Agile Project Management Transformation
for An Entertainment Company
Exadel worked with our customer’s Project Management Office to implement a culture of Agile, which had a profound effect throughout the organization.
Customer
Our customer is a leading American entertainment company that produces and streams original content across a variety of platforms.
Project
When the engagement began, our customer had already started implementing an Agile project management transformation but lacked the in-house expertise in its PMO to effectively implement Agile processes. Our client was using a Waterfall methodology and attempting to adopt Agile processes within the greater Waterfall framework.
The company was looking for an Agile project management transformation at the program level, which would have a positive impact on all its present and future projects.
Solution
Agile consultants applied our ten-step process of Agile project management transformation, along with other proprietary methods, which helped deepen team connections for a lasting impact.
Through the Agile project management transformation process, we:
- Worked with our customer’s teams to improve their tools
- Established team norms
- Provided visibility on deliverables for upper managers
- Created and nurtured a culture of communication
- Streamlined the intake process
Results
As a result of this Agile project management transformation, morale is now at an all-time high, and the teams are positioned to react faster to the organization’s ever-changing business needs.
Our customer moved from reactionary work processes to proactive work processes — delivering increased value to customers. The company is now engaged in quarterly planning to continuously align the business with its customers.
Highlights of the Agile project management transformation include:
- A 25% reduction in the PMO
- New Agile experience requirements for hiring
- New culture of Agile in the PMO
- Cross-functional and cross-collaborative working behaviors, rather than siloed ones
- A shift in leadership’s strategic and fiscal planning
Our customer is excited to be delivering two months out, while responding, absorbing, and integrating new requests and changes within 48 hours.
