The ARIADNE Methodology is a project management methodology for the development
and acquisition process of information systems and technological investments. The methodology is separated into two prime sub-methodologies
that can cover any type of information technology project, process and
investment.
The first one, the ARIADNE-PM (Project Management), approaches
completely the processes related primarily to the management of information
systems acquisition projects. Organizations
that can use this methodology are actually characterized as customers or
clients of the organizations that develop technology. These are the ones that purchase technology
or invest on a technological and technocratic corporate initiative and
investment.
The second one, the ARIADNE-SE (Systems Engineering), approaches completely
the processes related to the development of an information system. This methodology can be primarily used towards
the management of the engineering process by organizations that develop
technology for either internal or external projects or products. These organizational are considered to be the
technology providers to internal (inter-departmental) or external (other
organizations) customers.
The ARIADNE methodology has been developed in its current version after seven years of exhaustive research and development, completely financed by EMPROSS SITC and its Managing Director Dr. Evangelos Markopoulos.
