Project Delivery
One of our core propositions is expeditious value-to-market. Our team will work in two week sprints (delivery periods) to gain feedback from your business users quickly, and prepare production deliveries for every 6-8 weeks. This includes iterative business requirements refinement, solution design, configuration & implementation, unit testing, and roll-out
Governance
All teams are skilled in driving success; this requires proper project management including change control, risk mitigation, barrier breakdown, financial awareness, and activity communication. Along with daily touch-points, each week you will be provided with a high-level heat map of project success factors to ensure the engagement is on track. Our teams also provide documentation on core delivery outcomes to assure maintainability and supportability post-production
What is Agile?
While there are many definitions of Agile across sources, this type of software delivery is essentially a specific way in which people deliver technology solutions. It does NOT discount any part of other delivery methods, but it favors people over process, working technology over documentation, collaboration over contractual obligations, and flexibility for change over following a set plan
Transformation to an Agile Organization
If your company has delivered software in a similar manner for years, and are looking to either test something new or would like to fully make the transition to Agile, our teams can assist. We provide current and target project and program architectures, resource role profiles, and transition plans for moving away from your current methodology into an Agile framework
Transform into an agile organization
Agile Practice
At Kilby Solutions, our Agile coaching is not conceptual, it is practical. Our teams will collaborate closely with your resources, enabling them to lead and participate in sprint ceremonies (Agile meetings). We will provide proven templates for managing entry and exit criteria for each of the processes. Tools will be recommended for iterative delivery and roles & responsibilities will be defined for each resource within an Agile team
Planning and Funding with Agile
Technology is an investment in your people, your clients, and your business. It is often difficult for executives to adopt Agile into their organization due to the uncertainty surrounding delivery time and cost. Our company can help you bridge the gap between your teams delivering the highest quality product while responding to change and managers looking to plan and cost their portfolio
