Work with Agile - Efficient Methods
Unlike other approaches, Agile focuses on the people doing the work and how they work together.
Solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing teams using appropriate practices to their context.
Starting with the well known framework Scrum we support your teams in defining their Agile methodologies.
The Team
We support your team members in their self-management and cross-functionality role.
We provide the digital tools to remotely share Sprint Boards, Domain oriented Backlog and a Global Sprints Overview.
Responsible for all product-related activities, from stakeholder collaboration, verification, maintenance, operation, experimentation, research and development, and anything else that might be required, the team must be sharp.
Scrum Master
The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing the Scrum framework within a team. He is also accountable for the Scrum Team’s effectiveness.
Product Owner
The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management.
Developers
The Developers are accountable for:
- creating the Sprint Backlog,
- instilling quality by adhering to a Definition of Done,
- adapting their plan daily toward the Sprint Goal,
- holding each other accountable as professionals.
The Product Backlog
We support the Product Owner in:
- the bootstrap of the Product Backlog,
- the creation and communication of the Backlog items,
- the transparency of the Product Backlog,
- the ease of its ongoing activity to add details, such as a description, order, and size.
We also guide management in decision making by inspecting the Product Goal, the increments and the backlog items.
The Sprint
We provide you with a Scrum Master if needed, or support yours in its role of coaching the team members to ensure that all Scrum events take place in a positive and productive way.
Sprint planning
This event initiates the Sprint, the entire team collaborate to create the planning of work to perfom for the Sprint.
Daily scrum
A short daily meeting that aims to inspect progress towards the sprint goal, it helps adjust upcoming scheduled work as needed.
Sprint review
The team inspects the Sprint outcome and determine future adaptations. The team also presents the results of its work to stakeholders and progress towards the product goal is discussed.
Sprint retrospective
The team inspects how the last Sprint went with regards to individuals, interactions, processes, tools, and their Definition of Done, the purpose being to plan ways to increase quality and effectiveness.

Work with Agile Software Development - Actual risks
Since the Scrum framework does not provide people with detailed instructions but guides their relationships and interactions, it may leads to a messy, out of control and unmotivated teams.
Various practices exist to forecast progress, such as burn-downs, burn-ups, or cumulative flows. While proven useful, these do not replace the importance of Empiricism. In complex environments, what will happen is unknown. Only what has already happened may be used for forward-looking decision making.
To avoid turning the benefits of agile methods into a counterproductive organization, we make sure that each project’s member and managers feel comfortable with their role so that the balance is perfect.
