Why XoJom?

2011/10/13

We are Lean-Agile pragmatists, not Agile purists.

Managing uncertainty and change in complex projects and programs calls for balancing defined and empirical process control. Lean-Agile provides the framework to implement that balance. Hands-on experience with complex systems projects and programs taught us that effectiveness in the Real World requires to use of all tools available – flexible, traditional, lean AND agile. We teach and compare all approaches and inspire organizations to move towards agility in a balanced and common sense way.  It is smart to know agile and what it can do, as well what it can not.

 

We use Agile beyond Software/IT…way beyond!

Our expertise is centered around complex systems projects and programs. Optimizing the whole, we are using Lean and Agile in a project, program, and portfolio context. As a PMI R.E.P, we focus on balance and integration from a process perspective while helping our clients move to agility from an organizational perspective. Our models are based on agile methods such as Scrum and DSDM, augmenting the software-centric elements with sound project management practices aligned with lean and agile values. (For example: Release planning and potential shippable increments make sense for software development. However, this may not be the appropriate paradigm in non-software centric  dominions.  In very complex systems projects and programs, Rolling Wave planning and progressive elaboration towards milestones of economic value are more suitable practices. Our lean-agile models are based on these ideas (and used successfully at companies across the globe).

 

We don’t sell tools.

Your successful Lean-Agile adoption is our only objective.

 

We are business and project management oriented.

Agile focuses on teams and that is a good thing. While team training and coaching is a major part of all Lean-Agile rollouts we lead, we acknowledge that solid business needs more than happy employees. We help our clients scale agile across the value-stream to manage a wide variety of domains (development, services, marketing, sales, operations, deployment, systems integration, and others). We provide guidance on how to best scale agility to the program and portfolio level. Organizational agility is a goal of many our clients expanding agile beyond teams and projects.

 

We are effective.

We don’t believe that embedding ourselves into your organization and sending in the coaches and consulting troops is the answer to agility. Agility is all about effectiveness and simplicity. Our business model is founded on these principles. Since 2007, we’ve applied and continuously refined our rollout model to be cost efficient, extremely effective, and focused. It cuts interruption to your ongoing projects to a minimum. We do so at a fixed cost eliminating any services or interruption you simply don’t need. We’d be happy to provide a quote.

 

We have the track record you are looking for.

Since 2007, we have been guiding clients in Europe, Brazil, India, and all across the US in the successful adoption of agile using our refined approaches and models. Our clients develop machines, motors, turbines, smart-grid components, wireless devices, medical devices, controls, video and broadband systems, and telecommunication equipment. They manage complex systems development and/or systems integration projects and programs.  In short, we focus on successful Lean-Agile adoptions for clients managing very complex, non-software centric products or systems programs with extensive hardware development and integration components.

We are agile.

We are based in Atlanta,GA in close proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. This key hub supports our goal of helping clients across the globe when they need us.

Our Clients Are Talking

I had worked at IBM for 20 years using all types of hardware processes and procedures. It took me a while to map the concepts to what I had originally been trained in . But after reviewing the materials and listening to Karl’s lecture, it became apparent that AGILE would have been the best method for 90% of my projects.

Lean-Agile Executive Overview: Getting started

2011/10/01

Take 2 hours to get a concise and pragmatic executive overview on how to successfully implement Lean-Agile for the very work your company does: complex projects and programs that contain both engineering (example: Hardware-intensive development, Software, Systems, Integration) as well as non-development domains (examples: Services, Marketing, Sales, Operations, Deployment).
This overview gives executives the opportunity to examine for themselves Lean-Agile from a practical vantage point and clearly see how Lean-Agile helps companies elevate their organization’s performance in practice, and not just theory.
