In Offsite Development, work is performed at Kanrad's own development facility at its offices in the US. Prior to the beginning of any work, the Kanrad team meets with the customer team to work out the details of the engagement. The project scope, deliverables, screen layouts, reporting, functionality issues, timelines, etc. are all be defined in detail. A small mockup of the actual application may also be developed during this phase to understand the look-and-feel of the end product.

After the definition phase, work moves to an Kanrad facility. Deliverables and other progress reports will be made available to the customer at pre-agreed intervals. The customer, if they choose, can be provided remote access into the development server via a VPN or some other secure means. By accessing the development server remotely, the customer can monitor progress in real time, and maintain overall control even though work is being carried out offsite. This approach is ideal for engagements where:

• The scope has been defined in detail
• The scope will not undergo any more changes once the requirements are agreed upon
