Improve collaboration and transparency with the business to minimize project failure.
Onsite Workshop
By not addressing your development inefficiencies and communication issues, you may see:
Increasing pressure to create applications with poor communication, unrealistic deadlines, and insufficient resources, which leads to end-user complaints and rising support costs to address poorly design bugs and defects.
Lack of stakeholder interaction, allowing poor ideas to be translated into mediocre products.
Agile being blamed for project failure even though the root causes behind your failures are not related to Agile development.
Agile will introduce the following attributes that will positively impact your development team:
Collaboration: Emphasizing collective progress ownership motivates team members to work through issues in a professional manner.
Iterations: Provides more opportunities for end-user and product stakeholder feedback, as features are tested and released after each process increment.
Continual improvement: By having regular briefings, the team is able to self-manage improvements and can better focus on innovation efforts.
Prioritization: The most important requirements are executed in the current iteration, even if it is a modification of a previous delivery.
