We also provide you with resources and strategies to solve complex problems, scale agile methods in your organization, and foster an agile culture.

With us, you will acquire the tools, knowledge and confidence to successfully manage each of your Business Intelligence projects in an agile way. Dive into the world of agility with us and shape the future of your business intelligence projects together.

Why We Live Agile Project Management

Agility can be the decisive factor that sets your company apart from the competition. Agile project management is more than just a method, it is a philosophy that makes your company fit for the future and supports you on your way to becoming a data-driven company.

Benefits

Increased efficiency

With agile methods, you achieve your project goal reliably and efficiently. Short feedback and development cycles avoid time-consuming detours and guarantee optimal project success.

Full transparency

You design the development process together with us. You have insight into the project progress at any time and prioritize your requirements with our support.

Fast results

Parts of your solution can be integrated at an early stage thanks to the agile way of working. Prototyping makes successes and progress quickly visible and motivates all stakeholders.

Act flexibly

Short development cycle results can be evaluated promptly. Which means that current findings can be integrated and changes can be planned at short notice.

Knowledge build-up

We have a wide range of best practices and standards that we apply in the project. We accompany you holistically and in long-term transformation.

Quality optimization

A close and regular exchange about your requirements and the definition of acceptance criteria leads to high-quality results.

Openness to change

Agile working promotes proactivity in dealing with change. Instead of relying on fixed plans, continuous adjustments and improvements become the norm.

Focus on relevant content

Enables focus on the elements with the greatest benefit. The iterative way of working allows resources to be directed to the relevant content according to the lean principle.

Collaboration between IT and business

Product developments are based on your visions and goals. Through constant dialogue and exchange, solutions are developed and implemented together.

Project Phases

A project passes through six phases at our company. These are partially interlinked and therefore cannot be strictly separated from each other. Depending on the project scope, complexity and your individual requirements, the phases can vary and be adapted.

First Meeting

Every success begins with the first step. This first meeting is the starting point where you share your specific challenges, wishes and suggestions with us and we present our innovative ways of working and approaches. In dialogue, we discuss the framework conditions of your project and together identify all relevant information that is important for successful implementation. In close cooperation with you, we develop a customised, strategic objective and draft initial ideas for our future collaboration.

Analysis and Project Conception

We analyze your individual situation through targeted workshops or Proof of Concepts (PoCs). In doing so, we identify your specific business and technical requirements along with demonstrating impulses and initial approaches to solutions. Our highly qualified team of project managers, analysts and architects work closely together during this phase. We carefully evaluate feasibility, taking into account timing, available technologies and infrastructure, and your preferred way of working. Our goal is to create a clear basis for decision-making: Is the project feasible or not?

Project Initialization

Project initialization lays the foundation for the success of our IT project. Not only do we focus on the project scope, but we also make sure that all stakeholders know the work processes and understand their roles and responsibilities. Together we develop the appropriate project setup during initialization and define suitable methods and tools for documentation. As a basis for this, we use our areto agile framework and project standards based on years of project experience. Whether you choose remote collaboration or prefer to work on-site at your location, we tailor our approach to your needs. For particularly complex projects, we offer the option of pilot projects to ensure an efficient approach.

Project Start & Kickoff

At the kickoff, we bring the entire project team together to get everyone on board once again and create a mutual understanding of the project and the collaboration. During this meeting, we ensure that all stakeholders are actively involved in the project. Through this interaction, we strengthen the common goals. Due to our substantial preparation in the previous phases, we can immediately start with the substantive project work. This eliminates unnecessary waiting time and allows us to create value immediately.

Project Execution

During project execution, the project and product goals are put into practice. Our agile framework and the project set-up developed together with you serve as the basis for the effective project process. We bring all agile methods, necessary software solutions and collaboration tools, e.g. Confluence and Jira, and take care of the seamless workflow. This way, we always keep track of resources and progress and ensure transparent communication with you. Continuous documentation at defined levels ensures complete transparency for all stakeholders.

Project Closure

For the project closure, we offer different variants to finally reflect on the project and the results achieved. These include, for example, a detailed product review, a reflective retrospective with the participants on defined topics, a final presentation or even a management summary. We make all results and documentation available to you, thus ensuring that you gain a comprehensive insight into the course of the project and its success. We celebrate the completion of the project together – because your success is our success.

Agile Values

The Scrum framework has proven itself as a globally successful agile process model in the implementation of projects, especially in software development. Therefore, we live Scrum and have internalized the associated values. We can also confirm from our extensive project experience that the implementation of projects according to Scrum has led to a significant increase in efficiency and effectiveness in the project and has optimized the cooperation in the team and communication with the customer.

From our experience in project work so far, it has become clear that the Scrum values need to be supplemented by additional agile values. Therefore, we at areto have included three additional values in our framework, which we consider essential and which will further advance your projects.

Our framework includes easy-to-implement rules based on the following values:

COMMITMENT

Individuals make a personal commitment to achieve the goals of the Scrum team.

FOCUS

Everyone is focused on the work of the sprint and the goals of the Scrum team.

OPENNESS

The Scrum team and its stakeholders agree to be open about all of the work and the challenges in getting it done.

RESPECT

Scrum team members respect each other as capable, independent people.

COURAGE

Scrum team members have the courage to do the right thing and work on difficult problems.

COMMUNICATION

Scrum team members communicate daily and directly with each other to find the best solution together.

FEEDBACK

Results are communicated openly and early, and feedback is actively solicited and incorporated.

SIMPLICITY

Within the Scrum team, the simplest solution is chosen to generate the most value for the customer.
