Strategic Consulting
For organizations
moving to object technology, or upgrading their use of objects, Pantheon
provides advice on current technology positions, transition strategies, and
best practices from industry experience. Top
Methodology
Consulting
OOAD, XP, RUP, OOSE,
UML -
the list of acronyms seems endless. What methodology should we use - or should we even use
one? Pantheon evaluates the project scope, the team's background and object
skill-level to suggest a suitable methodology or methodology mix.

Architecture
Review
Pantheon reviews the problem and suggests appropriate
object-oriented system and subsystem architectures. High-level design patterns
are applied to problems in order to simplify them to their essentials,
revealing simpler and more logical underlying architectural approaches.
Top
Design Walkthrough
For
existing designs, Pantheon conducts object-oriented walkthroughs, a proven way
to discover flaws early, disseminate design information and analysis
assumptions, and provide the design with a larger circle of ownership.

Review Reports
Review Reports can relate to
various areas of concern, e.g.,
- Technology Review provides a focused study of specific areas of an aspect object technology based on client's interest,
- Object Skills Review examines the level of object-oriented knowledge and experience within a project,
- Problem Review analyzes the state of a troubled project, and pinpoints what needs to be fixed and suggests how,
- Testability Review studies and reports on the design-for-testability aspects of the design. Top
Custom Prototypes
Pantheon develops
prototypes for a given project. Prototypes are rapid implementations to answer
particular questions about a design. Pantheon is able to develop fast
prototypes which answer such questions quickly.
Top
Custom Pilot Project
Pantheon
runs an entire pilot project for the client to demonstrate object-oriented
development in practice. Typically this is part of a larger mentoring effort to
bring client team up to speed on object technology
application/transition/adaptation. Top
Custom
Implementation
For clients wishing to off-load some aspects
of their object-oriented implementation, Pantheon provides able, fast and
efficient development support.

Guidelines and
Standards
The development of guidelines and standards is
vital to object-oriented software. Pantheon develops standards and guidelines
for design, coding, testing and documentation for object-oriented projects based
on specific client situations, skillsets, and needs.
Top
Pattern
Extraction
Often conducted on an existing project, the study
reveals design patterns - some obvious and others less so - within the project's
models. The result of the discovery and documentation of the underlying
patterns is an immediate and resounding enhancement in the team's understanding
of the design.
Top
Efficiency Audit
How
efficient is your software? The use of object-oriented languages without a
complete understanding can often result in inefficiencies that are invisible
upon a cursory examination of the code. Pantheon can conduct an efficiency
audit to locate ways to make the code cleaner, tighter and faster.

Project Management
Managing
an object-oriented project, as even seasoned managers of traditional software
have often discovered, entails key departures from traditional techniques,
making it at once more challenging and interesting. Pantheon can provide
specific assistance in this area, including deployment of experienced
object-oriented managers, as well as providing consulting on process,
scheduling, and people issues.
