A Universal Problem
Current methods for defining software & web-based projects just donʼt work!
66% of projects fail, run late, or are over budget.
53% of projects will incur cost increases of 189% of
the original estimates.
- Standish Group
70% of REWORK is attributed to correcting
requirements errors.
- META Group
30% of project costs are REWORK.

The Root Causes
The underlying problems are distilled into three main causes:
Misunderstood product
requirements due to ambiguity
of written specifications.
Lack of sufficient information
to support complex
applications/systems.
Inability to “test drive” a
product design with
customers and stakeholders
before development.

The Cost to Fix
An error found during the coding process typically costs 10 times more to fix than one
found and fixed at the requirements development stage. – Boehm (Software Engineering Economics)

8.
The Proven Process
The heart of the Stream Process™ is
made up of three areas:
- Insight
- Clarity
- Focus
Each of these areas are performed as
part of a Realization Cycle.
The output of a Realization Cycle is the
Definition.
Each time a full Realization Cycle is
performed, an evolutionary iteration of the
solution is achieved.

9.
The Realization Cycle
Typically a Realization Cycle is completed over a 1 week period. Depending on
the project size and complexity, a Realization Cycle may extend to 2 weeks in
length, but no more. The combined “work product” of the Realization Cycle is
the Definition.
14

10.
Definition
The Definition area is the culmination of the Insight, Clarity and Focus areas as
represented by the visualization model. With each successive rapid design
iteration, or Realization Cycle, the Definition of the engagement becomes
increasingly mature.
15

11.
Definition
Once the Definition has reached a maturity level where all stakeholders share a
common and thorough understanding of the engagement, the Definition area is
complete. This serves as the final “blueprint” for the engagement.

A key ingredient to the Stream Process™
is the use of a collaborative visualization
platform.
This platform allows the team to rapidly
visualize the application and solicit real-
time feedback from stakeholders without
the need of programming.
The visualization platform of choice for
OneSpring is iRise.
