How do you make a pig fly?

Process and Tools : making the pieces fit

Tools support your business processes, to purchase a tool with no defined process to build it around is akin to trying to put together a jigsaw, without the picture on the box.Sarbanes Oxley, CMMI®, ISO20K, and their supporting frameworks such as COSO, COBIT, and ITiL have common requirements: ultimately, they are all looking for consistent working practices that exercise control and minimise risk. A process need not be changed each time you need to satisfy a framework or standard, it is the evidence required at appraisal / audit time that differs, and that‘s where aligning your tools to a well designed process can really add value in reducing time and effort.There is no such animal as an "out of the box solution" if you don’t have your process to provide the blueprint.By getting your process right and using it to set the requirements for your tools, effective solutions can be built

Our presentation is centred on "making the pieces fit"; aligning process and tools.
