Our Mission
HOOD supports you in introducing and improving Change Management, Configuration Management, & Version Management (CC&VM) processes in your organisation and in overcoming barriers during the introduction of a new CC&VM culture in your enterprise.
Our Approach
The change of the CC&VM process usually entails large changes in the current development culture in an enterprise. Therefore this change must be planned with care. Developers and senior management must be convinced that change is both necessary and possible in order for this change be successful.

Typical Questions that we can answer for your field:
How can configurations of requirements and their relationships to one another be managed?- How can you master the complex interactions of requirements, changes, variants, versions and configurations?
- How can traceability of customer requirements via system requirements, design models, requirements on components through to the implementation (software code) and test specification be created?
- How can configurations, that in addition to requirements specifications, test and design documents also include associated code-file be managed?
- How can the valid release of a valid, up to date, consistent specification be managed?
- How can the impact of change requests be followed from their cause via the impacts on specifications through to the impact on the implementation and test cases?
- How can the effort required for change be systematically estimated in order to form the basis for approving changes?
- How can project progress be monitored (status tracking) regarding the processing of requirements and change requests be reached?
