The process of Rapid Programme Recovery follows a structured approach from initial rapid mobilisation, identifying key impact areas, tactical fix deployments and strategic solution implementations.
A small team of RRU consultants are mobilised on site under the management of the RRU lead. The key focus of the team is to very quickly map the landscape, focusing primarily on application flows, data processing, technology stack and business processes.
The remit of our team is without restriction and its scope covers all areas directly or indirectly related to the project. As part of this mapping exercise impact areas (areas of maximum “bleed”) are identified and highlighted.
The team, working with programme resources splits into focus areas. Each member of the RRU team is a domain specialist and hence has the ability to lead domain-specific investigation effort.
Besides application and technology stack the team also review the business processes around delivery approach, defect management, requirements definition and analysis and release management.
A full Stay Well plan is developed, resourced and kicked-off before handing over to the programme. All deployments are to ensure that programme milestones are not impacted - Planning service works with specific services

Very often we have seen a number of large, complex, technology programmes fail either immediately post deployment into the production environment or more often the delivery has been delayed or run into difficulties due to process, design, resource or testing issues.
Once the key ailing areas are identified "Focus Areas", a number of tactical fixes that can stop the “bleeding”. These fixes are deployed under a common get well plan. While this is a managed effort – at this stage a number of fixes are “trial and error” and are aimed at achieving immediate results. Those that don’t work are regressed.
Stabilisation of the database and infrastructure as well as performance improvement are vital to improve confidence in the system. A series of co-ordinated improvement initiatives are implemented to improve the system performance. These will then be enhanced in future phases
