Build the operating model around the work — and make compliance part of it.

Often companies have all their process descriptions and defined templates stored in a number of different (legacy) platforms or just as descriptions in Office documents. Migrating such process content into a common and easy to use the open platform is quite a challenge. Analysing such content and migrating it to a state-of-the-art process model is one of our core competencies.

• Reduce your effort to create a migration approach and speed-up the design of your common process model.
• Templates and work products are defined in a sophisticated work product model to avoid overlaps and increase interfaces and transparency.
• Users gain fast and easy access to needed templates and helpful practices for their daily work.

Extend your process development capacity with our specific knowledge and skills. We develop new processes from scratch or based on existing standard models. Use our in-depth skills to engineer light-weight work product models and easy to use practice libraries as part of your onsite team.

• We construct processes that are optimally suited to your needs and within best practices of elegant process design.
• Our expertise — e.g. the separation of the project (often transient) and application (often long-living) artifacts — releases you from the task of having to start from scratch.
• We are not tied to specific tools or modes of approach. Therefore, we build your processes independently and with a focus on your organisation.

Outsource some or all of your process engineering tasks into our responsibility and benefit from higher professionalism and lower cost as part of the service level agreement. Potential improvements regarding agile processes, industry-specific reference models or integrated customizations complement our sophisticated service.

• Concentrate on your core business areas while receiving state-of-the-art quality and process management service including cost-efficiency based on scaling effects.
• Benefit from our experience not only in process engineering but also in lean-agile product development and compliance.
• Excellent know-how transfer — existing and established processes are improved based on common best practices and periodic user feedback.

The mapping of defined reference models like Automotive SPICE, CMMI, CTR-180 (FDA), ISO 9000 and many more to agile methodologies is a challenge if you do not have deep knowledge of agile frameworks. We support you in the transformation of your existing processes into an agile methodology while staying compliant with your given standards.

• Shorten engineering time for your individual agile product development method within given regulatory constraints.
• Extend your existing and proven processes with validated best practices from the global agile community.
• Optionally benefit from the already available solution Applied SAFe®, a comprehensive and customizable implementation of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) as a process model.

Regulated engineering organizations can face many overlapping standards, regulations, internal policies, and customer requirements. Translating each source independently into another process layer creates duplication and makes the process landscape increasingly difficult to manage.

This service uses the Applied SAFe® Platform to map individual requirements to the activities, work products, roles, and practices intended to satisfy them. AI accelerates the mapping, evaluates coverage, identifies requirements that are only partially or not covered, and recommends targeted changes to the operating model.

• Reduce manual requirement-to-process mapping effort.
• See where one process element satisfies obligations from several sources.
• Identify gaps before an external assessment.
• Keep recommendations traceable to the requirements that triggered them.
• Avoid unnecessary standard-specific process duplication.
• Establish a reusable compliance structure inside the operating model.

One organizational process rarely fits every ART, endeavor, product, project, team, supplier model, risk class, or regulatory context. At the same time, maintaining independent local process copies quickly creates fragmentation and makes updates, compliance, and governance difficult.

Tailoring & Variant Architecture defines how one governed organizational baseline resolves into the process that actually applies in each context.

• Reduce unnecessary process work.
• Let teams work differently where their context genuinely requires it.
• Avoid disconnected local process copies.
• Keep common roles, interfaces, and work products aligned.
• Make regulatory applicability explicit.
• Propagate organizational changes through inherited variants more systematically.
