Lean-Agile transformation has been difficult for most team and organizations. Deloitte’s Agile Landscape Map almost a decade back laid out over 100+ practices from multiple bodies of knowledge. It hasn’t become any simpler in the last decade!
Nimble’s “Pragmatic Agile” capabilities help teams adopt Lean-Agile in their right spirit. It is based on years of our own transformation journey and the experience of our customers who have been part of this journey.
Different bodies of knowledge that have contributed to the lean agile community are often nightmare for teams to follow and implement. Often organizations are moving from a classical execution model and it is not practical and convincing enough to drop everything on a given day and transition to something new.
NImble’s pragmatic agile give different approaches on how to incrementally adopt many of these agile practices, minimizing the risk of failures in your adoption process.
Most teams end up branding their current requirements as user stories. Unfortunately, without small, independent, testable stories, Agile execution is a non-starter.
Nimble’s story mapping is a practical way to help team’s break large scope into User Stories – user stories that follow the principles of INVEST. It helps visualize the entire scope and then, do the Release/Sprint planning simultaneously.
For teams and organizations that find it difficult to plan with NoEstimates, Nimble’s “Pragmatic Agile” allows you to do estimation following the Relative Sizing approach. Relative sizing is fast and significantly more accurate. Relative sizing compares any given work item against a set of already completed work items and derive the estimate.
Standups are one of the most common Lean-Agile practices followed by every team. Yet, they are notoriously long and miss their core objective in many teams.
Nimble’s standup wizard helps you keep a time check on the entire standup process, making it focussed and effective. It automatically brings to focus the workitem of any specific individual, finishing with an aggregate view of the entire board and its Burndown chart.
One of the big challenges that Lean-Agile teams face is answering the question – When will it get done? Alternatively, if the team is running behind, what options are available to correct the situation? Agile literature talks about being flexible with scope. However, even with a negotiated scope, business needs to hear the same above 2 questions!
Nimble’s “Pragmatic Agile” is designed to directly answer these questions:
Continuous improvement is an integral part of Lean-Agile execution. Yet, Retrospectives are often ineffectively time managed and/or ineffective in closing the Action Items.
Nimble’s “Pragmatic Agile” facilitates anonymous feedback to help collect the real ground level situation. In addition, Nimble’s “5Why” approach to root cause analysis helps the team to get a real picture of what is happening at the ground level and identify action items. Coupled with an Action Item tracker, Nimble helps the team focus on closure of the Action Items to make the Retrospective count.
Some Lean-Agile teams struggle to refine their backlog from ideation to refined stories in a planned timely fashion. Experience shows that Cycle Time in phase is often 5-10X higher than the cycle time for execution. Hence, the overall throughput of the system is governed
Nimble’s Backlog Refinement helps put a structured approach to ensure a timely conversion of ideas into executable stories that can then be taken to execution teams for converting to the final outcome.
Alignment of Strategy to execution has been a big issue for all teams and organizations. It is hard for people to understand how the work that they are doing impacts the final business outcomes.
Nimble’s multi-layered OKR capability with linkage to Themes and EPICs builds the connection between Strategy and Execution. It gives visibility to Key Results (KRs) and shows the % progress realization against those KRs to each individual in the team.
“Nimble has improved our project estimation by 80% and our on-time completion rate has gone up by 60%!”
