It is a known fact several projects are cancelled before completion and a majority of projects face massive cost overruns. It is not surprising, therefore, that companies frequently find themselves with a software project going off the rails.
Apposite an expert in getting projects back on track. The causes of project failures are numerous and very often not simply due to a failure of technology. We can assess organizational, process and non-functional issues, and extend audits to portfolios and programs. We give no-nonsense advice with actionable next steps. We have operated in most major industries and across a huge variety of technologies in projects that cover the spectrum of risk and complexity. Clients can rely on us to turn around failing projects as well as give timely, considered advice based on long experience.
The management and reporting techniques we use in audit and rescue situations are based directly on the techniques we subscribe to as delivery practitioners. We operate with a policy of total transparency and use objective metrics based on working, tested software. This allows executives to make decisions on the basis of timely, accurate and trusted information. And because our techniques are based on Agile principles we ensure continuous feedback, frequent checkpoints, and natural change control.
A typical organizational readiness assessment will include:
- Assessment of individual skill sets - architecture, design, coding, testing, project management, technology skills & experience, average experience
- Organizational skills - staff management, project staffing approach, organization skill mix, critical skill deficiencies, training and mentoring approaches, recruiting practices
- Cultural aspects that impact software success - "put in the hours" versus dedication to success of the project, unrealistic schedules, "get it out the door" versus disciplined quality process, etc.
- Software processes for development, maintenance, and testing
- Track record - defect rates, productivity, schedule & budget performance, and comparison to industry benchmarks for organizational performance
