Fundamentally, successful project delivery is about the interactions of people, and not about structure and process. Processes are put in place to manage personal interactions and provide a mechanism for compliance reporting (compliance to project goals, deliverables, and timelines). Management is often seen as an overhead activity, as opposed to an integrated set of activities focused on delivering value and empowering project teams. In order to deliver maximum value in any undertaking, TerraLogik puts in place value-oriented processes that achieve measurable results through the application of the Agile Practices.
Project Delivery/Deliver Customer Value
In defining customer value, it is critical to identify who the customer is. The customer, in short, is the group or users for whom the finished project generates business value. In order to deliver real value, it is important to create a close customer-developer partnership, with responsibilities and accountabilities on both sides.
Keeping the customer and all stakeholders informed as to the project vision, the activities, the status of the project, is critical to success. The critical factor in delivering customer value is in identifying and managing the expectations of what the end Project will be and the state and quality of the end deliverables, based upon the often intangible expectations upon which actual results will be measured.
