Agile is a mindset that is based on the Agile Manifesto. Although Agile has been around since the 1990’s it is currently one of the most popular and ingrained method’s of delivering programs and projects. One of areas that it addresses is that project success is measured not just by completion of the scope of work to time, cost, and quality, but also by performance of the project’s outputs, outcomes, and impacts. Moreover, whether your implementing Agile for all your projects and are in the midst of your journey or considering using these methods, careful planning and your environment must be taken into consideration. This is especially true for commercial industries that are highly regulated as well as governmental organizations. And, with that said some industry experts believe that top three reasons for agile project failure are:
- Inadequate experience with agile methods
- Little understanding of the required broader organizational change, and
- Company philosophy or culture at odds with agile values
At KPG Global Enterprises, we utilize agile frameworks and methodologies that assure your initiatives achieve the desired outcomes and objectives. This may include but is not limited to the following:
- DevOps
- Continuous Integration/Continuous Development
- Scrum
- SAFe Framework
- FDA Regulatory in an Agile Environment
- Digital Compliance in an Agile Environment
- DevSecOps
We will work with you to embrace agile values such as individuals and interactions over processes and tools working software over comprehensive documentation customer collaboration over contract negotiation and responding to change over following a plan. However, our point of view is that there is more to “going agile” than adopting an agile methodology for a project or program. We will work with you and your organization to go on a journey and carefully consider why you need to be agile, how agile you really need to be, hybrid considerations, and what kind of projects need to be agile. After we answer these questions together, we will select the right methodology and begin to derive the benefits such as increased productivity, time-to-market, and defect reduction.
