Quantik’s Agile Transformation Services help start the journey of agility, self organization, and continuous improvement. We show you the path and guide you through the early steps towards agility.
For customers who are wondering if Agile, Scrum, Lean, or Kanban is for them, Quantik conducts an assessment of the assets, tools, and challenges facing the customer and offers a roadmap with a set of specific recommendations to drive the organization up the maturity scale.
Most of today’s project management practices trace their roots to the manufacturing efficiency revolution in the 1970s and 1980s. While the lean principles remain valid today, the methodology and frameworks are out of date in the social, on-line, and mobile era we live in

HOW IT’S DONE

Transition to Agile ​

Many organizations are moving away from the traditional waterfall project management methodology in response to the frequent disappointments they have experienced.
These disappointments are familiar to all of us: receiving products that do not meet our needs or expectations, poor adoption and usage of the new solution and projects that spin out of control in terms of cost and time.
​Another major motivator is the fact that it is sometimes not possible to know what needs to be built: the users and problem owners simply cannot imagine what they need and so the project cannot be planned in the traditional way, based on a list of requirements.

The answer to these issues is to use an Agile methodology, to deliver the solution to the customer in small increments and use constant testing, review, and feedback to guide the development process. The product development then stops when the customers have received enough valuable features and functionality to satisfy their needs. And so these projects never take longer or cost more than necessary.
​The problem is that transitioning from using a waterfall methodology to an Agile method like Scrum can be a bit tricky. The team structure is unique and the planning and estimating methods are totally different from the traditional approach. This is where an Agile coach can be essential to enjoying the benefits of switching methods.
