Agile Consulting and Training

Preparing a Business Case for Agile – In many organisations there is often a lack of a strategy or plan for transitioning to Agile and this can hinder senior management sponsoring your initiative to implement Agile. Sogeti’s consultants work with your business stakeholders to develop and prepare the Business Case for Agile with a focus on the expected return on investment and benefits. Agile promises many benefits but to maximise these the specific method and tools adopted must be aligned to your business priorities and organisational context.

Agile Readiness Review – Using Sogeti’s 'Agile Adoption Curve' and our comprehensive 'Agile Readiness Assessment Framework' our experienced consultants will work with you to understand your current software development approaches and the areas of change required to transition to Agile. Evaluating factors such as team structure and dynamics, requirements gathering and quality assurance processes, the analysis can identify barriers to agile adoption and will be used to develop an informed adoption strategy. A key deliverable will be an Assessment Report containing an evaluation on your readiness for Agile, showstoppers that need to be addressed and a strategy on how to approach the transition.

Agile Maturity Assessment – Sogeti offers an Agile Maturity Assessment Framework that our consulting team use to assess your current Agile implementation. Rather than focus on compliance to any agile method, we examine how each practice is generating value such as contributing to business agility, quality, productivity and other factors that you pre-define. The in-depth analysis will identify underlying causes where agile is not delivering the expected level of business value. Key findings and actionable recommendations to address any shortcomings will be included in a comprehensive  Assessment Report. Read more

Agile Testing

In our experience, the focus of Agile project teams is often heavily geared towards the project management and development deliverables. However, it is important to note that the role of testers does change significantly on Agile project teams. Moreover, there can often be a lack of focus on the different test levels and non-functional testing aspects which ensure that the software solutions delivered are fit for operational deployment and live production.

Sogeti has a dedicated team of Test and QA professionals who have worked on a variety of Agile projects and can offer skills in the following areas: Agile Test Strategy, Agile Test Approaches, Exploratory Testing, Non-Functional Testing (Performance Testing, Load Testing etc), Test Automation etc. Contact us for more information
