The value of improving Software Process
In current time, success of organizations is directly linked with the effectiveness of the use of the Technology. In this mark, software development is clearly a key process, either executed internal or externally, with direct impact in the quality and readiness of the Products and Services of the Organization.
Development and software evolution is permanently impacted, on one hand, for the growing quantity of requirements and, for the other one, for the changes and diversity of available applications, operative environments, platforms, network infrastructure, development environments and programming languages.
More and more it is required that the development and software evolution achieves products of more quality and in less time responding to the growing requirements in the changing technological environment, with very defined, predictable processes and under conditions of being permanently improved.
For these reasons, many organizations have decided to invest in improving their development processes and software evolution, obtaining as a result immediate an excellent return when achieving bigger quality in their products and to diminish their times to market and development costs.
Solutions
We offer training services, consultancy, mentoring and coaching with diverse goals depending on the situation and customer's needs, considering the strategy of computing technology, varying from obtaining small improvements in brief lapses until the achievement of ambitious objectives of continuous quality improvements.
Both of them are joined in an iterative and incremental approach that allows, in a strategic mark to obtain significant improvements in reasonable terms facing each increment on achieved results, solid foundations and learned lessons of the previous iterations.
The base of our work is based on recognized models such as CMM and CMMI of the Software Engineering Institute and in RUP's best practices used by international companies of first line.
We go together with our clients in all the phases of the improvement process, from establishing the context and communicating to the Organization, until the implementation of the improvements and their validation.
The reach of our services can be framed in a process of global improvement or bounded to:
Strengths
We sustain our work in the strengths that allow us to achieve excellent results for our clients.
Experience
Among our consultants, we have professionals with strong experience that have driven and defined the policies of technology areas, they have directed huge projects and they have taken ahead, and with success, important initiatives of software process improvement in organizations of first line.
We go together with our clients assisting them, on the base of concrete carried out experiences.
Knowledge
We have a detailed understanding of the different focuses for the process of software development. We thoroughly know the models of maturity and the best practices for the software development used internationally in leading organizations.
We have the capacity to understand quickly their computer technology strategy and to suggest the best focus and solution to face initiatives of software process improvement inside their organization. It's our policy to maintain a high training level and upgrade in our professionals.
Support
We are IBM's Advanced Business Partner, the world leader in "software engineering best practices". IBM, simplifies the process of acquiring, implement and sustain an integral platform of development, through a combination of tools, services and better practices in software engineering. IBM has integrated the use of the best practices inside the processes included in the Rational Unified Process (RUP).
Orientation to Results
We combine a strategic vision with a quick identification of opportunities of deploying improvements in the short term, with the objective of optimizing the return of investment carried out by the client in our Consultancy Services, Mentoring or Coaching.
Consent
We put emphasis in achieving consent inside the organization, to assure the implementation and persistence of the improvements incorporated to the processes.
Communication
We communicate throughout deliverables appropriate to the characteristic profiles the different areas of the organization, either they are business or technical areas. We communicate the expected achievements clearly, to carry out later objective evaluations of each initiative.
The main goal of consultancy is to transfer in quick and efficient way the knowledge and specialization during all the phases of the software project. Our concern is the commitment in the work with our client, helping him to be self-sufficient in the use and application of technologies, products and processes we offer.
With this goal in mind, we carry out an assessment about the form of effective implementation of the project and the evaluation of the improvements in the processes, for a later implementation of these technologies in the new environment.
We offer support in the early identification of the necessary resources for this implementation and the evaluation of the time that it will demand to implant this new solution, also the planning of the effort that will demand the installation, configuration and maintenance of them in the project.
Key Points:
Transfer of knowledge:
The services build a partnership with the client that will leads him, in a future, to be self-sufficient in the use of the products and established processes. We commit with our clients in training their teams to sustain the success after the completion of the service.
This service is denominated this way, because a mentor is a consultant, an orienter of the steps to give for a correct integral solution, administrator of tools or trigger of the necessary resource for the resolution of specific problems. He seems in his work as the family doctor, since he knows the problem, tools and all the necessary one to treat all and each one of the aspects of the project’s lifecycle, using the appropriate resource for each problem.
This kind of service is provided after a training in some of the tools or RUP processes, and consists of providing one or several consultants (mentors) in one or several work teams with the purpose of transferring specialized knowledge on a “live” project in the faster possible way; with the possibility that this project is the installation of a process or the development of a system using some process, methodology and/or specific tool.
The associates mentor, guides and orientates the team in the application and use of: techniques, practices, methods and tools of Software Engineering on a “live” project.
Like Mentoring, this kind of service has the purpose of transferring quick and efficiently, highly specialized knowledge on a “live” project; with the great difference that it’s not a prerequisite, to attend the corresponding courses.
This service is carried out during the installation of a process or the development of a system using some process, methodology and/or specific tool.
This specialized consultant will guide, training and conducing the team in the application and use of the tools or RUP process on a “live” project.
When concluding our service, an entirely developed product is obtained, with a team qualified in the use of the tools; with the additional benefit of being able to make new developments applying the learned methodology and processes and with a high productivity, being able to use the specific selected tools, and personal of the participant team in this service as a multiplication factor of knowledge toward the rest of the organization.
The activities developed by our group, make emphasis in collaborating with the client in the improvement of his software processes and in determining the best possible solution he can implement, offering the corresponding services of Training, Consultancy, Mentoring, Coaching and FastTrack, all of them with a highly added value in initiatives of "Software Process Improvement supported on RUP with CMMI guidelines", being the following ones, some of the most prominent aspects:
Identification of requirements, objectives and critical success factors .
Benefits of CMMI
The CMMI models improve upon the best practices of previous models in many important ways. CMMI best practices enable organizations to do the following:
Testing is a professional practice in systems engineering, applied as part of the development process whose main objective is to check the compliance with specifications and defined requirements for a certain product or service, to increase confidence and to address the risks of the business process that they support.
