As Scrum Development grows in popularity, many organizations are wondering how they are doing. Are they delivering more business value faster with fewer defects and that more accurately meet customer and user needs? For some the improvement is clear but for many determining the improvement in business value delivery is not discernable because there was no measurement of the speed of business value before the adoption of Agile.
3Back is offering a new approach to the assessment of software development teams using Innovation Games®. Having 4 officially Innovation Games® Trained Facilitators on staff enables us to help organizations quickly gain a deep understanding of their team's Agile development process, progress. This assessment will provide the next steps for the organization.
Each assessment program will be customized and tuned to the organization. The assessment has four distinct phases.
Phase I - Planning and Preparation
This phase will develop the plan for the overall assessment. Interviews will be conducted with key team members to select the specific facilitated discussions to be conducted. This phase will also plan the details of the event day.
Phase II - Facilitated Discussions Event Day
This phase is the actual day long event during which one or more Innovation Games® will be facilitated by Innovation Games® Trained Facilitators.
Phase III - Event Processing Analysis and Report
In this phase the facilitators will analyze the results and prepare a comprehensive report of the findings.
Phase IV - Recommendation Implementation (Optional)
This optional phase will include facilitated team and / or leadership meetings to address the assessment report.
