Strategy and Framework

SFIA-8 (Skills Framework for the Information AgeStaffing):

We adhere to SFIA for human resourcing. It is a global standard for describing the skills and competencies required by professionals in information and communication technologies (ICT), software engineering, and digital transformation roles.

The Project Management Life Cycle:

This is our framework for managing projects and operations for our clients.

PMLC is a structured framework that outlines the stages involved in managing a project from inception to completion.

It ensures that projects are completed successfully, on time, and within budget by following a systematic approach. The PMLC is typically divided into five distinct phases:

• • Initiation
• • Planning
• • Execution
• • Monitoring and Controlling
• • Closure

The System Development Life Cycle :

By following its structured phases, Yularatech ensures that our client systems are built efficiently, meet requirements, and remain maintainable and scalable in the long term. It is our process for planning, creating, testing, and deploying an information system. SDLC provides a structured approach to system development that ensures quality and correctness.

Accredited Standards Committee for Information Security Management:

This is our security framework to secure our client’s data and IP. The ASC ISM is an essential framework for protecting information systems and managing cybersecurity risks in Australian organizations.

By following ISM guidelines, we can achieve a high level of information security, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and effectively manage cybersecurity threats.

Scaled Agile Framework:

SAFe is a powerful framework for scaling Agile practices across large organizations.

With SAFe, we improve alignment, collaboration, quality, and delivery speed, ultimately achieving better business outcomes. It integrates Lean, Agile, and DevOps principles and practices into a cohesive and scalable approach for managing large-scale software development and delivery.

Reference: Scaled Agile Framework.

Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission :

We follow COSO for our internal operations and controls. The COSO provides frameworks for enterprise risk management (ERM), internal control, and fraud deterrence. COSO’s primary frameworks include the Internal Control-Integrated Framework and the Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework.

For more detailed information, visit the official COSO website.

Yularatech’s framework for IT Management & Governance:

COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies) is a framework for governing and managing enterprise IT accepted worldwide as an industry standard. It helps organizations create optimal IT governance by aligning business goals with IT goals.

COBIT provides a set of best practices, processes, and controls to manage IT risks and ensure regulatory compliance. It focuses on enabling effective communication between IT and business stakeholders.

ISO for Documentation

All our resources at Yularatech strictly follow ISO standards for documentation. ISO standards ensure consistency and quality across industries by defining best practices and requirements. Though ISO standards are voluntary but we widely adopted it as a global practice to enhance efficiency, improve safety, and facilitate international trade.

Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery:

Yularatech employs one of the three strategies given below that fits the business needs as per the business demand.

• 1. Pilot Light: A minimal version of an environment that runs continuously in the cloud, containing critical components required to restore full operations. In the event of a disaster, it enables rapid scaling to a fully functional state, ensuring swift business continuity.
• 2. Warm Standby: A partially active environment that runs in the cloud, containing a scaled-down version of the fully operational setup. In the event of a disaster, it can be quickly scaled up to full capacity, ensuring a faster recovery with reduced downtime.
• 3. Multi-site: Multi-Site in here involves fully redundant environments running simultaneously across multiple locations. In the event of a disaster, traffic is seamlessly redirected to an unaffected site, ensuring uninterrupted business operations with no downtime.

ITSM & ITIL for Support Services

ITSM (IT Service Management) encompasses practices, policies, and procedures that organizations use for designing, delivering, managing, and improving IT services to meet business needs. Documentation in ITSM ensures transparency, efficiency, and consistency in service delivery by detailing processes, roles, responsibilities, and workflows. It provides a structured framework for capturing and sharing information about IT services, incidents, changes, and configurations.

ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is a widely adopted framework for IT Service Management that includes a structured approach to managing the transition of services into production. The transition process in ITIL covers planning, coordinating, and implementing changes to IT services and infrastructure. By following ITIL guidelines, we achieve smoother transitions, improve service quality, and enhance overall IT governance.

Lean – Not Six Sigma

We have adopted Lean principles to reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, and increase competitiveness in their markets. Lean principles include customer focus, value stream mapping, continuous flow, and just-in-time production to streamline operations and maximize value delivery.

DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) and DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify)

DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) is our process for improving existing processes, while we follow DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify) for designing new processes or products with a focus on meeting our customer requirements and ensuring quality from the outset.

DMAIC and DMADV are two methodologies used within Six Sigma for process improvement and product development.

Our sprint rituals

Our sprints are usually fortnightly or weekly. At Yularatech, our sprint rituals include

• • Backlog refining
• • Use Case (user story) review
• • Design review
• • Ticket estimations
• • Sprint plan
• • Daily stand-ups
• • Sprint review(demo)
• • Sprint retro

PMI – Project Management Institute

Our preferred methodology for Project Management in the USA is PMI (Project Management Institute). It is a global organization dedicated to advancing the project management profession through standards, certifications, and professional development. PMI provides a framework of best practices through the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) Guide, which outlines standard processes and terminology. PMI advocates for the value of project management in achieving business goals and driving organizational success.

PRINCE2 – Projects IN Controlled Environments

Our preferred methodology for Project Management in Australia is PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments). It is a widely used project management methodology that provides a structured approach for managing projects. It divides projects into manageable stages, each with defined processes, roles, and responsibilities to ensure clear governance. PRINCE2 emphasizes continuous business justification, defined roles and responsibilities, and management by exception for effective project control.
