Reports on Agile consulting and Agile process effectivity
measured with KPIs.
Tailored KPI-driven consulting engagement
We define the scope of the Agile consulting service based on the analysis of your situation, covering the areas of Agile project management consulting and software consulting where applicable. Next, we define target KPIs that will measure the efficiency of the adopted Agile methodology from different perspectives:
- Software quality (software availability, bugs found in production/per iteration, user satisfaction score).
- A team’s performance (amount of work completed per iteration).
- Business outcomes from process improvement (actual budget vs. planned budget, time to market).
