Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: Mobilise use an Agile methodology to deliver development projects, ensuring a transparent and collaborative delivery based on user needs. A Discovery sprint will gather user and business requirements, identifying high level deliverables and mitigate future delivery risks. Working with stakeholders, Mobilise will understand our customers priorities, existing development skillsets and scope, nature and volume of integrations.; ; A detailed design will be established addressing security concerns, cost management, performance implications, operations management and service resiliency. Through our experience Mobilise can propose best practice design patterns and tooling that align to your organisations development and tooling strategies. Next Mobilise will assess operating models, technologies and competencies to refine deliverables and shape the engagement.; ; Our Risk Management approach ensures that all risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies are identified from the outset using RAID logs. At the end of every Agile sprint, RAID logs are reviewed transparently with the customer to identify and mitigate risks to ensure a successful delivery.; ; To ensure Mobilise deliver a sustainable solution that our customers can leverage and support, Mobilise plan continual training and upskilling sessions using our Knowledge Transfer Framework. Finally, a roadmap is created by analysing existing baselines against target operating models, identifying key milestones and dependencies.
• Planning service works with specific services: No

Training

• Training service provided: Yes
• How the training service works: As part of the Mobilise Knowledge Transfer Framework, training and support can be provided on an ongoing basis throughout delivery to upskill and enable internal resources. Our Knowledge Transfer Framework consists of three phases,; Assess: Skills Matrix, Gap Analysis, Training Personas, Service RASCI Models. Train: Stakeholder Workshops, Custom Training Material. Enable: Knowledge Transfer, Operational Support Documentation, Paired Programming, 'Train the Trainer'.; Mobilise can provide recommended vendor foundational training and build custom training material on top specific to the customers solution. Training usually takes place using recorded Microsoft Teams sessions to use as references in the future, however onsite training can be arranged also. Furthermore, technical operational support documentation is completed throughout delivery, quality assured by the customer to act as a series of references or work instructions to complete standard feature, update or support tasks.; The most successful training technique is paired programming which pairs internal resources with our certified experts to work through changes and incidents to provide hands on experience delivering change with Mobilise support. Finally, Mobilise train subject matter experts and senior internal resources so they are able to train the next internal resources, ensuring any delivered services are sustainable.
• Training is tied to specific services: No

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: When customers need to migrate existing services to the cloud, Mobilise can assist in the design, development, migration and support of the service and surrounding infrastructure. Our proven migration plans ensure alignment with cloud and data strategies; discovery and assessment, analysis and design of cloud model, and a phased implementation plan.; ; First, the existing service needs to be analysed to identify if the migration is a rehost (lift and shift), replatform (utilise cloud services) or a refactor (redesign underlying application and integrations). Working with stakeholders, Mobilise will identify the scope, key requirements and deliverables for a successful migration. This involves identifying all dependencies and integrations, understanding networking and security architectures, and ensuring existing live services remain highly available.; ; Using cloud native tooling and data migration methods, workloads will be migrated with zero downtime using automations to reduce operational overhead on customer resources. Where possible these solutions are built using Infrastructure as Code to ensure a repeatable, reliable process is established for creating multiple environments.
• Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services: No

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Using our Agile approach to delivery, Mobilise ensure quality assurance and performance testing are conducted throughout the delivery of the project.; ; Mobilise begin by understanding the application, its data, environments and processes to establish test plans that identify both what success look like and how performance is measured. Secondly, any metrics on how existing systems perform, insights from users and peak/load performance metrics are collected to establish a baseline. Key performance indicators are measured using the delta between these two baselines in conjunction with expected industry standard results.; ; A continual process of functional, performance, non-functional and security testing is undertaken to provide quality assurance against the features being developed. Performance tests are run against the end-to-end solution, testing integrations, dependencies and data interactions, with a wide range of users and roles. ; ; Our Agile delivery provides users with the ability to instantly provide feedback, whilst observational sessions allow developers to study user journeys. Moderated usability testing of developed services evaluate whether applications are efficient, effective, and satisfactory using test scenarios with debrief interviews.
