Approach
Created Agile Teams
Achieved agile training and practices of team members (external and internal), including additional training on agile tools which enabled the option of remote working.
We used software engineering partners to help augment the teams, accelerate delivery and provide expertise in certain technology areas.
We implemented several different engagement strategies ad hoc depending on where we were in the development process.
Managed Product Development
Provided specialized training and best practices to the Product Owners. The training optimized of the management of the product development cycles including of an outsourcing model, where Mageguide had a product idea but lacked either the technology or IT capability needed for full-cycle software development.
In this model, Mageguide provided the high-level vision for the product and the outsourcing partner implemented the rest.
Implemented via Program Increment’s (PI) each being 12 weeks long and followed by Innovation and Planning (IP) iterations.
SAFe Agile
Provided specialized training in best practices to the Scrum Masters and together we created and implemented an Agile Center of Excellence for Mageguide.
The Continuous Improvement Workshops facilitated their value stream identification (implemented in part via agile tools) and defined Mageguide’s Agile Release Trains (ART), which was implemented ahead of time.
The above ART’s provided the foundation and structure for the continuous improvement of Communities of Practice (CoP).
The outcome of achieving Live Agile implementation created the opportunity for further innovation which resulted in new business portfolio assets.
