Areas of Expertise
Software Development Processes
Whether you use Agile, traditional, both, or a hybrid methodology, we can guide you in solving your process and quality problems.
Choosing a Methodology - Selecting the right methodology for your organization is a complex task that requires knowledge of the various available options and an objective evaluation of the complexities and needs of your organization. ASK brings to each consulting engagement the knowledge about a wide variety of methodologies and models, both traditional and Agile. We have evaluated numerous organizations, and guided them in acting on their needs.
Agile Methods - ASK is uniquely qualified to guide you in considering or implementing an Agile methodology, having been active in the Agile movement since 2004. What kinds of projects are best for Agile? How will it affect my customers? What are the implications for how we manage? How will my developers cope? Whether it is Scrum, XP (eXtreme programming), another of the dozen Agile methods, or just "Agility" itself that has drawn your attention, we can help you to sort through the issues, make an informed decision, and make it work in practice.
Traditional Methods - ASK has been consulting on traditional methodologies since the 1990's. We have special experience with guiding clients to compliance with the CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model Integration from the Software Engineering Institute) - our clients have never failed an Appraisal! In addition, we draw from many other traditional sources including:
- PMBOK® - Project Management Body of Knowledge from the Project Management Institute (PMI)
- BABOK® - Business Analysis Body of Knowledge from the International Institute for Business Analysis (IIBA)
- SWEBOK - Software Engineering Body of Knowledge from the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
- SPIBOK - Software Process Improvement Body of Knowledge from the International Institute for Software Process (IISP)
