The Solentive Practical Agile Methodology – SOLPAM; combines Design Thinking, LEAN and Agile Methodologies and adapts them to a practical commercial framework to ensure that we set your project up for success by tackling the right problem and starting with “why.”
Our inception process, known as a Project Vision allows us to truly understand your business, and ensure we have identified the right problem to solve in order to get real business results. This process allows us to gain insights, set stakeholder expectations and reduce risk.
As part of the Project Vision we will:
Research
Understand your current business and identify the right problem via customer research and interviews, stakeholder observations and workshops
Definition
Help you ensure your business problem is well defined and documented into user stories and requirements
Ideation
Ideate with your team to identify opportunities for innovation and differentiation
Prototype & Test
Create wireframes, prototypes and Visualise User Experience Design to iterate and test with your clients potential solutions. This ensures solutions are intuitive, functional, meet expectations and are aligned to your visual design and branding. This process helps to reduce risk as it brings the feedback cycle forward and reduces rework as well as helps to communicate ideas to your team early, helping you to manage change
Solution Definition
Provide a unique solution design and architecture using a combination of tools, products and custom software development that meets your business needs
Roadmap
