Agility increases the adaptability of your business.

In today's fast-paced business environment, it is essential to regularly reassess and adjust corporate goals and values to keep up with the ever-increasing competitive landscape. Agile process models provide the ideal basis for this. Here, the focus is on the collaboration of all stakeholders. In this way, you lay the foundation for flexibility, responsiveness and high customer satisfaction. You never lose sight of your actual project goals.

Agility in everyday project life

We are convinced of the agile model and are not alone in our opinion: The CHAOS Report by the Standish Group (2012) shows that projects based on agile process models were successful in 42% of cases, whereas the conservative waterfall model was successful in only 14% of cases. In our experience, the essential criterion of "quality" must be added to the success factors of time, budget, and scope used in the report. This increases exponentially in agile projects. You can find more on the topic here.

 

Extensive project experience: We have experience from a variety of different agile projects. Therefore, we know which methods and practices are particularly critical for success.

Requirements management

The specification of requirements is given a completely new structure; the empirical phase of requirements analysis is a thing of the past: The product owner, who is responsible to the departments and project managers, creates a prioritized list of requirements (Product Backlog). He updates this at regular intervals, refines it and thus has the possibility to react individually and quickly to changing requirements.

Design & Programming

In cycles of 2-4 weeks (sprints), the requirements with the highest priority are selected and implemented by a project team. To guarantee high quality, a variety of agile methods are used; continuous refactoring, pair programming, as well as continuous integration and deployment including test automation, to name just a small selection.

Agile testing

We stand for the highest level of quality and guarantee this through the competent selection of suitable test strategies. We use suitable tools such as JUnit, Selenium or JBoss Arquillian to build a test suite from unit to integration tests. Practices such as "Behavior Driven Development" (BDD) are also used. These involve the business departments in the project at an early stage and thus increase participation and acceptance.

Agiles Mindset

In addition to process-related changes, the agile approach also means individual changes for all participants and organizational units. Agile projects can only be carried out successfully if they are accepted and embraced by the organization, by the teams, and by each individual. We take this into account through workshops, kick-off events as well as team and individual coaching in order to meet all project participants exactly where they are.

Benefit from our experience

In the analysis, we look at your current projects together with you, identify problem areas and jointly develop alternative solutions. The important thing here is to take a holistic view: from the selection and integration of suitable technical means and practices, the formation of agile teams and the company-wide adoptionof the agile mindset.
