Software Development

If your organisation has either tried or are looking to try Agile software development, have you:

  • Determined whether Agile development will work for your particular development project?
  • Considered the implications Agile will have on your organisation and started managing the risks?
  • Identified how you would implement Agile (in stages or all at once)?

LPL Software Consulting can help with coaching and managing your project to ensure it is successful.

Agile enables your organisation to more effectively deal with change within a project. Development begins as soon as possible, enabling the team to identify issues early and adjust the plan accordingly.

Agile software development significantly increases the likelihood of an on-schedule solution possibly at the cost of reduced scope. LPL Consulting can assist with selling this concept to management, which is an important aspect of introducing the methodology.


Software Implementation

If your organisation has purchased software and is now interested in taking the next steps in software implementation, have you:

  • Considered managing your enterprise software implementation in-house?
  • Chosen a vendor that requires some monitoring and project management?
  • Decided which software implementation methodology makes sense for your project/organisation?

LPL Software Consulting can help you to determine the best software implementation methodology to use for your project and assist in managing the project from start to completion.

There are many factors to take into account when determining which methodology is the right fit for your organisation which may include: the ability to introduce change, the level of trust of the software vendor, levels of approval required, autonomy of the team.

Agile development is typically used for basic software development but is being introduced more and more on implementation projects if it is the right fit for an organisation. With agile, build starts almost immediately with limited planning. The work is divided into iterations and the solution is demonstrated to the business users throughout.
