	April 15, 2009 Case Study: Cynergy Employs Developer-Designers To Harness The Power Of RIAs Resolving The Conflict Between Development And Design by Dave West with Mike Gilpin, David D'Silva

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

With the advent of rich Internet applications (RIAs), Cynergy Systems had to change from a traditional software development house into a service provider that fuses design-house graphical flair with the virtues of traditional software development processes. The resulting process is neither Agile nor traditional processes but a combination of the two, a hybrid approach that spans both design and development disciplines. This approach introduces three key roles: technical lead, user experience (UX) lead, and developer. The people filling these roles work on cross-functional teams that engage directly with the customer. The process follows two phases: a set of milestones focused on design followed by a more traditional Agile delivery phase. The resulting process gives Cynergy improved customer satisfaction and reduces the complexity and confusion often associated with development projects.
