HERMES is an all-in-one methodology for project and programme management. It can be used for a wide range of projects, from organisational change and information technology to service development. The Swiss government develops HERMES and makes it freely available as an open standard.
HERMES supports the steering, management and execution of projects with various levels of complexity and characteristics. It is a modular solution and can be easily expanded.
HERMES distinguishes between traditional and hybrid project management. Hybrid project management allows for different agile development methods to be integrated.
The Swiss government develops HERMES and makes it freely available as an open standard. It is recognised by the eCH Association as standard eCH-0054. Many cantons, town administrations, educational institutions and private businesses are now using HERMES.
