Consulting Overview

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)
