Change is rarely easy. It has to be managed carefully to achieve desired effects without adversely affecting an organization, its development team, and its business partners.

 

Change management can be handled in a multitude of ways; no one approach is perfect. Every organization has different needs for their IT projects; no two projects are ever the same. Each has different requirements and risks, each will need different resources allocated to it, and each will require a different management approach.

 

Agile project management offers a flexible approach to successful software development. However, adopting agile techniques and methodologies changes the roles of the people in your organization who are currently responsible for ensuring that your existing processes were being used. People fulfilling these new roles will have to embrace these new changes despite the impact they are having on their jobs and professional identities. Thus, the first agile projects executed require special oversight.

 

Organizations may not be ready to accept the use of agile techniques. In some cases, a hybrid approach combining the best of traditional “waterfall” and agile methods might be best for a particular situation. We can help you determine what course of action is best suited for your organization’s culture and capabilities, and how to tailor your approach to meet the needs of individual projects.

 

Adaptyze will work with your organization to lay out an agile implementation vision and roadmap, build checkpoints into the process, and empower affected teams to be collaborative and self-managing. Throughout, we will coach, guide and assist your development team in understanding its new roles and in achieving its goals.

 

If you are already trying to implement an agile framework such as Scrum, we can help assess your efforts and suggest ways to maximize your chances of success.
