Assessing and
Managing Risk

At any point in the software development life cycle (SDLC) 5Rebels can assess your needs and help lower costs by reducing risks.

A big part of our consulting effort is to minimize business risk at a fair cost and high return on investment (ROI). At 5Rebels we detail the current situation, and make recommendations on how to avoid known pain points in the SDLC.

Cost-efficient  Development

Case: How to build an affordable website or application?
Risk: High cost of changes to accommodate new needs

The first thing is to understand what you need to build. The next step is to find out where you are in the process, and finally what are the most expensive items in the second step of the assessment.

Solution:
5Rebels will help you figure out: what you need, where you are and how to save money by picking the right technology using best practices and cost-efficient teams.

The Right Technology Stack

Case: Committing to a technology stack before assessing current scenario
Risk: Unnecessary high cost of business operation

Two projects with the same goal might land into 2 different technology stacks depending on the current team, current phase and other variables. Obviously committing to the wrong stack will lead to more cost and risk. Both of which we are trying to avoid.

Solution:
5Rebels will help you have a clear view of your current state before you commit to a technology stack, and only then we will make recommendations to a proper solution.

Save Money with Good Process/Development Life Cycle Best Practices

Case: Ad hoc development
Risk: Unnecessary cost in development from constant re-writes, delays, system instability, and lack of proper documentation

You started a project, and you had an estimate, but now the project is over budget and not nearly close to the expected finish line. The worst thing is that there are no objective answers as to why this project has moved away from the original plan. Most people/businesses do not know that they can/should be in charge and demand good processes from vendors and/or in-house resources.

Solution:
5Rebels will help set up efficient best practices, policies and project management tools used by the most efficient teams.

Cost-efficient Teams

Case: In-house vs Remote Team
Risk: Geolocation constraints and communication

This is another area that companies will learn about themselves and their culture. We have worked in many different company cultures. Some were 100% office based, some companies where 100% remote and some other companies were in-between.

Solution:
5Rebels works with the staff augmentation concept. We can be your support team for hire. We make the point to understand your business. We will jump in if you need to temporarily ramp up to get some projects in the pipeline finished.
