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.
