"Les différentes missions de conseil et support en Assurance Qualité et Méthodologie de Développement Logiciel  confiées par ALCATEL à SOFT METHOD se sont toutes déroulées à l'entière satisfaction des divers collaborateurs et du management, les objectifs fixés ayant été atteints dans les délais et les budgets fixes.

La société SOFT METHOD a mis en œuvre ses expertises avec un grand professionnalisme au sein de notre organisation, qu’elle a su appréhender avec efficacité et souplesse.

Ces éléments me permettent de souligner et de confirmer les aspects très positifs de cette collaboration, initiée par ALCATEL avec SOFT METHOD dès 1997.

En particulier Patrick Sarfati a pris en charge avec succès l’organisation et la coordination du renouvellement de notre certification ISO 9001 sur notre périmètre Telecom multinational

Gerard Vanderschooten a pris en charge avec autant de succès la Certification TQE1 (proche du TL 9000)

Jacqueline Lautmann a assuré le suivi qualité de Projets d’envergure, l’amélioration des processus de développement  et la mise en œuvre RUP / Rational Unified Process). Ces missions ont été pleinement remplies et les objectifs fixes atteints.

"Let me express my complete satisfaction to have collaborated with Patrick Sarfati (from SOFT METHOD ENGINEERING) in our recent contractual engagements.

Patrick demonstrated energy, creativity, engagement and a high level of competence, with a consistency I seldom have the pleasure to encounter.

I highly recommend Patrick for various related missions:

• Setting up organizational frameworks, operational structure,
• Implementing quality systems and monitoring their execution once implemented
• Managing and controlling complex projects involving multicultural teams based in various geographical locations

I would look forward to working with him again with immense pleasure and complete confidence.

"SOFT METHOD Consulting Company provided to us best quality support. Thanks to them, we got the worldwide first successful CMMI Certification (SCAMPI A) for Hewlett Packard in the Software domain at the first shot.

The implementation was elaborated to meet our real project needs. For that purpose, Patrick Sarfati implemented the fundamentals of Project Management (Risks, Dependencies, Milestones, Issues Management) altogether with Unified Process (Iterative) implementation. This was quite a very challenging job. Patrick managed that very professionally and I do think that without his strong support, it was impossible.

For our most challenging software development projects, Patrick implemented SCRUM altogether with eXtrem Programming to ensure a positive change of team spirit.

As a result, we delivered in time with an increased visibility and predictability and in best quality due to Test Driven approach and a set of automatic unit tests (JUnit).

Patrick was also successfully Coaching our PMI certified Project Managers all along this SCRUM and XP CMMI certified implementation.

In 2006 we were in the lead companies to successfully combine CMMI and Agile approach.

I strongly recommend SOFT METHOD ENGINEERING for CMMI, Project Management and Agile Methodology Consulting, Coaching and accompaniment.

I hereby want to express my strong appreciation of the work done by Patrick Sarfati in the improvement of our R&D process, starting with the redefinition of our Quality Management System, and ultimately leading to the CMMi Level SCAMPI class A certification of our product organization.

Not only did Patrick provide true seniority and leadership in implementing a completely updated Quality Management System and new set of processes, but above all he has been extremely instrumental in making them a reality in the day-to-day execution of our projects, coaching the individual project managers, both in our French and Indian operations, and helping our Quality Manager become the full time leader of this activity.

“In 2 days Soft Method Engineering helped us applying SCRUM in our first agile project.

It was very efficient as we had :

As a result the first sprint reached 100% of our schedule scope and quality target

In only 2 days Patrick trained us and coached tightly the Team on:

Patrick then did not stop after our Sprint Start, but is continuously coaching us by phone, Email and chat all along the questions we have he anticipated “
