with a range of technologies & will work to create your application using the legacy software.

Software as a service (SaaS) allows companies to purchase your software on a subscription basis. Our team will develop a SaaS application to maximize your organization’s profitability.

We are able to integrate systems & applications that handle accounting, customer relationship management, content management, enterprise resource planning and reporting to provide businesses with seamless communications.

Through the implementation of a custom warehouse management system, supply chain organizations are able to optimize workflows, streamline processes, and view real-time data across all locations and points of the supply chain lifecycle.

The development team here at Orases has years of experience building highly custom web portals which focus on improving process efficiencies and enterprise-wide collaboration through user-centric features, advanced automations, and seamless third-party software integration capabilities.

Since each wave of the project is outlined before starting, the overall budget of the project can be identified early on.

As a linear software project management approach, the Waterfall methodology requires stakeholders and developers to agree on project requirements prior to beginning the development process.

All members of the project are assigned clear and defined roles which increases accountability and responsibility of completing particular tasks and requirements.

The progress of the project can be easily measured and understood by stakeholders through identifying waves that have been completed and which wave is currently being worked on.

The Waterfall model divides the project into distinct phases that follow a strict linear order. Common phases include Requirements Gathering, System Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance.

Waterfall methodology emphasizes thorough documentation at each phase. This documentation serves as a detailed guide for development and provides a clear record of what was done for future maintenance and updates.

Progression from one phase to the next often requires passing through a “gate” where deliverables are reviewed and approved. This gate serves as a quality check to ensure that the project is ready to move forward and that all necessary criteria have been met.

The Waterfall model is highly structured, making it easy to predict timelines, budgets, and resource needs, as long as there are no changes to the scope.

Risks are generally identified during the initial phases and must be thoroughly assessed as changes cannot easily be made once the project is underway.

Developing smaller general software solutions with some complex features.

Developing specialized software programs that can be designed for customer use.

Developing massive software projects designed fully automate large business operations.

“Orases successfully built efficiencies into our prototype and delivered a high-quality platform.”

“They’re honorable, reputable, and easy to work with. They genuinely care about the outcome and want to do a good job.”

“Orases built a platform that’s boosted productivity by about 30%…”

“Not only do they want to succeed, they strive to produce functionally and visually unique software.”

The typical phases in Waterfall project management include Requirements Gathering, System Design, Implementation, Verification/Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance. Each phase is dependent on the deliverables of the previous phase to progress.

The Waterfall model is often chosen for projects where requirements are clear and unlikely to change, as it provides a structured and predictable approach. It’s particularly effective for projects with strict regulatory requirements or where detailed documentation is necessary.

Waterfall is not well-suited to handle changes in project scope once the project is underway. Scope changes typically require revisiting and revising several phases, which can be time-consuming and expensive. It’s best used in environments where scope and requirements are unlikely to change.

No, Waterfall is not suitable for all software development projects. It works best for projects with very well-defined requirements and deliverables that are unlikely to change over time. Projects that require flexibility and frequent iteration, such as evolving tech products or user-driven applications, may benefit more from Agile methodologies.

Agile software development is a software development methodology that promotes continuous development & testing throughout the project.

There is a way to ensure the success your next custom software project — and it is something that Orases helps their clients do every day.
