Project Management


Automotive Project Management

Explore the unexplored, expect the unexpected, and … deliver in time. PMP or Agile methodologies, good communication and motivation skills will help.

DevOps Management


Automotive Software Development Tools

IDE is not enough to develop in automotive, many other tools are required. Requirement managers, UML designers, static and dynamic analyzers, code metrics, review and test tools, documentation frameworks, or detecting 3rd party content.

Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery System

The procedure from the check-in through integration, verification with quality gates and deployment is better to be automated.

Monitoring Systems

Monitoring the application in the live environment gives the ability to understand users’ behavior, detect and fix issues before they are getting noticed.
