ADS Skirmish
For companies who want to take full
advantage of Agile practices, ADS Skirmish is a system that aligns all
aspects of your business with your core, Agile development team. Unlike
current methods that focus solely on the development aspects, ADS
Skirmish allows the entire company to gain the benefits of Agile. Phase 1 - Control the Chaos (Stabilize)Phase
1 companies don't know where they stand or how to get on track; but,
they know they need change and are open to it. Some agile practices are
in place, but aren't being followed. Metrics are practically
nonexistent, and decisions are being made from misinformation. Everyone
is busy, but little seems to get done. In phase 1 we stabilize
development, get a clear, honest picture of the current situation. A
custom metrics dashboard is developed to provide management with real,
actionable information, and current business processes are documented
and assessed. Phase 2 - Take the Company Agile (Increase Agility)Phase
2 companies have an agile team that delivers reliably and consistently.
Development is more or less stable. However, sales, marketing, support,
and operations are not aligned with the capability or process of the
team, and root causes of business issues remain unknown. In phase
2 we prepare the company for maximum growth through alignment of all
operations with the agile team. Transparency across all levels and
functions of the organization is increased, and key performance
indicators of each department are added to the metrics dashboard. Phase 3 - Sustainability (Sustain)Phase
3 companies are streamlined, agile operations, where everyone is
working toward a known, common goal. However our work is never done,
and implementing the latest knowledge of agile and other principles can
help ensure preparedness for the future. We work with phase 3 companies to ensure sustainability and continuous improvement of the agility of the company. |
