We help organizations to improve their quality, efficiency, flexibility and time to market by establishing agile management methods and setting up frameworks to scale these methods across locations, disciplines and entire organizations. Especially in complex environments, CBC focuses on generating and implementing an agile mindset mainly based on the following frameworks and methods:
As a way to implement an agile mindset, CBC’s solution includes the conception, training, and implementation of holistic Kanban approaches for entire engineering communities, transforming engineering from a push into a pull system.
Within Kanban, the overall workflow is managed in such a way that simultaneous work in progress is limited. This provides a better workload balance and yields a permanent high level of productivity. Furthermore, Kanban comes with a high degree of visualization, so that project progress and bottlenecks can be identified quickly.
Through implementing Scrum as an agile and iterative approach, CBC helps organizations to react dynamically to short-term changes. With Scrum, we enable clients to develop complex products within an iterative framework. This includes the set-up of multiple scrum teams in different countries. Each team organizes its own activities and works independently, which enables quick and target-oriented decisions. With our certified Scrum Masters, we support and coach the client’s teams to ensure a successful and sustainable implementation.
- Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®)
To sustainably implement the agile mindset in an organization and to leverage the benefits of the agile development methods, CBC supports organizations with the demand-tailored implementation of the Scale Agile Framework (SAFe®). With our certified SAFe® Program Consultants (SPC) we set up and support Agile Release Trains on program levels together with our customers, in order to coordinate and manage the dependencies between multiple Scrum teams efficiently.
- Continuous Integration (CI)
CBC helps organizations to become agile in all key areas, including Continuous Integration (CI) of software. This approach enables clients to regularly integrate and test even small code changes in their applications. Features can be verified while under development and modification requests can be implemented more easily. This way, clients can react quickly to new automation requirements and avoid the need for “big bang” software integration.
CBC supports teams in moving towards incremental delivery cycles and fast feedback in order to improve the software quality. We evaluate the existing software integration strategy, identify issues and derive solutions to achieve the target maturity level. Even minor improvements can bring a noticeable impact to the teams.
