A 70-year-old global investment firm with over 12,000 employees in 34 countries, and $1.4 trillion in assets under management had tried and failed multiple times to implement Scrum. They reached out to Disciplined Agile to deliver value to the business faster, create a tighter connection between business demands and technology, and increase their ability to pivot swiftly in response to changing conditions.

Their ask: “How do we get to a place where we’re delivering value to the business faster?”

Challenge

Challenge

The company’s sales and marketing group needed to be able to move more quickly: technology was inhibiting the team’s ability to meet with clients and solve problems rapidly and responsively. Large-scale monolithic initiatives failed to address this problem and didn’t offer the flexibility required.

Solution

Solution

Six months after adopting DA, improvements included a dramatic reduction in time to market compared to WaterScrumFall projects. Time to market decreased and customer satisfaction increased with survey scores moved from 3.6 to 4.5 (on a scale of 1 to 5).

A global IT services company with 200,000 employees and annual revenue of $10.3 billion has approximately 7,500 IT projects running at any time ranging from cutting-edge technology development to legacy app maintenance to engineering consulting services.

The company's hundreds of clients are at different points of maturity as agile organizations, each having different ways of working. No single methodology can prepare the IT service company’s 15,000-20,000 Scrum masters and Agile coaches for widely varying contexts they will encounter.

Challenge

Challenge

Coaches do not have the tools to provide clients with guidance that can prevent expensive mistakes. For example, a recent client had chosen Scrum but realized after 4-5 months that Kanban made more sense. Clients are losing confidence.

Solution

Solution

With DA, teams were empowered to make informed choices, preventing costly mistakes such as choosing a WoW poorly suited for the team and bringing about time savings, improved team morale and increased client confidence.

The Insurance Company (government-owned) provides auto insurance to residents of British Columbia. After struggling to blend Agile and Waterfall approaches in response to a large-scale transformation initiative, the company sought out Disciplined Agile to provide a solution that combined flexibility in project delivery with an approach that could scale across a large government organization.

The company was looking at an effective way to bridge the gap between Agile and Waterfall.

Challenge

Challenge

As a government-run corporation subject to annual planning cycles and other bureaucratic processes, the company needed a pragmatic, enterprise solution that incorporated agile where possible while accommodating the broader challenges inherent in the organization.

Solution

Solution

After a combination of training and coaching, the IT department successfully delivered 36 transformation projects on time and on budget. The teams increased the cadence of releases by sevenfold in the first two years, from 3 or 4 releases per year to 42 in two years.
