LMprime’
Our Approach & Delivery that Ensures Success
The complexity of business processes and related data require effective implementation strategies when creating or transforming PLM system environments. In either case, expert teams will face challenges emerging at any phase of an implementation project such as:
Process Analysis | Capability Description | Solution Design | Test Execution | Documentation Creation
LMprime´ provides a holistic view to PLM transformation and implementation projects, covering and integrating all major phases and organizational aspects during the project’s lifecycle-based upon:
A predefined solution framework
Industry process and domain-specific solution packages
An Agile concept definition and delivery methodology
Proven toolsets and best practice solutions
With LMprime´, projects in any industry domain can be approached using an agile concept definition and delivery methodology. With our associated set of tools, standardized solution concepts, and reusable building blocks as well as a proven PLM role model, we are able to support our clients to rapidly analyze, define and deliver solutions of the highest quality.
BENEFITS of LMPrime’…
Support the Process of Change
Lifecycle management concerns everyone in the company and requires changes to be made in the areas of organization, processes and working methods
Our approach considers these challenges and shapes the process of change together with our client. This ensures rapid implementation along with measurable benefits
Side-by-side with our client we transform and align their company goals with the daily business operations of their employees
Efficient Implementation
Early “Wins” are achieved in terms of solution benefits through correct prioritization
Reduced implementation costs of new system and/or enhancements
Higher Rates of User Acceptance
From the start key users are involved
Use case scenarios and software features are mapped to the existing system(s) as part of the LMprime´ solution framework
The solution is managed & delivered via our LMprime´ methodology which provides full transparency of the project progress
Shorter iteration loops keep the user community engaged
At any stage of a PLM project LMprime´ applies:
Iterative implementation capabilities
Detailed management of use cases, requirements and solution features
Visual modeling for all required artifacts
Data model definition and refinement
Agile content definition and solution delivery
Quality and change control
Specification and documentation
LMprime´ seamlessly plugs-in to the Siemens AdvantEdge methodology, enabling the usage of the software vendors’ best practices collected as part of the AdvantEdge Knowledge System (AKS) in order to enable a faster definition cycle.
Agile Methodology
Applying LMprime´ to all phases of your PLM project results in a significant gain in solution throughput and shorter delivery cycles.
LMprime´ approaches all phases of your agile PLM Transformation from process analysis to delivery and organizational change management using concepts like:
Agile assessment | Agile consulting | Agile delivery | Agile organization | Agile coaching | Agile support
At its core, LMprime´ imposes an agile delivery framework that spans from very early project phases and project assessment all the way thru system maintenance after final project deployment and roll-out including cloud-based service desk operations. LMprime´ is well suited to be combined with sprint concepts and their organizational aspects at any project phase.
LMprime´ Tools
Well-proven definition and development concepts require effective tools for realization. Our toolset covers functionality for the definition phase of a PLM project but also ready to deploy industry-specific solution bundles.
Being system independent by definition, LMprime´ promotes Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect (EA) for process analysis and requirements definition as well as data model description and solution packaging. Additionally, Atlassian’s JIRA cloud-based software project management application is used for planning, tracking and reporting purposes during the delivery phase of implementation.
In order to enable a seamless integration of definition and execution phases, LMprime´ provides a set of integration tools and plug-in solutions…
Siemens AdvantEdge adapter for Enterprise Architect (EA)
EA Model Driven Generation (MDG) template for Teamcenter
EA to JIRA connector supporting sprint planning and sprint execution
JIRA Service Desk operations for Teamcenter
AdvantEdge adapter for Enterprise Architect
The AdvantEdge adapter for EA allows a direct import and setup of AdvantEdge solution templates into EA. With this specific import functionality, AKS solution templates are interpreted and automatically re-built as business use cases and capability objects in Enterprise Architect. Based on this setup, business analysts and solution architects are immediately able to start defining system-related use cases and requirements and initiate the specification of a detailed solution in a multi-user environment enabling collaboration throughout specification and implementation.
MDA for Teamcenter
Model-driven architecture is a means of transforming a platform-independent model (PIM) into a platform-specific model (PSM). Based on OMG’s notification standard UML, the LMprime´ MDG for EA contains pre-defined artifacts supporting the specification process through:
UML Patterns | UML Profiles | Code generation templates | Code parsing grammars
The latter includes an import tool enabling the re-engineering of a Teamcenter BMIDE template into UML.
Enterprise Architect to JIRA connector
With the EA2JIRA connector, specified solution packages are transferred for sprint planning and execution from the specification phase into the execution phase. As a pre-action, solution architects are enabled to package solution bundles as JIRA tasks or subtasks and transfer them directly to the corresponding JIRA cloud project where they are assigned for execution to the respective implementation specialist.
JIRA Service Desk
Our JIRA Service Desk operation provides the capabilities of incident-, change- and problem management for customers and allows them to search for solutions or create incident requests to ask for help. This feature is offered as part of our system maintenance and operations to customers
