Support for your Improvement Project

You would like to start an improvement and change project effectively and efficiently? You want confidence about the approach of the project? You need technical expertise in change management, in CMMI, ITIL or SPICE – and in possible process solutions? We work closely with you in your improvement project and help ensure its success, particularly in its initial months.

The early steps of an improvement project are especially critical. Typical mistakes made in these early stages often result in increased cost and effort and in lower acceptance and quality . Some examples of common mistakes are: higher and middle management are not actively responsible for the change; too many process definitions and these are also too heavyhanded and formal; critical lack of involvement of practitioners and other key stakeholders when creating the solutions that are intended to improve the way of work.

Why are these mistakes made? Improvement projects with CMMI, ITIL, SPICE or Automotive SPICE are new for many organizations and often there are only a few employees who have the requisite experience in change management. If the content of a project is new, time must be included in the project plans for studying and learning and for experience to be gained. Not only does this cost time, but it alsoincreases the risk of failure.

This learning curve can be reduced considerably by including team members that are experienced in change management and CMMI/SPICE. The experience and specialized knowledge that they bring to the team accelerates the project's progress. Moreover, the experienced team members give the team confidence in their approach and they recognize typical mistakes at an early stage. Last but but not least, they support the team with communication and persuasive discussions within your organization.
Our project managers set up the project together with you and lead it over the first months until first improvement steps have been deployed successfully. We bring our experience, assets and knowledge of different solutions for the development of solutions. When creating your process defintions you can profit from our tools and from our knowledge of useful and maintainable process definitions.

We also establish and support a quality assurance in the organization, which is a key element in process improvement. In addition, we can support the improvement within the individual projects through the provision of CMMI-experienced project managers or quality assurance people.

Our support is focused on the early phases of a project; in the long run the organization must be able run the improvement project itself.
