Consideration

Every projects stands for a unique process of coordinated and controlled activities with start and finish date undertaken to achieve an objective solution conforming to specific requirements including the constraints of time, quality and cost.

Project management triangle

The following three conditions have to be handled in every software development project of Creonex: Quality, Schedule and Cost. The exact individual planning of these three conditions is the key of the success of projects worked out by Creonex.
