PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
We offer a wide range of professional services. What makes us different? We don't seek to charge you by the hour. We are looking to get paid for results. We are willing to share the risk of change with you, not rob you blind with high hourly rates. We want to solve your problem so well you won't need us. Don't see what you need here? We love a good problem to solve and are always available for a free consultation.
Methodology Health Check
Admit it. You are knee deep in surviving day to day and maintaining the status quo. When was the last time you evaluated and updated your SDLC or Project Management methodology to match what people are actually doing? When was the last time you reviewed your lessons learned to determine what changes need to be made? Your methodology is there for a reason and its yours. Every business has unique issues. We don't force a specific methodology on you. Our fixed price approach means you don't get a 400 page report of changes needed that you paid for by the hour.
Our Methodology Health Check includes
- Reviewing your current documented methodology
- Interviewing stakeholders who actually use (or don't use as the case may be) your methodology
- Reviewing lessons learned collected (or collecting them for you)
- Providing you a summary report of recommended changes to streamline your methodology
- (Optional) Applying the changes to your methodology
- (Optional) Migrating your methodology to a dynamic, interactive format
- (Optional) A training package on the changes to the methodology
Methodology Authoring
Ready to take the step of combining what everyone is doing into a published methodology? Fear that it will wind up a convoluted mess that does more harm than good? We offer a professional outside opinion with a background in a variety of industries. We can assist you in meeting your goals without sending your teams running for the hills. We've seen what works, we've seen what doesn't. We can help you tailor a solution for your needs. Our fixed price approach means you don't get 400 pages of methodology written by the hour that no one wants to read much less follow. We specialize in baking in your business knowledge to the methodology to get new employees and consultants up and running quickly with minimal training.
Our Methodology Authoring includes
- Documenting what happens in the current environment
- Interviewing stakeholders who will use the methodology
