PEA works with the client organization in designing customized internal employee-certification programs in software performance engineering. These customized certification programs provide a mechanism that helps our client to distill and scope the vast body of knowledge into a subset that is tailored to their specific needs.

How We Work
In order to design these certification programs, we talk to the different stakeholders, and do sampled assessment of the following across different types of project executed by the client:

- Proposals and SoWs

- Client deliverables

- Technologies involved

- Performance guarantees, SLA's expected from these clients

- Any repeated problems, or nature of complaints

- Business revenue losses due to skill-gap

- Tools available

- Experience level of professionals – entry-level, middle level, senior level

- Level of de-skilling or automation that exists in the environment

Another important aspect of PEA's approach is to mitigate future risk by understanding the evolution curve of the organization's service profile, and making a projection of it to the future. Every year, the requirements change, and PEA's objective is to make the organization agile in the transformation, by incorporating this understanding into the Certification Program Design.

Engagement Model

To ensure a fresh perspective, our engagement makes no assumption of the existing maturity level or competencies of the organization, and we take a clean-slate approach in reviewing the organization's capability in Performance Engineering practices.

It is important to understand that the goal of Certification Program Design is in identification of required skill-areas, and ways of implementing them. It establishes the foundation for, and is clearly a pre-cursor to, any training programs per se.

As a part of this overall service offering, we also offer to our clients train the trainer programs in the area of software performance engineering.
