To Be Agile...
...It's More than Just Hype
Many projects we worked on demonstrate that an agile approach is
SIMPLE because your teams will want to achieve results in time,
FAST because agile methods are easy to understand and implemented quickly and
EFFECTIVE because just one iteration/sprint is enough evidence to show that progress has been made.
Processes are important but they must harmonize with the skills and mode of operation of your teams. The great challenge for developing software, products and systems is the right handling of changes. This insight does not only pertain to product changes. It is also about changes within the team, the mode of operation and processes.
Our Approach
We offer you various project-based services, which work in tandem with your strategy, market status and your internal structures. We typically begin our projects with an assessment of your processes and structures and, for example the way they harmonize with your overall project strategy.

Technical & Process Assessments
An outside point of view often allows for a quicker recognition of gaps in the system, communication failures and technologies that might be posing problems. More often than not, these are minor discrepancies that cannot, however, be identified from within the system.
We analyze, examine and evaluate:
- Current software development processes
- Current product development processes
- Synchronization of business model and organization structure
- Communication between all project participants
- Methodology and team qualifications
- Types of tools used
Would you like to take a closer look at your software products? We will do an elaborate Technical Due Diligence (TDD) for you:
- Analysis of the technological infrastructure with regard to market standards, competitors and trends
- Product analysis with a focus on architecture, functionality, completeness- with close attention paid to the competition.
- Software development infrastructure, protection of assets, automation and efficiency
Optimized Processes
The right process is not merely defined by the process standards, process models or quality standards. Processes are only right, if your team understands, experiences and, in the ideal scenario, co-designs them. In cooperation with your organization, we will define the right processes for you and your projects and coach you with their implementation.

Working Communication
A working cooperation can only become a reality if your teams communicate effectively with each other. Even if, for example the communication between different departments and the technical developer teams is by nature a difficult task, there are easy ways to achieve mutual understanding. We'll help you improve the communication between all project participants.
Effective Teamwork
An important part of every agile method is the collaboration of the teams.
Teamwork is only a real team effort when all those involved have the same goal and are able to rely on each other completely, not in the least because they have to. We train your teams to have confidence in each other, consider tasks a common effort and to utilize their strengths and weaknesses towards reaching their goals.

Leverage Knowledge
The knowledge of techniques, methods, processes and expertise must be widely shared by all the members of your teams. If the know-how is limited to individual persons, other project participants may face considerable knowledge gaps when the knowledgeable individuals are absent for whatever reasons. We can show you how to make this know-how more transparent and accessible.
