Within the UK civil service, there are inherent challenges when delivering agile digital project management techniques against fixed and pre-defined business planning processes and budgets. Having repeatedly burnt their fingers during the era of pre-defined, monolithic IT developments, practitioners have learned that in the digital world, the only sure way to ensure that a system meets user needs is to build it hand-in-hand with those who’ll be operating and accessing it.

  • Strategy behind a robust framework in an agile delivery environment
  •  Methodology for providing clients and suppliers with transparent and dependable budgets earlier
