Practical example
Successful products despite reduced development costs
We help you reduce your development costs so you can breathe a little easier without compromising the quality of your product.
Background
Tight budgets combined with steadily rising development costs make life difficult for developers. Delays in originally fixed schedules due to missed milestones and/or late changes in development caused by errors are major drivers of development costs. Furthermore, the complexity of development projects is constantly increasing due to growing product complexity, which also has a significant impact on development costs.
Specific task
- Identification of the key cost drivers in development
- Identification of best practices both internally and externally
- Conducting a variance analysis of current development costs against the KBC benchmark
- Targeted identification of optimization measures to close the gaps
- Launching an optimization initiative (developing a business case, scheduling, agreeing on actions, etc.)
KBC's Approach
Based on years of cross-industry project work at various companies, we are familiar with the key processes and cost drivers of development organizations.
We…
- Through a wide range of projects, we have worked with numerous development organizations and, together with our clients, developed optimization strategies,
- continuously identify and refine best-practice approaches,
- not only develop measures, but also embed them within optimization initiatives,
- work with you, our client, to develop practical solutions that are tailored to your business,
so that you can quickly gain control over your current development costs and reduce them in the long term. The result will give you some breathing room and create new opportunities for other development projects and new ideas.
