ePatterns Practice Delivery
ePatterns consultants have decades of experience in architecture, program management, infrastructure, and engineering, with hands-on delivery experience including experience in setting up competency offices and governing local and remote teams.
Coaching, Training and Process Institutionalisation
We follow industry-standard processes, methods and frameworks. The Australian Certificate IV in workplace training and assessment informs our training approach, and we use the capability maturity model integrated (CMMI) practices to establish defined processes, introduce configuration management, and establish measurement frameworks early.
We will coach and train your existing local staff, ensuring all processes are defined as you establish your practice or office. We are experienced in working with offshore-sourced resources across various cultures.
Enterprise Architecture Practice (EAP)
We principally adopt the TOGAF framework but also use others, such as the Australian government’s whole-of-government (WofG) government architecture framework, and can adopt E.A. delivery approaches, including the GARTNER Enterprise Architecture In A Box 2.0
Whatever your organisation, ePatterns will tailor the approach, frameworks, and delivery style to suit.
For organisations with a strong adoption of Agile Methods, the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) disciplined Agile approach to enterprise architecture provides a useful framework for EA delivery.
Engineering Quality Management (EQM)
ePatterns consultants have helped establish engineering quality management practices in multinational embedded software engineering companies, adopting the CMMI delivery framework, Lean Six Sigma techniques, and the ISO quality management systems, including process ownership of software quality and risk management.
Chief Information Security Office (CISO)
The CISO, whether internal or virtual, has become the default office for prosecuting all cybersecurity within organisations. Our consultants have worked across the whole gamut of governance, enterprise, and project roles for decades and can assist in establishing your CISO.
Program Management Office (PMO)
We can establish your PMO, assist in uplifting competencies, assess delivery quality with external project audits, or provide project management training.
