An Agility assessment to foster innovation and build a holistic Agile culture and environment
A Tier-1 bank client had multiple projects with hard delivery deadlines. The bank asked Synechron to:conduct an Agility assessment, recommend to leadership ways to enhance the bank’s Agility and detail how the bank could preserve and expand the newfound Agility. Synechron developed a customized multi-factor assessment approach which included analyzing: team dynamics, product management including Definition of Done (DoD), sprint ceremonies and backlog grooming,and DevOps including frequency of deployment
We developed a multi-phased assessment methodology for assessing: teams, ceremonies, individual discussions, and analyzing artifacts and the system of record.
- Phase 1: Synechron observed team ceremonies, dynamics, practices and mindsets, gathering data through self-assessments from all teams and having candid, one-on-one discussions.
- Phase 2: Synechron conducted follow-ups and internal collaboration, summarized gaps and themes, developed recommendations and a solutions roadmap, and aligned on next steps.
We provided the following services to deliver success
- Detailed positive observations and prioritized areas for improvement
- Mapped out strategic long-term recommendations
- Suggested the steps/elements for establishing an Agile Community of Practice
- Consulted the bank on the steps necessary to maintain an Agile cultural change, sustaining/expanding Agility gains, and promoting lasting change and continual improvement
The overall project is expected to result in:
- A greater amount of on-time sprint and release delivery
- Increased transparency and efficiency, better communication, collaboration.
- Reduced risk, fewer dependencies and delays.
- Higher performing teams from long-term sustainability and scalability of Agile practices
