ATERN
Philosophy
The Atern Philosophy
is that any project must be aligned to clearly defined strategic goals
and focus upon early delivery of real benefits to the business.
This is best achieved
when key stakeholders understand the business objectives, are empowered
to an appropriate level, and collaborate in order to converge on the
best possible solution. This solution will be delivered in the agreed
timescale, according to the priorities set by the business.
The stakeholders must
be prepared to deliver a fit for purpose solution. They must also
be prepared to accept that change is inevitable as they understand
more about the solution being developed.
The Atern framework details
a set of eight working Principles which guide practitioners in the
adoption of the Philosophy. They are supported by a Project Lifecycle
(Process) with defined Products, Roles and Responsibilities (People),
and recommended Techniques (Practices).
