• Complete a trade-off analysis
• Update and finalize your requirements based on the trade-off analysis

Complete an analysis to identify features that might not be necessary to the client’s needs versus their wants.

• Identify tasks that can be completed simultaneously in an effort to reduce development time and cost.
• Keep in mind that the overall quality of the product should not be compromised during this rapid development.
• These steps will aid in keeping the project within budget or  reducing the overall development cost without compromising quality.
