Best Practices

The term “Best Prac­tices” has almost become a cliché—mean­ing­less and used in a broad, generic sense.  While we don’t sub­scribe to a one-​​size-​​fits-​​all mean­ing, there are spe­cific method­olo­gies, stan­dards, and guide­lines that are uni­ver­sal and make sense to use.  We apply our expe­ri­ence and com­mon sense to help you tai­lor and scale these best prac­tices to max­i­mize their ben­e­fits in your enter­prise, pro­gram, or project.  Lead­ing best prac­tices we are famil­iar with include:

  • PMI’s Project Man­age­ment Body of Knowl­edge (PMBOK)
  • IEEE soft­ware engi­neer­ing stan­dards and guidelines
  • Capa­bil­ity Matu­rity Model Inte­grated (CMMI)
  • SixSigma, Lean, Agile, and Scrum
  • ISO-9001:2008, ITSM, ITIL V3, and ISO/​IEC 20000
  • Uni­fied Process (UP) and Uni­fied Mod­el­ing Lan­guage (UML)
  • HP Qual­ity Process (QP),Rational Uni­fied Process (RUP)
  • User Inter­face (UI), Usabil­ity, User Expe­ri­ence (UX), and Internationalization
  • Legacy mil­i­tary stan­dards includ­ing MIL-​​STD-​​498, MIL-​​STD-​​2167A, and DIDs
  • Com­mon gram­mar and style guide­lines includ­ing the GPO Style Man­ual, The Chicago Man­ual of Style, and Microsoft’s Man­ual of Style for Tech­ni­cal Publications.

We help you learn, adapt, and use indus­try best prac­tices to cre­ate higher qual­ity results—effi­ciently, pre­dictably, and repeat­edly.  We assess which method­olo­gies, stan­dards, and guide­lines are applic­a­ble to your orga­ni­za­tion or project and rec­on­cile these with what you are already using.  We doc­u­ment our efforts, pro­vide trace­abil­ity to the applied best prac­tices, and con­duct con­tin­u­ous process improve­ment to ensure that these best prac­tices are rel­e­vant and con­tribut­ing to your success.
