Large Scale Software Development

Risks of Large-Scale Software Development.Mitigated

Large-scale projects are typically more complex and involve multiple teams, techs, dependencies, significant resources, longer timelines, and many stakeholders with various expectations. Large-scale software development requires careful planning, collaboration, and coordination among cross-functional teams to deliver complex, high-quality software systems that meet the needs of users and businesses effectively. All this significantly increases the chances for things to go wrong. Here is how Vantage Point manages some of the common risks:

Risk of volatile project scope

Solution:

■ Modeling of app features and feature dependencies.
■ Feature prioritization for agile development and fast app deployment.

Risk of software overcomplexity

Solution:

■ Sustainable software architecture with well-planned dependencies between layers and modules.
■ High-quality and easily maintainable code due to extensive code reuse, unit testing and code reviews.

Risk of poor process coordination

Solution:

■ Development project split in sub-projects with dedicated project managers.
■ DevOps practices to eliminate infrastructure-related issues.
■ Accurate, up-to-date, and detailed documentation.
■ Tailored frequency, granularity, and format of communication within the development team and with the business side.
■ Established knowledge management.

Risk of a lagging app

Solution:

■ Optimal app architecture.
■ Integrated application performance monitoring.
■ Continuous performance testing as a part of CI/CD.
■ Established quality controls at each step.

Risk of lack of resources

Solution:

■ Team augmentation services.
■ Continuous hiring process and an uninterrupted project flow.
■ Quick scaling up and down the team on demand.
■ Knowledge transfer and retention.

Risk of problematic security and compliance

Solution:

■ Component-level software security.
■ Integration of security practices throughout the development lifecycle (DevSecOps).
■ Regular security and compliance testing.
