AGILE
APPROACH

Techniques and practices of agile thinking and acting are especially valuable for our LMIS processes of the present and the future.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT THAT IS SCALABLE.

We manage projects from the initial idea to live operation.

Goals and product vision - visionary and realistic

We develop a vision with you.

A picture of what the future solution will be like, how the world will be changed by the future solution and what goals will be achieved by using the solution. The vision guides us through the entire development process and sets the direction in which we think.

Especially in an agile environment, it is important to pursue a clear goal and not to lose sight of it. Through our experience and your knowledge of your company´s capabilities, we are able to set realistic goals and create visions that we can implement together and thus make a reality.

Holistic solution

We develop with you a holistic solution, that fits your needs.

We look at your processes and get to know the people who will work with the solution. We plan with you and approach the goal, step by step.

For your solution, we rely on standard technologies as long as it makes sense and develop individual solutions where necessary. In doing so, the people who will work with the solution are part of the solution and can be taken along on the journey right from the start, thanks to the agile development process.

Implementation competence - with the right project sequence

1Product vision

We develop a vision with you. A picture of what the future solution will be like, how the world will be changed by the future solution and what goals will be achieved by using the solution. The vision guides us through the entire development process and sets the direction in which we think. Especially in an agile environment it is important to pursue a clear goal and never lose sight of it. But visions are not only for idealists. Thanks to our experience and your knowledge of your company's capabilities, we are able to jointly set realistic goals and create visions that we can implement together and thus make a reality.

2Requirement analysis

We analyze your requirements in detail. As detailed as necessary, but with the flexibility of agile thinking to design the solution during the implementation. We look at your processes and get to know the people who will work with the solution. We can create detailed process analyses according to BPM notation and show optimization potentials, that can already be used without a technical solution. On this basis, we work with you and our technical experts to develop a concept for a solution, that considers technical and organizational conditions and clearly meets the set goals. We also provide a cost estimate, so that you can estimate and evaluate the profitability of your future solution.

3Implementation concept

We record what we intend to do. We do not write novels, but we note down everything that is important for the implementation of the project. This includes the discussed functional and non-functional requirements, the technical and organizational framework and everything else that is necessary for a solid implementation. The implementation concept is our joint plan for how we want to and will implement your vision.

4Implementation

We develop a solution that fits your needs. Together. We plan each step together with you and approach the goal step by step. This is standard for us - different from the solution. Here we rely on standard technologies as long as it makes sense and develop individual solutions where necessary. In doing so, the people who will work with the solution are part of the solution and can be taken along on the journey right from the start, thanks to the agile development process.

5Delivery

We deliver. Every few weeks you receive a finished piece of the solution that you can see, understand and test. The agile way of working according to Scrum, enables us to provide a working increment of the future solution with every iteration. Thus, the vision becomes more tangible, piece by piece. We look at the results together in the review and can act early on, if the result does not fit the vision or if general conditions have changed over time.

6Commissioning

We won´t leave you alone, once the development is completed. If you wish, we can help you to set up and operate a productive environment, provide training and implement a support process.

7Go-Live

We want to bring the vision to life together with you. We advise and support you in planning and implementing the go-live. This can be a push of a button that changes your world from one day to the next, or a smooth transition with a step-by-step changeover to the new solution - in the way that best suits your situation.

8Maintenance and operation

We are also there after the go-live, to further develop the product together with you and to incorporate valuable insights from daily operation, so that even a good solution is continuously improved. On request, our Application Management ensures smooth operation and offers competent support around the clock.

9Continuous project management

We optimize your business value. Along the agreed goals, we design the solution in such a way, that it fulfills our common vision while creating value. We take a close look, which requirements really need to be met and which do not. Because only if the solution has the highest possible added value for you at the lowest possible cost, we will be successful together. With clear prioritization, it is possible to keep costs under control and focus on the essentials. During implementation, we always keep an eye on the costs and always check with you, which functionalities are really necessary to achieve the set goal.

SCRUM at our LMIS AG

Scrum is used in product development.

It is a framework for agile project management with the goal to develop, deliver and maintain complex products. Scrum is based on the assumption, that a development project is too complex to fully describe the result in advance and create a detailed project plan. Instead, an iterative approach is chosen, in which the product is developed incrementally and continuously improved. A clear and concise product vision ensures, that the development is driven forward in a focused manner and that the originally set goals are achieved. In addition to the product, planning is also developed and refined piece by piece, so that project planning concentrates on the essentials.

The introduction of Scrum in a company can require great efforts. However, if successful, the company is able to react to changing situations at an early stage.
Incremental product development makes the results transparent, reducing delays and misunderstandings. The short iterations ensure that errors and risks can be identified and eliminated earlier.
Scrum offers easy-to-understand rules that lead to high flexibility and agility. This leads to teams working much more effectively than teams in classic development models.

How do Scrum tools develop their full effect?

Across teams we created tools for individual project deployment and questioned the understanding of roles. The ambitious goal was to create our own manual! All LMIS employees now have quick access to relevant Scrum rules, which enables an agile workday.
