Introduction

Although Agile methodology has become increasingly popular as the faster and more flexible IT development process, it still remains largely limited to small organizations. The scalability and paradigm shift that it entails from traditional application development are key challenges to its large-scale adoption.

We offer a range of Agile services that will help your organization improve productivity and speed-to-market. We help our clients to maximize their value-to-cost ratio and improve efficiency, especially in delivery models involving multiple geographies and vendors.

It seems like nearly every agilist today is a "coach". What makes us different is that we've been "doing Agile" and successfully coaching teams and organizations. That experience makes us one of a handful of exceptionally experienced, pragmatic, and nimble agile coaches.

 

Why Agile?

The Agile Methodologies provides many opportunities to assess and re-calibrate the direction of a project throughout the development lifecycle. This is achieved through regular cadences of work, With  sprints or iterations, at the end of which teams must present an increment of work that is ready to be shipped.

Agile software development refers to a group of methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.

Need for Agile Adaptation

• Acceleration: Accelerating business agility and speed-to-market

Being Agile and Doing Agile

Many teams believe they are Agile because they are following the prescribed Agile practices. For example, A team may think they are Agile because they are doing daily stand up meetings, sprint planning meetings, etc. There is a difference between doing agile, which relates to adopting practices and techniques, and being agile, which relates to the mindset and behaviors we use as we leverage agile practices and techniques.

Nowadays, most of organizations try to use agile framework in their projects environment, but they face with a lot of obstacles which have negative influence on their project or worse, on their key stakeholders. Agility is realized in different ways at personal, team, and organizational levels. Each one ideally reinforces the other and shares the same values and principles, but the traits and behaviors will be different at each level.

Project teams are Agile only when they understand that Agile is an adjective and constantly work towards it and also adopt the Agile mindset. The mindset change is required to make the transition from just ‘doing’ Agile to ‘being’ Agile.

We believe both sides are important and provide best practices for it. We strongly try to help organizations in all levels to Be Agile and Do Agile effectively in their projects. 

We provide training, coaching and mentoring services to meet the organization's needs.
