Case Study: Rescuing an Enterprise Applications Project

Challenge​

The project was struggling under the weight of 32 uncoordinated work packages, unclear priorities, and inconsistent ways of working. Delivery momentum had stalled, and teams lacked a structured approach to manage progress effectively.

Approach​

We stepped in to stabilise and reset the project, focusing on both delivery execution and team enablement. Key steps included:

  • Project control: Regained oversight and structure across all 32 work packages.
  • Agile practices: Introduced kanban boards to visualise work, prioritise tasks, and improve flow.
  • Coaching & education: Coached and educated teams on new ways of working, ensuring they were equipped to sustain improvements.
  • Sustainable model: Designed and implemented a repeatable delivery model tailored to the project’s annual cycle.

Outcomes​

  • Full control restored across 32 work packages, bringing clarity and focus to delivery.
  • Improved collaboration and productivity through the adoption of kanban boards.
  • Upskilled teams with practical knowledge in agile delivery practices.
  • Sustainable implementation model now successfully adopted for use in this recurring yearly project.

Conclusion​

By regaining control, introducing agile methods, and coaching teams along the journey, the Maintain Enterprise Applications project was transformed into a repeatable, well-governed delivery process. The new implementation model continues to deliver value each year.
