DRTL Products
Practical systems built around real work
DRTL products are designed to bring scattered information, recurring tasks and important records into a dependable structure. The first two systems are now progressing towards release.
01 / PRODUCT JOURNEY
From a useful idea to a dependable product
Every DRTL product moves through a defined development process. This makes it clear what is being explored, what is being built, what is undergoing real-world testing and what is ready to buy.
- 01
Concept
A real problem or recurring need has been identified. The intended users, purpose and practical value of a possible solution are being defined.
- 02
In Build
The product structure, functions, presentation and supporting material are being created and refined against the DRTL standard.
- 03
In Testing
The product is being used in realistic conditions to identify faults, unclear instructions, usability problems and opportunities for improvement.
- 04
On Sale
The product has passed its release review and is available with clear purchasing, delivery, support and version information.
A product will only move to On Sale when its content, functionality, usability, documentation and delivery package are ready.
