Happy Halloween! This year our team had the pleasure of celebrating the end of the spooky season together. The workday started with a festive breakfast and continued with fun activities between meetings.
An application maintenance has multiple purposes, support the end users, fix/repair newly detected bugs and deploy new features. Support the end users: The first goal of the application maintenance is to support the end users much like inform the garden visitors on our plants. To do this we will help our users to understand how the application works or by training them or even by assisting them to use a complex feature like configuring their very own report. Repair newly detected bugs It can sound counterintuitive, but even after a good testing campaign it is still possible to find some bugs in the application. This is due to […]
At each step of a PLM implementation project, we all already encountered any « unexpected and undesirable features » (Also called bugs 🙂 ) due to imperfect tests. It can be, for example, a regression of the functionalities or an error in the specifications. That is project life, and we must avoid them as much as possible using various quality means: automated tests are part of them. Automated tests are a concept allowing, well, to automate tests which were previously performed manually. They can be started for example every night or after each release. They are made using a tool which will allow you to: Create test scripts to simulate some use […]
At a point of a complex Agile project, from client or consultant perspective, have you ever asked yourself “Am I supposed to do that? Is it the scope of my colleague/partner? What exactly, as System Integrator, is the job of the Solution Architect?” Rather you are a Solution Architect, a Development/Functional Team Member, a Product Owner, a Scrum master or a Project leader, rather the project is complex or not, the aim of this article is to help you to know how a Solution Architect will help an Agile implementation project to its success. It also might be helpful to read this when the project becomes “challenging” and positions are […]
What is a PLM project ? The digital transformation of industry is an approach that uses cutting-edge technologies to reinvent products & services in order to accelerate operational efficiency and business growth. PLM is a business strategy designed to create, manage and share all information about the definition, manufacturing, maintenance and recycling of an industrial product throughout its life cycle using a Technical Information System. A PLM project is in this context a commitment to deliver a solution (IT application) that meets these challenges. A PLM project is inherently transversal by nature, distributed across the customer’s different departments, and carries the genetics of its products, its know-how and its market offering. […]
Agile methodology is a “fashionable” paradigm widely used in Software Development. Its numerous benefits on project definition, scope determination and delivery make it a powerful and efficient method. Based on our experience, we believe that – despite its simplicity and straightforwardness – Agile is a very useful method for complex and pluri-disciplinary projects such as PLM implementation. But how Agile methodology could be used to implement a sophisticated transverse program such as PLM or SPDM? What are the challenges and hampering points to overcome and what are the best practices? In this document, we propose to share insights and answers coming from our experience. Agile at a glance Agile methodology […]
What is a PLM data migration? To illustrate it in a simple way, migrating data is like making a removal. In fact, you are changing the place where they are stored. For sure, this analogy finds its limits insofar as data adaptations are made. Let’s say that it is as if you were using migration rules during the moving out. For example, your plates are separated: half of them are colored in red; the other ones are now stored in the lunchroom. This activity is almost always related to a new PLM solution implementation. That is why we are taking the opportunity to gather product data sources. As business needs […]
Consider the specific mindset of Analysis & Simulation engineers SPDM key users are necessarily “experimentation-minded” not so familiar with pre-defined processes guidance. They like to create new methods to get expected results. Start simple by tracking their activity in the system (steps, tools, results), you will get first SPDM value. Then implement first process automation on specific cases (simple simulation processes often used) and deploy progressively. Always keep simple ways to exit predefined processes and follow new steps. In addition, keep in mind they are often good programmers, so they can (even should) be deeply involved in SPDM technical implementation. Work with open and flexible technologies By necessity, Analysis and […]
