4 steps to becoming agile:
Assessment
Every team, company or project is unique but the challenge is the same: Successful Agile Change.
Our coaches have seen and supported many companies in becoming agile and can quickly recognize gaps in the system, communication failures and technologies that might be posing problems.
To identify your individual situation and in order to advise you on the best way to become agile, we start with an assessment in order to analyze, examine and evaluate:
-
Current software and product development processes
- Synchronization of business model and organizational structure
- Communication between all project participants
- Methodology and team qualifications
- Technical due diligence
Strategy
Transitioning to agile, like any major change, requires a clear strategy.
The strategy is needed to set the guidelines on how to support the teams as they adopt new working practices like Scrum, as well as informing and supporting the rest of the organization which will be inevitably affected by them. It is important to understand that once the transition to agile starts, it will never stop again as there is no “ideal” end state; agility is centred on continuous improvement rather than a single end state.
We develop and refine the right strategy for your company:
- Large or small
- Local or international
- Distributed or co-located
- New to agile or already using agile frameworks and ready to improve
Training
We provide interactive and targeted training to bring theoretical concepts to life.
- Executive management workshops introducing lean practices and agile leadership
- Recognized Certifications: CSM (Certified Scrum Master), CSPO (Certified Product Owner) & CSD (Certified Scrum Developer)
- Role-based trainings, e.g. Scrum Master or Product Owner trainings
- Developer trainings on agile engineering practices like TDD (test-driven development) and emergent design
- The Scrum Start-Up Package for small teams - kick start your agile team with more then just training
- agile42 Scrum Lego City - experience Scrum in practice in a fun and enlightening game
Coaching
Training may provide the tools and the theory on how and why agile methodologies work, but coaching provides applied knowledge and experience to help people fully adapt to the new methods.
The best way to grow people into new roles is a supportive and interactive approach. To accelerate the implementation of a new method like Scrum, Kanban etc. we recommend effective on-the-job coaching in addition to interactive training.
