Technology supported requirement handling an estimation
Lindorff Group is a leading outsourced receivables management company in Europe, and one of the leading on a global basis. For the past three–four years, they have increasingly adopted agile practices, especially in a large scale project converting and improving an old system written in Powerhouse to new .Net–technology.
The results from adopting agile practices have been mostly positive, however, there were challenging issues related to requirement handling and estimation that needed attention. In 2008, Lindorff joined a project with Symphonical funded by Innovation Norway. The purpose of the project was to develop software for requirements handling, estimation and knowledge management for the Symphonical platform. Symphonical is a flexible web–based collaboration platform, where users can brainstorm, plan, organize and coordinate any process.
This talk presents results from a case study detailing the challenges faced by Lindorff as they simultaneously adopted agile practices and introduced a new system for requirement handling and estimation. According to the respondents of the case study, Lindorff appears to have improved on two of the main points of concern presented in the 2007 study: requirement handling and estimation. Many users report that the introduction of agile methods and the platform Symphonical has improved the quality of important work processes. Furthermore, they report that the introduction of Symphonical has provided a framework for structured discussions regarding individual requirements, which helps maintaining the focus of IT projects. Furthermore, the flexible sharing regime where one can easily share information to external participants improves the effectiveness and efficiency of collaboration with all project contributors.
