Through the application of a disciplined and agile software manufacturing approach and a complete process-driven lifecycle to component-based development, COSM Project takes software development and software management to the next frontier, putting it in context of a true software manufacturing environment, based on solid financial and software engineering principles, and where architectural principles, architectural processes, technologies, tools, and all the key areas that influence software development and integration today are defined and aligned to maximum effect based on your specific organizational maturity, project size, and overall business objectives.

The conceptual framework of COSM Project were described extensively in the best-selling book “Business Component Factory”, of which Peter Herzum was the main author. COSM can support a component-based approach to software development where all phases of the development lifecycle and of the whole software supply chain, including requirements analysis, architectures, design, construction, testing, deployment, the supporting technical infrastructure and project management are based on components.

Companies can adopt COSM to the degree that they need. On one end, COSM can be adopted simply as a set of architectural concepts on how to rapidly improve the effectiveness of architecting and integrating any kind of systems. This requires simply to associate COSM-trained architects and consultants to mentor, lead, or simply participate in your agile projects.

On the other end, COSM can be adopted as an extensive, well-defined approach coming with agile templates and predefined steps, an on-line set of licensable resources, and much more. 

Our consultants are experts in helping you extend, with minimal disruption and maximum benefits, your current in-house or commercial methodology (including RUP and XP) to truly take advantage of agility, enterprise-level architectures, component-based development, and webservices. They know how to define and establish the blend of agility and discipline that is most appropriate for your organization or your project. They are familiar with a multitude of architectural styles, such as object-oriented, component-based, service-based, service-oriented, and more, and can identify what is mostly appropriate, and mentor and eventually lead your company to the most cost-effective software success. And they have applied many distributed technologies, keep continuously up-to-date, and can mentor you on the adoption of …

Companies that adopt COSM have recognized the need to move their development beyond the early-adopter phase into a mature, reliable and agile manufacturing approach that masters the complexities in a fast changing world where return on investment is more important than ever. 

COSM Project is supported by the COSM Maturity Model, that significantly extends the concepts of the Software Engineering Institute’ Capability Maturity Model to address all the dimensions and key areas of Agile Software Manufacturing.
