| Hi,
The scenario you are looking for is fairly possible. But I
would suggest the distribution of the task like follow
- Annalist will take care of USER \ MARKET
PROSPECTIVE + Will give the View Point of both the
Developer & The End User (This helps the most) Cause
while developing the Developer all he wants to do it work
on the code we are very much in love with it., Approval Of
Scope
- Developer - Full Architecture Design, Scope
Defining, System Design & Development, Initial Testing
- On going Market Survey, Sales, Finance
In "Quotes" Try to distribute work in such a way one
person is looking after all the related topic in your
process. It helps. Now for End User Training. Proper
Documentation would be fairly enough. As you said you are
developing a End User Software meaning you are developing
it for a specific type of user. Most those who already
know computers so basic operations will not be a problem
so just work on Documentation(which is a very very tedious
job but unfortunately we have to deal with it)
