Editor's Notes
- #4 Gartner predicts that by 2020, 75 percent of application purchases supporting digital business will be "build," not "buy." Gartner's research shows that many organizations already favor a new kind of "build" that does not include out-of-the-box solutions, but instead is a combination of application components that are differentiated, innovative and not standard software or software with professional services (for customization and integration requirements), or solutions that are increasingly sourced from startups, disrupters or specialized local providers. Build, not buy
- #5 Created in 2017 with Pivotal, Accenture Pivotal Business Group is a global strategic partnership combining resources, practices and scale with a combined go-to-market strategy and offerings. Partnering with Pivotal and now with VMware, the partnership was created to accelerate Development and Delivery of Cloud Native Development and Containers.

Accenture has: 200+ Cloud Foundry Certified Developers 1000+ Cloud Foundry practitioners globally TAS (formerly PCF) skill sets still relevant even with the change in name CANADA SPECIFIC 90 people have completed 103 trainings ~30 certifications in Canada (between CFCD and PAL) XP PCF Delivery available from Accenture labs capability at Columbus Innovation Hub and now Dallas and Atlanta Accenture was awarded Pivotal Partner of the year in 2019
- #6 Matt Russell will discuss the Pivotal methodology in an earlier section. Accenture Worked with Pivotal to create offerings; some (like Labs and AppTX) are extensions of Pivotal’s offerings while others (Accelerated Delivery) are unique to Accenture. Our Accenture associates are trained Labs and AppTX engagements in the same way that Pivotal would. Labs: Enabling clients 1:1 to build software via XP, Lean Product Management, and User Centered Design AppTX Application Transformation Planning: Our teams will create a program prioritization, and application roadmap Application Transformation Execution: Our teams will execute a tracer bullet, and enable the scaling of delivery efforts Accelerated Delivery (XP at Scale): Accelerating the delivery of working software that drives business and user value via XP, Lean Product Management, and User Centered Design THIS IS NOT A PIVOTAL OFFERING, THIS OFFERING IS UNIQUE TO ACCENTURE Enablement focused on learning modern practices like: Agile Academics Cloud Native Development DevOps Extreme Programming Lean Product Development Test Automation User Centered Design
- #7 An example of extreme team agility: how we quickly adjusted and mobilized remote delivery team. In the wake of Covid-19, the team was asked to support delivery by working remote. Remote doesn’t sound challenging, but Remote Pair Programming was a new experience for all of us. We quickly came up with a game plan, and worked closely with our client to provide all the necessary infrastructure, (VPN, CPU’s) and computing equipments (e.g. additional keyboards, monitors) to support pair programming. It was a almost seamless transition and team was up within a day (including setting up system with required software) and started delivering from day 2. Specific Technologies used: Virtual pair programming - To avoid the impact on pair programming model, we identified Microsoft Team Virtual Pairing rooms and later transition to Cisco meeting for each pairs so that we can still match pair model. We leverage video conferencing to run standup meetings. Online collaboration/whiteboarding tools – Missing whiteboards could have been a challenge with team size of 40+ (including Devs, PA’s, PO’s and TL’s), but thanks to online collaboration tools like Miro. We started heavily using Miro for our meetings and all attendees started contributing on miro. We realized it was more effective than physical meetings and many of them brought in new ideas. Virtual Coffee Breaks & Online Game – To compensate for the lack of physical / social interactions we used to enjoy in a physical office environment and to keep the team motivated, we started having virtual coffee breaks every week and biweekly online games where strictly we discuss something apart from work. These has helped team to stay motivated. Throughput unaffected.
