ARIADNE is a project
management technology functioning primarily as a project management
framework. The framework concept is considered
today as trend and best practice in which innovative concepts like the
processes agility and adjustability towards managing technological and technocratic
investments can be supported. The frameworks are not considered as methodologies
and have no methodological restrictions related to the strict conformance with the
logic behind the methodology. The frameworks
are based on a pool of processes through which process models are developed,
under specific conditions per project, towards managing specific tasks.
A number of process models compose a methodology adjustable, to the project needs, goals and expectations, project technical restrictions, financial and schedule restrictions, quality considerations etc. The flexibility for developing agile methodologies per project can only be offered though a process management framework.
Ariadne is composed out of forty (40) process models (with each one having more than 300 process elements) supporting completely the systems development and system acquisition process. Every process model can be used initially through five different versions. This way, a project manger has 540 = 9.094.947.017.729.282.379.150.390.625 ways of using Ariadne at a high level. Getting into low level process composition this number can be raised to the power of 30.
