How are we different?

  • Pull ensures project work is driven by customer demand.
  • Business case clarifies costs and benefits under uncertainty. Deploys parametric estimation to validate bottom up commitments. Makes management decisions visible.
  • Vendor management mindfully manages risk transfer.
  • Visual management employs tools such as sprint burn down charts to ensure progress, risks, and issues are effectively communicated to stakeholders.
  • Last planner ensures commitments can be made from the bottom up with adequate knowledge. The role of management is to remove barriers.
