Consulting For Individuals & Teams
You may find that you require expert professional advice from an external consultant. The individuals and teams within your organisation may have the answer but this needs to be discovered. At APD we offer both approaches and the benefits that are associated with each approach. Working at an organisational level with teams and with individuals ensures that your entire organisation understands the changes that you are implementing. Consultation for individuals includes focusing on you and your particular goals. APD will work with individuals within your organisation with regular consultations which are led by an experienced Scrum professional. This focuses on the one-to-one relationship and how this can be applied to team situations. Team consultations include assessments of how your team members interact. Assessing this allows us to help your team boost their collective performance as well as realise their full potential as a team. Team consultation involves a close look at the way in which team members interact and the technical processes that are carried out. Work flow and understanding of this workflow is also reviewed to boost collective performance. We also regularly measure core metrics to provide objective, empirical information to guide and inspire change within your organisation. These metrics include current value, ability to innovate and time to market. Regularly measuring these metrics guides change in your organisation.
Scrum and Agile Training and Coaching With APD
Scrum training with APD includes working with the UK’s first trainer. This also includes working with Ken Schwaber and the PST community which is an internationally recognised community. These ongoing Scrum accretions allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of Scrum and Agile methodologies and implement change within your organisation. From an individual who is just starting to work in Agile to individuals that have worked in Agile for a very long time, APD can help you with experience through all stages of implementation. A constructive review allows for an objective assessment to be created which can be used to decide from all of the choices available to you how it is best to proceed. Tailored coaching includes working collaboratively to identify and establish a common understanding of what outcomes need to be achieved. These are then agreed, working with individuals and their teams and management across your organisation to facilitate movement towards this agreed goal. Taking a unique approach to each situation, APD can help your organisation to identify their goals and facilitate movement towards reaching them.
Consultation Services - Using Core Metrics
The November edition of this blog looks at using the consultation that APD can provide to find the answer from within.
Sometimes, professional advice is required to find the solutions to making change within your organisation. As touched upon, Scrum and Agile is a methodology and not a set of processes that can be followed. It’s extremely important to understand the ways in which Scrum and Agile methodology can be used before being able to bring about change within your organisation. Consulting can help with this, as you are able to receive expert professional advice from an external consultant. As also discussed, core metrics will be regularly monitored which will guide the change that you are looking to implement in your organisation. Collecting data can sometimes be seen as an oversight which is not particularly effective within an organisation. However, collecting data that is not used is definitely not a waste of time and effort. Understanding the data with an established framework and being able to act on this understanding is the key to using this data and benefiting from it. The other issue that may be obstructing change is the difficulty of changing the way that an organisation works. There’s also potentially a significant cost associated with instituting a change which makes this hold more risk should you not be able to uphold or maintain the significance of said change. Working with a consultant allows you to avoid this risk and the cost of an unsuccessful attempt to change your organisation.
Organisational Agility
It’s all very well to attempt to instil major changes in your organisation, but this can have a negative impact if the change is not instituted correctly. It’s complicated to change however APD will provide a framework that will help you make the right changes for your organisation. More generic structures seem easy to adopt at first, but because change is so complex; it may not be sustainable. The Agility Path framework, akin to Scrum; gives stakeholders full transparency and control over risk management. As mentioned in the discussion regarding core metrics and data, you can also gather relevant data which APD can help you to use in making informed decisions. This can allow you to decide where you can improve at the next stage of product development. As this process can be adapted whenever necessary, value is added whilst also reducing risk. In comparison to other styles of product delivery, such as the waterfall method; this is an extremely useful framework for delivering products. Especially where markets are constantly changing and technology is adapting, the Agility Path framework can adapt to changes to requirements and within markets. This also results in not being caught unawares should a significant update happen during the development stage of a product. APD’s cyclic approach to ensuring that change works best ensures that everyone fully understands their role. This challenge is a difficult one but APD will help you to build a learning culture within your organisation.
