Pierson’s training provides a framework for project teams that promotes development iterations throughout the life cycle of a project using a RAD/Agile software development approach. NEW Virtual Instructor-Led Training is a time efficient and cost effective way of delivering training to individuals and groups of attendees without travel. When we use Web Conferencing instead of traveling, we use less gasoline and we reduce our impact on our environment. Web Conferencing is a green technology.

All of Pierson’s training can be conducted on-site.

If you have ever listened to Tech Support people talk about their work then it is likely you have been very confused. Even the simple words they use can have little to no meaning for the ‘normal’ person listening.

Pierson can provide you with a customized methodology for Object-Oriented development projects using the notation of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the Unified Process. This customized methodology can be placed on your intranet to serve as a handbook or guide for the software system development teams. This document defines the steps and phases that should be followed, technical modeling options, and refers to quality procedures which should be employed. In this methodology Pierson will provide your company with a repeatable process for:

		Using the notation of UML Modeling and Unified Process
		System Development Life Cycle deliverables
		Joint Application Development (JAD) activities and JAD Session agendas
		Rapid Application Development (RAD)
		Documentation templates
		Best practices to be utilized throughout the Problem Statement, Requirements, Analysis, Design, Construction, Business User Final Acceptance and Transition phases of the system development life cycle.

Listen to what others have said about the training Pierson Requirements Group can offer:

“I hired Pierson to come into Hallmark in 2002 to train a pilot class for a new repeatable requirements gathering process for Hallmark. I was the Manager of the newly created PMO whose task had been given by upper level management to bring Hallmark into qualification for SEI’s CMM- level 2 repeatable process. After Joy Matthews ran the initial training, I realized that Pierson had the ability to assess what our gaps were in order to become a top level organization and recommend solutions based on industry best practices. This proved to be a very successful project which Hallmark still maintains 5 years later with Pierson’s Requirements Group. In the middle of the project, Hallmark was rated CMM- level 3. Top management then brought in Accenture to assess the process and make recommendations for any gaps in the process. After several months, Accenture’s evaluation results stated that Hallmark was on the correct path and was already implementing a successful repeatable process with training that was customized where needed and which followed industry standards and best practices.

Pierson has trained 100s of business/systems analysts, requirements architects, developers, system architects, technical leads and project managers with a number of customized training classes to implement Hallmark’s “Quality Management Methodology”. Pierson is currently providing the same services for Hallmark Canada. I highly recommend that you use Pierson’s training.” – Manager of PMO hallmark
