When does this make sense?
Typical triggers where our consulting delivers the greatest leverage:
- →Requirements change frequently over the course of the project – clarification effort explodes
- →Requirements and functional specifications are incomplete, contradictory or outdated
- →Requirements live in parallel across Word, Excel, JIRA and Confluence – no consistent tooling
- →Business and IT talk past each other, sign-offs are delayed
- →Change requests explode during the implementation phase
