Overview
The objective of improvement initiatives in organizations is to adapt processes and tools to the organization’s needs. Thus, the use of processes and tools is closely related. The HOOD Group has a Consulting division and a Software Division to provide services in both areas.
To improve the RM&E process in your organization HOOD offers the following services. You can find a more detailed description of the services when you click on the links. If you feel that your special needs are not addressed by these services, please talk to us, and we will do our best to find a solution to your needs in the field of RM&E.

Establishing processes for Requirements Management and Engineering (RM&E) is a challenge for organizations, particularly for those who develop complex products or undertake large complicated projects. In most cases establishing these processes requires a change in the culture of the organization. HOOD offers a complete set of services for organizations, which support this change of culture. The services include an assessment of the current status in RM&E, the planning of initiatives for improvements in this area, the implementation of these initiatives, the adaptation of tools to support the improvements, and the constant support of RM&E after the introduction phase.
We offer our services depending on your needs. We can provide broad support (e.g. define new RM&E processes) or very specific support (e.g. define how the Systems Requirements Specification – Pflichtenheft should be implemented).
People are your biggest asset. While implementing solutions for you, we will work with your people in a way that takes their work patterns into account, so that we can achieve the targeted improvements for your organization together with your people. It is important that at all times we consider how the activities are perceived by the people who are affected by them. Each activity must be planned with the idea of supporting change, of supporting the people we expect to change, of supporting the process of creating a new way of doing things, a new culture. We know that this can be a stressful time and without care and planning, anxiety and fear may arise, and new ideas may be rejected. We must be aware of the real reasons for anxiety, which are not always obvious.
