WPF Training – Key to customer co-development efforts

I think our project methodology is unique. (Strategy – Training – Envisioning – Design – Development – Deploy) Notice the training element. It seams waterfall-ish but in reality it’s an iterative approach simply broken up into manageable phases.

Our team realized early on that building production WPF applications was going to require some customer training. Although we don’t sell ourselves as a training company we typically engage the customer in a strategy phase where we learn about the project at a high level and understand specific challenges. In addition, we also analyze the team. Do they have developers, Designers or Both? What capabilities does the collective team have? We then distill the multiple weeks of content into a week of focused developer and/or designer training + workflow concepts.
