An Internal Agile Working Group (AWG) Wanted to Understand the Impact of Their Improvement Efforts and Where They Need to Focus Next
A leading technology company, with mature and advanced product development practices, were focusing on assessing behaviors, embedding continuous improvement thinking and improving their enterprise product delivery model.
They tasked Comparative Agility with the goal of figuring out how to gauge the success of their efforts and how to improve organizational learning.
Pairing Comparative Agility's extensive collection of consumer data with the client's current progress and objectives, a coherent strategy with measured improvements over time (mid-term, quarterly view) were created.
Over time, this approach was adopted by others programs and tailored to meet their unique needs.
The new model has provided a view of strategic strengths and opportunities for a given program and its teams - in the context of their unique business environment - but also as a perspective vis-a-vis the rest of the organization.
Utilizing the Comparative Agility analysis, the client has created a comprehensive view of their company's level of performance - from the team to the enterprise level - and instantly gained insight into how the effort, time and resources are spent most effectively.
Concrete performance improvements include a reduction of time-to-market from 36 weeks to 6 weeks (end-to-end), increased employee engagement scores (15% YoY worldwide) and a significant improvement in product quality as measured by defects in production (down by 55% YoY overall across all product lines.)
