The ImageWork “Agile Collaboration” Development Methodology:
In addition to ensuring a quality Design & Deployment experience — ImageWork also brings a unique “Agile Collaboration” methodology to the development phase. “Agile Collaboration” is a change management protocol that maintains synchronization across tiers and teams. ImageWork believes that attaining “change agility” results in “solution agility”.
Agile Collaboration Results In:
- Assumes change as part of the product development life-cycle.
- Solves implementation challenges.
- Enhances developer productivity.
- Improves communication with business experts.
Agile Collaboration - Visual Representation:
Achieving Agile Collaboration:
- Requirements drive the model by default.
- When evaluating change — think across Tiers and across Teams.
- Categorize the change request as local or global.
- Global: Change affects multiple tiers/teams
- Local: Change affects specific tier/team
- Maintain a Tier specific “synch” status.
- Optimal State: All tiers are in synch
- Note: A “local” change request should not affect synch status
- Publish all category global requests through a common medium.
- Setup a collaborative workspace for ALL tiers to communicate
- Establish Fast Feedback Loops (FFLs) for rapid resolution
- Identify team leads for each tier to represent status.
- Nominate a position to manage/maintain cross-tier synchronization.
