Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: We use an Agile methodology starting with a Discovery phase followed by an Implementation phase encompassing a number of sprints. The purpose of a Discovery phase is to surface as many unknowns as possible in a short space of time, allowing us to bring down the risk of what comes next. As such it requires significant time from client resources across operational support, user groups, technical and architectural, security and finance. The resources are also across multiple levels of seniority within the business up to and including C-level. We typically agree with the sponsor which resources from the client are required and ensure that those individuals have time reserved in their diaries to engage with the Integrella team. We agree this prior to the Integrella team landing on site. In addition, we define a week by week plan of information gathering activities, with regular formal and informal playback of key findings, conclusions and direction of travel. Lastly the planning element formalises the deliverables that will form the output.
