Technical Development Standards & Management Practices

Technical Development Standards & Management Practices to ensure standardization and consistency. At its core, the primary purpose of a CoE is to define and develop standards and best practices. This includes developing and documenting templates, blueprints, and repeatable processes and methodologies for all significant work efforts such as:

•Estimating the level of effort

•Standardizing the format of documentation and deliverables

•Quality assurance

•Testing and validation

•Technical architecture maintenance

•Performance monitoring and optimization

•Program coding (standards and style)

•General project and resource planning, including internal, external contractors and solution implementation partners

To be successful, members of the CoE need to be steadily in tune with the latest industry trends, established practices, and emerging thought streams. All of the members of the CoE should be self-starters, who are interested in continuous learning and improvement of their skills and expertise.
