Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: Often, we implement AWS cloud infrastructure as part of a larger customer project to deploy a specific application. We can integrate with your existing agile processes and tools so that our work is planned alongside everything else. For example, we can write agile user stories and participate in planning and refinement. This collaborative "DevOps" approach reduces bottlenecks and blockers and ensures all dependencies are understood and considered. If we are in an independent workstream, we still create agile user stories and give our customers full visibility of the roadmap and progress along the way. We also produce architecture diagrams and support documentation as required.
