Agile implementation in healthcare

The situation at the client

Projects within our organisation were mainly seen as long-term initiatives that rarely produced a result in the end''. The IT Manager begins, therefore the choice was made to use Agile to tackle these projects/open issues, with visible deliverables after each sprint. The organization engaged MOJEO for an Agile implementation.At the time there was a great need to work in short phases instead of according to the waterfall principle. We wanted to implement software in an effective and above all flexible way.

“Projects within our organisation were mainly seen as long-term initiatives that were ultimately rarely fruitful.”

The solution from MOJEO

“During this presentation it was concretely shown what the Agile Manifesto could mean for our organisation;for instance the increased effectiveness, optimal Return on Investment, and gaining insight into the progress of the project.”

In addition, the kick-off session also paid attention to the Agile/Scrum Process Model.“MOJEO explained briefly and to the point which changes needed to be implemented to work in accordance with an Agile/Scrum process. And which roles this creates.”

The role of the Product Owner within the complete Agile/Scrum process was the important link in this. “We really appreciated that MOJEO put itself in the shoes of our organisation so concretely. They had already drafted the set business criteria minimally required from the product owner for instance. Everything had been worked out in great detail. The step-by-step plan provided real clarity.”

product owners we appointed were clearly informed about the scrum methodology and the daily tasks this involves.”The ongoing projects were recreated in sprints in accordance with the Agile/Scrum methodology in a later meeting with every product owner. “MOJEO planned a meeting with the project owner to start with the Agile/Scrum methodology. This was actually the final part of the entire implementation phase.”

“MOJEO explained briefly and to the point which changes needed to be implemented to work in accordance with the Agile/Scrum process. And which roles are created because of it.”

The added MOJO

The client is very clear about the added value of MOJEO: “MOJEO’s added value is really in the area of the knowledge regarding Agile/Scrum methodology and the concreteness of the implementation. A brief and clear step-by-step plan was shown from the start and it was really applied. Very tightly directed.”
