Agile Method Setup
Agile Method setup is a service that consists of implementing the Agile method into a new or existing team. Agile process in software development, particularly SaaS, is an industry standard that many companies have already adopted; according to the 14th annual State of Agile report, 95% of respondents report their organizations practice agile development methods.
Agile Method fosters flexibility, iterative development, and a focus on collaboration and customer feedback. Implementing these methods can be challenging without an understanding of agile practices or experienced leadership to guide the team. Still, if done successfully, it can lead to a 60% improvement in time to market, better timeline management, decreased bugs, lower churn, higher revenue, and happier customers.
This approach helps teams respond to changes quickly and efficiently, ensuring that the final product better meets customer needs. It also enhances team communication and collaboration, making project management more effective and reducing Go-to-Market time.
What is the Agile Method?
To quote one of the top Agile Method project management system companies in the world, “The Agile methodology is a project management approach that involves breaking the project into phases and emphasizes continuous collaboration and improvement. Teams follow a cycle of planning, executing, and evaluating.” The team that originally created the Agile Method created a simple set of four principles that guide the system. They are:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
How JHMG Approaches Implementing Agile Method Into B2B SaaS Organizations
Our aim is to ensure your team is unified and thoroughly versed in agile methodologies and that your organization is benefiting from accelerated growth and happier customers.
We begin by assessing the current state of your team and processes and identifying Agile champions within your organization. Once champions are trained and we have worked with them to assess the situation within teams, we like to show teams the differences between working on Agile versus a waterfall system.
After that, we begin a set of training courses for all team members involved and have a consultant oversee scrum meetings to ensure they are being done properly. At each step for the first quarter, our software and SaaS consultants will be in meetings on a regular basis to ensure everything is going to plan.
Almost all the time, developers, designers, and product owners are very excited to move to this system. Even when they aren’t initially onboard, after they see the massive impact this method has on the team, product, and customers, they almost always are enthusiastic about fully moving to Agile.
Following the initial setup, we provide ongoing support and oversight, making adjustments as necessary to ensure the agile method is executed effectively within your team. This includes delivering detailed reports on our implementation efforts, the current state of your team’s agile practices, and projections for future performance improvements.
