Consulting in software development from E5
We help companies to optimize and implement best practices in managing projects. We have multiple success cases in our portfolio, including Agile transformation, SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) implementation, optimizing SDLC processes and building PMO (Project Management Office).
How does software development consulting work?
The initial phase includes the review of company processes by our experts. We perform an audit and form detailed goals and objectives of the planned transformation. The next step is developing and agreeing on the plan of transformation and start executing on it. We are actively involving your employees into the process of change, so they could support it and gain required skills and expertise to perform in the upgraded environment. Our team is actively involved throughout the whole process: acting as coordinators and mentors, conducting required learning (trainings, lectures, webinars, mentoring sessions), assessing the progress and achieved results. We are not just providing recommendations – we help your company to implement them taking into account your business processes, specifics and limitations.
We help with:
-
Agile transformation and scaling. Our portfolio includes successful cases on Agile transformation, SAFe implementation, development process optimization and PMO (Project Management Office) implementation.
-
Proper development methodology choice. Based on client’s assessment, we recommend the proper methodology. It may be predictive methodologies (based on PMBoK standard). Or Agile (Scrum, XP, SAFe, LeSS, Scrum@Scale) and Lean (Kanban) frameworks. Or your own hybrid.
-
Project management process injection. We also help with new process set up: support with first meetings, help to coordinate launch of new roles and ceremonies, set up task tracking boards in Jira etc. With our support the process transformation is under control.
-
Training. Our company provides various training in project management, Agile, business analysis and product management. Also we support personal mentoring for project managers, scrum masters, business analysts, product owners and product managers.
For whom:
- Companies with growing technical department. You scaled up your IT department and old approaches didn’t work anymore. There’s no possibility to hire internal scaling specialists due to budget limits or lack of candidates on your local market.
- Product software companies with challenges in cross-department communication, requirements prioritization and software development planning and delivery.
- Companies which main focus is not software development. For example, your company is using software platform and you have a small technical department which customize it.
- Companies with communication gaps between technical and business departments. For example, your time to market is more than you need in order to dominate on the market.
