Requirements Engineering

Reduced budgets, tougher competition, increasingly complex products and shorter product cycles are the current challenges facing development companies. If you

  • want to manufacture something,
  • develop something together with others
  • or wish to purchase something,

you have requirements that you need to understand and manage. The use of requirements engineering is an essential part of large corporations and middle-sized companies, for the successful development products and systems.

Modelling

People have been using models to depict reality from time immemorial. Modelling enables

  • reduction down to the relevant aspects
  • construction and planning
  • abstraction of the complexity

In systems and software engineering, modelling is a primary tool for eliciting, specifying and understanding requirements. At HOOD it has always been used in all key areas of system and software development.

Systems Engineering

The important aspects of developing complex products such as

  • system analysis, architecture and design,
  • version and configuration management,
  • verification and validation

can be summarised under the term 'systems engineering'. HOOD will help you to master the various challenges of systems engineering. HOOD is your partner for systems engineering!

Agile Methods

HOOD coaches agile teams in the use of lightweight, but nevertheless professional requirements engineering in process frameworks such as

  • Scrum or
  • Kanban.

Being agile means being flexible, proactive and adaptable, and acting with initiative in times of change and uncertainty. It means doing the right thing at the right time in the right amount.

Processes and Process Improvement

HOOD will support your organisation in introducing and improving processes based on maturity models such as

  • Rational Unified Process (RUP)
  • CMMI and
  • ISO15504-SPICE.

For process changes to be successful, it is important that those affected are involved in the improvement initiatives at an early stage.

Consulting

Are you developing the right product?

The challenges in system and software development are no longer restricted to actual engineering. One of the significant success factors for a company is whether it can launch the right products at the right time and whether these products meet the requirements of the customers. Amongst its consultants, HOOD has extensive knowledge of requirements engineering, and related fields in systems engineering, which will help you to elicit and understand your customers' requirements and to incorporate them into your products. HOOD's consultants are available to help you develop the right products.

Coaching

Firmly establish changes!

In order to ensure the long-term success of an organisational change, such as an improvement in requirements engineering, it is necessary to provide those staff affected with comprehensive training. Although training is an important first component in any such change process, further measures are also indispensable. Specialist coaching for individual roles in an organisation is an effective way to reinforce changes in a team.

Training

New knowledge for your employees!

Your employees are the most important commodity in your organisation. With its training courses and workshops, HOOD will ensure that your employees continue to develop in line with your company's strategies and the continually changing work environment. We want your staff - whether they are developers, project managers, quality assurance staff, business analysts or senior managers - to be able to meet the challenges of continually changing development processes and, therefore, offer an extensive training portfolio.

Software Development

Seamless integration of your software tools in your processes.

Modern systems and software engineering in large projects is no longer possible without software tools. There is an appropriate tool for each individual systems engineering discipline. However, these tools are often not entirely suitable for your situation. What's more, the seamless integration of different tools across various disciplines, in most cases, remains an objective that cannot be fulfilled. HOOD's Software Division offers you the opportunity to customise these tools according your particular situation and to integrate then into your development environment.

Project Support

Professional help for your team!

In times of economic uncertainty, many companies stop recruiting new staff. But to make sure they don't miss out on the next economic upturn, highly qualified staff are essential. Are you facing such challenges?

HOOD can help you to master this balancing act. We can provide you with excellently trained staff, or even complete teams at short notice.
