Realising the Value from Agile
31 JAN 2012 | Posted in agile governance, agile project management, agile value, business value, incremental delivery | Author Rob SmithIndigoBlue has a long held view that incremental delivery, and the supporting incremental strategy, is core to the success of Agile management. This tenet is the basis for our governance framework and our approach to managing Agile at scale. Last week I was presented with an illustration of this in the shape of one of our customers that has recently piloted the use of Agile in their office in the States.

We call it Velocity, but is it just Speed?
05 DEC 2011 | Posted in ADAPT, agile governance, incremental delivery | Author Stan WadeThe definition of the word velocity as defined in a dictionary I just referenced is ‘speed in a given direction’. That has two important components and I am not convinced, that when used in an Agile context, both are always true.

Reducing the Risk of Project Failure: Using Agile in Government IT
08 NOV 2011 | Free BCS Talk |System Error: Reducing the Risk of Project Failure
More information
Overview
Working with a high level Taskforce, IndigoBlue supported the Institute for Government in their exploration of the key challenges facing government as it spends around £16 bn on ICT each year. The report, System Error, recommended a new dual approach to government ICT that emphasises adaptability and flexibility in procurement and delivery while retaining the benefits of scale and collaboration across government.
It described these twin tracks as 'agile' and 'platform'. Both these elements now feature prominently in the Government's ICT strategy, which promises that Government will "apply agile methods to procurement and delivery to reduce the risk of project failure" and introduce a "common ICT platform".
While implementing these changes may prove to be extremely challenging, a pilot project sponsored by the Home Office and the Met Police, led by IndigoBlue, demonstrated first hand the benefits of incremental delivery using an Agile approach while still maintaining the control craved by IT management within Government.

Governance of Enterprise-Scale Agile Projects
19 OCT 2011 | Posted in Agile Business Conference 2011, agile delivery, agile governance, agile programme management, enterprise agile | Author John WrightThe key issue in scaling Agile is ensuring that the correct governance principles are adopted and scaled as the use of Agile evolves. Many organisations use Agile methods successfully on smaller projects, but these start to fail when project size increases or when multiple projects and programmes exist.
This session at the recent Agile Business Conference discussed IndigoBlue’s tried and tested approach to Agile governance: ADAPT and CONTROL. My presentation slides are now available below.
