Architecture & Design solutions
We know that strong architecture sets the stage for a successful product. That’s why we ensure the supplier team actively contributes to design from day one, prioritizing Non-Functional Requirements for a rock-solid foundation.
Ready to see it in action? Here’s how we make it happen.
Seeking and understanding NFR parameters early on 3.05.01
Why Do NFR (Non-Functional Requirement) Issues Make or Break the Product Timeline?
NFRs like performance, security, scalability, compliance shape the product’s foundation – missing them early on can derail everything. Fixing later isn’t just about tweaking code—it means reworking the entire architecture, figuring out the design, leading to such delays, budget overruns and missed go-to-market opportunities from where the team will never be able to recover. That’s why they don’t just affect the plan; they define it.
Because NFR issues stay hidden until it’s too late. Since they don’t directly impact features, they often get ignored. Everyone assumes the Dev team has factored them in, but that’s not always true. It is only the inexperienced Architects and naive Tech Leads who will ignore the high stake NFRs to wreck havoc later!
How we define NFRs Upfront
- Develop an NFR questionnaire to capture key parameters.
- Establish a reference baseline with real-world examples.
- Prototype and evaluate solution components early.
What You Gain:
Avoid late-stage rework and hidden costs.
Reduced risk of costly refactors
Clearer NFR expectations from the start
