The forty (40) process models that support the ARIADNE Methodology [ARIADNE-PM(20) and ARIADNE-SE (20) ] form the base of the methodology
which provides the capability to be used in a number of combinations towards the
development of adjustable versions of the ARIADNE methodology based on the needs,
capability and goals of any project and / or organization.
In order to achieve this adjustability ARIADNE has developed all forty (40) process models through a set of five (5) different versions that can cover the needs of any organization.
The versions
of ARIADNE are actually a kind of pre-parameterized methodologies for specific
organizational and project sizes and management expectations.
The following figure presents all five version of the ARIADNE Methodology, which are actually twenty versions if we consider that both methodological approaches (ARIADNE-PM and ARIADNE-SE) give ten (120) versions, which can be multiplied by two (2), which are the types of projects the methodology supports (software oriented projects and non-software oriented projects).
If we consider that each version of the methodology has forty (40) process models then we are having 40 X 20 = 800 hundred process models that can be used towards the development of any methodology that can support the needs of any organizations with any project.
