V současné době se pohybujeme ve velmi náročném a turbulentním ekonomickém prostředí, kdy se neustále zvyšují požadavky na efektivitu a kvalitu dodávek IT služeb s maximální orientací na potřebu rozvoje obchodních aktivit společnosti a získání náskoku oproti konkurenci. S ohledem na toto téma pořádala společnost Tieto odbornou konferenci Lean@IT, jež se zaměřila na efektivní trendy a řešení v oblasti propojení IT s byznysem.
Případová studie prezentovaná na konferenci 19.2.2013 v Ostravě a 12.3. v Praze.
We are a manufacturing companyIT business is not our core business but it's critical for itWe have sound experience with Lean@Manufacturing but no experience with Lean@ITBased on our previous (not so positive) experience we decided to try Agile way of working to develop our business critical system for JIT production plantsTieto coaches helped us to significantly shorten time to implement Agile way of working and to make it sustainableThe question was, how to get the product to production, so that it really provides value to business. Therefore we considered Lean@IT, invited key stakeholders and conducted a Kaizen workshop.Not only that we have now key stakeholders synchronized but we also have future value chain designed and a concrete implementation road-map for the first delivery to production.As next steps, we need to agree on how to work with future needs and requests of business (tens of production plants) and how to deliver new features with a reasonable "time-to-market". Other areas to be discussed in more details are release management, requirements management and testing.So we continue are journey of continuous improvement...
