What We Do
Bryan Derman
(consultant & instructor)
The "elevator speech":
We help companies and projects become more able to produce long-lived software that meets stakeholder requirements, often with large projects.
In reality, this encompasses helping projects and organizations to:
- become proficient at using Use Cases to capture requirements
- use requirements (Use Cases) to drive the software-development activities
- understand and apply effective Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) techniques
- modernize the software development methods and processes
- apply the Unified Process, or parts thereof
- apply the Unified Modeling Language (UML) within the context of a process
- create a business-driven, robust, resilient and long-lived Software Architecture
- refocus and revive a lagging or failing software development project
- build a cohesive, team-oriented working culture, especially for larger projects
- Over the past 10+ years, Derman Enterprises has had consulting engagements that have enabled us to assist a wide range of organizations and projects (look to the right)
