Many organizations are racing to become Agile. Research indicates that Agile transformation can have a powerful impact a company’s bottom line. The benefits are clear – companies are experiencing better collaboration, heightened productivity, and improved decision making. However, Agile transformation does not happen overnight. It takes planning, coordination, collaboration, training, and know how – at all levels of the business.
That’s why we’re excited to share Planview’s latest partnership with Cprime – a leader in Agile training and coaching. Together with Cprime we’ve created a new Agile Program Management solution package that helps customers achieve greater Agile and digital transformation success.
The solution package is bundled to include the software, support, education, implementation services, as well as all the Agile coaching needed to enable Agile Program Management.
So why does this matter?
If you’re a member of your organization’s Agile CoE or a leader in product, development, or engineering you’re likely in the throes of coordinating work across programs, products, or release trains – you live and breathe the challenges and complexity of scaling Agile every day.
Whether you:
- Leverage Agile practices and are not getting the expected benefits or value
- Need to launch an Agile Release Train(s) but need direction and expertise on how to get started
- Need to create or improve an upcoming PI/Quarterly planning event and want recommendations and best practices around process and technology
- Manage multiple Agile teams and Agile release trains but lack the visibility needed to plan and deliver value and need to pivot
- Need to create a shorter “time to value” window to be valuable and critical to organizational success and not sure where to begin
The Planview and Cprime Agile Program Management bundle supports these types of initiatives and more. It’s the perfect mix of technology and coaching to help you deliver value and achieve your Agile transformation goals.
