Our Methodology and Process
At all times, we focus on what is important for our client. The process we use changes to adapt to
the needs of each project. In this way, we are not constrained by a rigid development process that
might not make sense for your project or your organization. We adapt to your needs, while
staying focused on what is important to you.

We at S2DIO use the Unified Software Development Process to accomplish the goals of mostly
all our projects. The Unified Process is a software development process, which is a generalized
set of activities needed to transform the client’s requirements into a software system. However, it
is a generic process framework that can be specialized for all application areas, different types of
organizations, different competence levels, and different project sizes. The Unified Process uses
the Unified Modeling Language (UML) when preparing all blueprints of the software intensive
system. Repetition over a series of cycles which take place over time makes up the life of the
system. The cycles conclude with a product release to the clients. Through a sequence of
models, stakeholders visualize what goes on in these phases. Every cycle consists of five
phases: Directs the tasks of individual developers and the team as a whole. Specifies what
artifacts should be developed. Offers criteria for monitoring and measuring a project’s products
and activities.
