ADVNETLAB Methodology: how to improve quality in software development and engineering projects

ADVNETLAB Methodology was created on project-based learning, project management, and quality methodologies applied to the academy, industry, and consulting. Since 2013, it was implemented and tested for final year project advisory in telecommunications engineering degree, looking for increasing quality and quantity of projects and eventually forming high-performance groups. Eventually, to increase finishing efficiency in superior educational institutions. This methodology was also used as a complement for the management of software modeling and development. After 5 years of applying this methodology, tuning was required and developed. In this research, based on advisor final year projects and software developed some adjusts are proposed, clearing those activities reporting low added value to the medium term and focusing on required areas. Based on local and international experiences, best practices were updated.
