Process Essentials - Rightsize your Agile Development Process

  • Loading...

    We make it simple to improve and adapt your team’s practices as well as create lean software process improvements. With our software development Process Essentials practice, you’ll be able to:

    • Identify, prepare and assemble a set of suitable practices and tools to support project objectives
    • Introduce new practices individually, gradually and as needed
    • Balance and integrate standard and local practices, preserving what your team does well while addressing areas that need improvement
    • Evolve your practices and the way you use tools—based on your experience and lessons learned


    The practice starts by establishing and launching the initial set of practices and tools as part of the launch of the project.Improvements are made by addressing requested changes and by selecting new practices and tools. The team is then coached in the new and improved way of working. The result of using the practices and tools is evaluated. The evaluation typically results in change requests being raised to improve the way of working. This cycle of improvement, coaching and evaluation provides the project with a framework for continuous process improvement. Additional practices and tools can then be added as needed to address project risks. Ineffective practices can be improved or replaced.
