Here’s a high-level overview of how planning in agile works:; • Decide on a Vision: Begin with a clear vision statement that outlines what you’re trying to achieve. This vision should be understood and shared by everyone involved in the service.; • Make Objectives: Set specific objectives that you want to achieve. These should be measurable so you can track progress. It’s common to define 3 to 5 main objectives and for each, identify 3 to 4 measurable results using quantitative data.; • Create a Roadmap: Develop a roadmap that outlines the main features or steps needed to achieve your objectives. This roadmap should be revisited regularly to adjust priorities based on new learnings and changes in the environment. It’s typically planned 6 to 12 months in advance but can be updated as needed.

  Fighting climate change

  OUR SOCIAL VALUE COMMITMENT; We support and deliver across all identified areas of Social Value. We have provided below an example for Fighting Climate Change. ; Our Social Value typically has two components:; 1-Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of clients’ in house software development/support teams. ; 2-Training technical teams in ways of working that reduce GHG emissions.; Below is dependent on the size/scope/length of the engagement: ; ACTIONS WE WILL UNDERTAKE ; • We typically start with a one-day workshop to 1) Define what sustainability is in terms of software development/support. 2) Agree what can be measured, monitored and improved. 3) Produce a comprehensive Social Value Plan outlining our actions.; • We use Cognizant's Carbon Footprint Calculator to measure and report on the IT team’s baseline emissions, using energy as a proxy. This data drives action planning and progress tracking.; • If appropriate, our specialists conduct in-depth assessments of existing services/ways of working and identify areas where environmental impacts can be reduced. This process aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Standard and ISO/IEC 21030 standards for software measurement. We will assess ideas such as 1) cloud migration (eg optimised scalability). 2) Cloud native design (eg microservices and containers). 3) Green software design (eg code that minimises resource usage); • If appropriate, we host workshops to discuss findings and agree changes in ways-of-working.; SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES; We typically run sprints to test changes and measure improvements. We agree ways to integrate these techniques into business as usual.; EMBEDDING THE PRINCIPLES; We train client’s staff in the new ways of working by a blend of joint working, training sessions, and an on-line Sustainability Guide which will cover best practices for sustainable design, development, and operations. We periodically meet with the client to encourage continuous improvement through a blend of refresh training and challenge.
