<<EOF

What is <<EOF?

<<EOF is Project EIDOS’s Engineering Operating Framework, providing a comprehensive blueprint for defining, implementing, and managing engineering team activities in alignment with the organization’s objectives.​

​With 5 components; Release, Resilience, Resources, Quality and Evolution, it is a modular framework that can be implemented component by component or all at once.​​

Key benefits of using the <<EOF
  • Efficiency: Streamlines processes by providing reusable components and predefined methods, tools and structures.
  • Consistency: Ensures uniformity in approach, which is especially important in large teams or organizations.
  • Scalability: Facilitates the growth and expansion of engineering activities by providing a solid foundation.
  • Quality Assurance: Promotes best practices and standards that enhance the overall quality of work.
  • Collaboration: Enhances teamwork by establishing common language and procedures.
The 5 components of the <<EOF

Release

Raising changes through to the successful delivery of a change​

This encompasses the entire change process from initiating a change request to deploying the change into production, ensuring that each modification aligns with business requirements, is delivered on time and maintains reliability and performance throughout its lifecycle.

Resources

Onboarding through to optimising the engineering  workforce​

Engineers are pivotal to an organization’s strategic success. By defining and aligning the structures, roles, responsibilities, and skills of the engineering workforce, organizations can mitigate process bottlenecks and ensure that engineers are optimally positioned to enhance performance, foster innovation, and achieve overall success.

Resilience

Business Continuity by Withstanding and recovering from risks and unexpected disasters​

This focusses on the capability of systems to withstand and swiftly recover from disruptions. Implementing a robust engineering resilience process not only enhances the reliability and performance of software systems but also contributes to sustained user satisfaction and business success

Quality

Consistency, continuous improvement underpinned by compliance​

By prioritizing quality, engineering teams can achieve a competitive edge, foster innovation, and build trusted relationships with customers and stakeholders. Effective quality management is indispensable for achieving long-term success and resilience.

Evolution

Remaining competitive and being in the best possible position to benefit from new technologies​

This element of <<EOF focusses on the continuous pursuit of excellence and how engineering teams can be pioneers and at the cutting edge of innovation & development whilst balancing advancement with practical considerations to sustain long-term success and impact.
