Abc’s Planning services can be tailored to suit the specific circumstances of each client.
Our planning adheres to the Agile methodology and aligns with Government Digital Service (GDS) standards. It is structured around the Discovery, Alpha, and Beta phases, fostering an iterative, user-focused approach.
At the outset of an engagement, we will typically conduct a 'Discovery’. This is intended to facilitate knowledge sharing to establish a shared understanding of project vision and objectives. Outputs will depend upon the project objectives, and may include a backlog of user stories, as-is and desired business processes, technical constraints, user journeys, release roadmaps and plans, etc.
For select projects in more traditional settings, we can offer a blend of Agile with aspects of traditional planning. This flexibility allows us to accommodate varying project requirements effectively, particularly complex or high-risk scenarios.
Whichever the scenario, we prioritize collaboration and continuous improvement, enabling us to successfully plan, manage and deliver projects of any size, scope or maturity. - Planning service works with specific services
