IndigoBlue at the Agile Business Conference

15 OCT 2012 | Posted in Agile Business Conference 2012, agile governance, incremental delivery, uncertainty management | Author Rob Smith

This year's Agile Business Conference was the best yet. There was a great level of attendance with a good number of large enterprises attending. There were some great talks, from both Agile specialists and user companies.

The conference is a great platform for Agile and really demonstrates the increasing take up of Agile in businesses of all sizes in the UK.

We had two speakers - James Yoxall and Mike Robinson - and I thought it would be useful to bring together their talks and related material.

Agile with PRINCE2

10 OCT 2012 | Posted in agile governance, Agile with PRINCE2 | Author James Yoxall

This paper presents IndigoBlue’s approach to integrating Agile with PRINCE2®. It explains why the two approaches can be used together at a conceptual level, and follows with a discussion of the key differences and how they can be resolved. This paper assumes that the reader has a prior level of knowledge of the two approaches.

It is often supposed that Agile and PRINCE2 conflict directly with each other, and cannot be used effectively together. The basis of this view is that PRINCE2 is ‘process-heavy’, while Agile is ‘process-light’.

IndigoBlue Governance Framework

10 OCT 2012 | Posted in agile governance, agile governance framework, incremental delivery, project initiation, uncertainty management | Author Rob Smith

IndigoBlue’s governance framework was created in response to the lack of an adequate set of governance processes for Agile projects and programmes. The absence of good governance is particularly apparent on larger programmes or within organisations running a number of Agile projects.

Agile Governance From The Top Down

10 OCT 2012 | Posted in agile governance, scaling agile, uncertainty management | Author James Yoxall

Agile as a project approach enables value creation whilst also empowering sponsors and senior stakeholders to affect governance over the investment. However, this depends on effective mechanisms for translating the team view into a stakeholder view of progress, risk and opportunity. This paper identifies the challenges and solutions in achieving this translation.
