Enterprise Lean, Agile PMO & Continuous Transformation
Our GearFlow transformation framework is a program driven framework designed to help CIO's, PMO's & Heads of R&D pragmatically implement program level change to enable high velocity Lean and Agile development. The result is the design and implementation of a Lean end-to-end execution model that fully integrates the flow of work from Ideation to Release Management & Operations.
Transforming from a project driven culture to a product line operating model will drive radical improvements to end-to-end cycle time, throughput velocity, software/product quality and reductions to Work in Process (WIP). Your newly synchronized teams will encourage cross functional collaboration and insure that the cadence and speed of core Agile development teams will be well synchronized with the entire organization.
Discover Phase - Confirm Vision, Objectives & Baseline
The Gear Flow Discovery Phase involves the use of Lean value stream mapping, traditional gap analysis and facilitated stakeholder workshops to rapidly identity those parts of your current Software and Product Development Lifecycle that are candidates for Lean & Agile transformation.
Wave Phase - Continuous Planning & Rollout
Once Discovery has confirmed your strategic objectives, operational improvement targets, and established a baseline scorecard, a series of rolling wave improvements will be planned & initiated. Similar to Agile Team Sprints that take place over very short intervals of 2-4 weeks, Rolling Waves will involve implementation of strategic Lean & Agile collaboration process and governance improvements that can be successfully rolled out in increments of just 8-12 weeks.
Track & Tune - Monitor & Optimize
Once your Wave phase starts to approach a sustainable Lean & Agile operating cadence it is critical that we identify and build a cross functional team responsible for monitoring and continuously innovating your transformed software and product lifecycle. Gear Stream will train key staff on your team to provide continuous monitoring and tune-up support. Additionally, Gear Stream offers dedicated monitoring and tune-up services to insure that your lifecycle remains at maximum flow.
