e2x helps its clients achieve better, faster, smarter software delivery. Our approach to delivering software combines the best of agile project management and development practices with more traditional project and programme management frameworks such as Prince II to achieve these outcomes on projects that fall outside the agile 'comfort zone' of a short project, small team and a single customer.
Better software delivery
Our approach introduces a process where the software delivery is driven by business priority and the mitigation of technical risk. Even in volatile environments where requirements, personnel and business goals change rapidly, our approach ensures that what is delivered is valuable to the business. Our approach also engenders an approach to quality that ensures delivery of value in the short term does not compromise continued delivery of value in the long term.
Faster software delivery
Too many delivery approaches frustrate users because they must wait until the software is 'done' before they are able to get benefit from it. Our approach puts an early release of the system in the hands of the users and then evolves the software with frequent releases, each of which provide valuable functionality to those users.
Smarter software delivery
Too many delivery approaches are very effective at delivering incidental artefacts without being very good at delivering working, valuable software. Our approach ensures that the whole team (customers, managers, users, developers, testers and so on) all focus on what is important whether that's 'just' working software, handover procedures to a maintenance team, sufficient documentation for external audit, or whatever. Our approach also makes cost and capacity very visible so that they can be balanced by senior managers. Cost effectiveness is achieved by spending only what is necessary to deliver, not by spending less and failing to deliver.
