Methodology
- IBM
Rational Unified Process (RUP) – the industry-leading
methodology that stresses iterative and controlled development. It
is a proven methodology that unifies best practices from
many disciplines into a consistent lifecycle process.
- eFulcrum GLOBE’s
Delivery Process – eFulcrum GLOBE’s implementation and use of this
methodology on all projects that it performs, uses the
framework provided by RUP and includes eFulcrum GLOBE’s best practices
for Enterprise Component development.
- Skills – development
effectiveness is primarily improved by increasing the
skill level of the development organization. eFulcrum GLOBE’s
development process assessment identifies and addresses
the skills gaps prior to project implementation.
- Risk
Management – focus on high risk aspects of the solution
early in the development to mitigate risks associated
with custom development.
- Acceleration – implementation
of this process uses the strategy of concurrent activities
in order to achieve high-speed solution development.
- Iterative
and Parallel Approach – by dividing the work among several
teams working in parallel, each is focused on a functional
area of the solution, with each team member accountable
for a layer of the solution.
- Multiple
Releases – by allowing more feedback early, relevant
adjustments to later versions are made easier. Each
iteration builds on the strengths of the ones before
it, while preserving the shortened time to delivery.
