Done-For-You Services

Agile Implementation & Training

The Methodology

Agile is a set of practices and routines for delivering value based on continuous improvement of smaller, releasable products, services, solutions, features and virtually every other form of value. Today, teams of every type and size are deploying Agile practices within their organizations, driving their key projects forward with greater clarity, visibility, and predictability.

The Systems

We’ll design, deploy, and train an end-to-end Agile adoption plan, tailored to the unique needs of your organization. We’ll help you leverage technology to the fullest by implementing the real time visibility and automation to know where every project stands, all the time; without all the confusion and ad hoc disruption slowing down your progress.

The Routines

From weekly planning and tasking, to check-ins and reviews, we’ll install, train, and reinforce the sustainable Agile routines and habits to help you and your team maintain clarity and alignment without the typical confusion and frustration, all while optimizing team communication and cohesion.

For Leadership

We’ll work side-by-side with your managers or project leads to design your ideal solution. Once installed, your leadership team deploys across their respective teams. This is considered our train-the-trainer program.

For Teams

We’ll embed directly into one or more of your teams, working directly with both leadership and their front-line team members to maximize team-wide adoption.

Project Planning & Roadmap Development

Strategically Aligned

We’ll help you map-out a complete written project plan, one that aligns your goals and strategy with the precise requirements, scope, and budget so you know-before-you-go before work begins. . Once completed, you can hand-off your roadmap to your internal development team, or we can drive your project for you.

Precise Requirements

We’ll help you document the precise requirements for one or more of your projects in language your diverse team members will understand, reducing the potential for confusion and delays caused by wasteful re-work and duplication from inadequate planning.

Quality Standards

Your brand and customer experience defines who you are and how you’re perceived in the marketplace. Quality cannot be compromised. We’ll help you develop the precise technical, creative, and operational standards to ensure consistency that maximizes impact while protecting your brand impact and reputation.

What You Get

Complete written assessment and project roadmap encompassing your precise requirements, timeline, skill-sets, budget and implementation plan.

What Comes Next

Flexible Pricing Options

FlexScope™ Pricing

Weekly or Monthly Retainer

Ideal for teams in rapidly evolving environments with multiple simultaneous projects, where priorities often shift mid-stream, where flexibility and adaptation is important. FlexScope™ solutions are free from the inherent constraints of fixed scoped models where mid-course priority shifts can trigger stops and restarts caused by change orders and re-quotes as real world events, data, and feedback inform new decision making and adjustments in scope.

Pros

Predictable weekly or monthly pricing
Flexibility to change priorities on the fly without the need for change-orders and requotes

Cons

More open-ended to reflect frequently shifting priorities and project deliverables
Too many simultaneous projects can reduce focus and flow

Fixed Scope Pricing

Flat-rate Project Based

Ideal for teams with specific, targeted objectives operating in relatively predictable environments requiring fewer mid-stream priority shifts and course adjustments. Fixed Scope solutions offer pre-defined deliverables with clear starting and end-points with limited variability. Clients may switch between Fixed Scope and FlexScope solutions at any time.

Pros

One flat price for specific pre-defined deliverables
Increased focus on 1-3 mission critical projects

Cons

Less flexibility to adjust priorities mid-stream
Potential delays caused by re-quotes and change orders due to shifting requirements (scope)
