Approaches

There are two main different approaches which are used: Rational Unified Process (RUP) and Agile one. Each one has its pros and cons.

RUP

It provides high predictability and quality. The product developed with such process is comprehensively documented and thoroughly tested. However this requires significant efforts to be spent on each stage and as a result it takes a significant time and money.
The following plan describes standard cooperation approach by RUP.

Pre-Inception

Activities: Business and/or Technical Problem Studying
Deliverable Artifacts: Estimate for Inception
Result: Agreement on Inception Phase

Inception

Activities: Deep Problem Researching, Gathering Requirements, Formation of Possible Solutions
Deliverable Artifacts: Vision, SRS (draft), Risk List
Result: Agreement on Elaboration Phase

Elaboration

Activities: System Design and Prototyping
Deliverable Artifacts: SRS, SAD, SDP, Risk Mgmt Plan, Test Plan, Prototype(s)
Result: Agreement on Construction

Construction

(it usually consists of several iterations, duration of which depends on task complexity).

Activities: Low-level Design, Development and Testing
Deliverable Artifacts: Source Code, Test scripts and results, Binary Code and Installation Package, Documentation, other
Result: Once the final product is delivered to Client, we take care of its maintenance and support

Agile

On the other hand Agile provides flexibility and high velocity of the development. The initial release sometimes could be delivered in a couple of weeks and that allows the Client to start using that (e.g. to run marketing researches) on very early stage and adopt plans easily.
