Most software development teams - whether part of a Fortune 500 company or an independent software vendor (ISV), face serious challenges in today’s business environment. From reduced margins to growing competition, these teams are challenged every step of the way to accelerate time to market and lower total cost of ownership for their project. In this environment, an effective and systematic process to ensure proper project management, engineering excellence and cost management is essential.

Aeturnum Global Engineering Process was developed in answer to these challenges. It is designed to deliver high quality software within accelerated time frames and can increase the productivity of development teams by as much as 40-70%. It is also easily customizable to suite different organizational needs and expectations.

The GEP is derived from Rational Unified Process, Business Driven Development, SCRUM and Agile Development Methodologies, and is based on the following key principles:

• Adapt the process - No ‘one size fits all’
• Balance stakeholder priorities - Business goals vs. Stakeholder needs
• Collaborate across teams - Team effort
• Demonstrate value iteratively - Ensure proper direction of the Project
• Elevate the level of abstraction
• Focus continuously on quality

Aeturnum GEP has eight (8) disciplines:

The GEP leverages these principles to ensure best practices in software development and deployment. It also takes advantage of a development platform with ready-to-use business application services commonly used in enterprise applications. Together, these capabilities help development teams shorten time to market and significantly reduce total cost of ownership.
