WorkFinity® BPRM Framework
IPCS delivers WorkFinity® BPRM framework for building next generation, smart and automated enterprise applications based on LEAN and Agile methodologies. Our Agile methodology factors real world facts of life that any software application will age, a compelling need for business processes to change considering the changing business dynamics / customer needs / market changes etc. Hence it is imperative to be able to continuously adapt IT/software applications that will ensure they stay evergreen and provide continued sustainable business value over the years. This is where we believe Agile's value proposition really makes a difference.
At times, depending upon the nature of enterprise transition to Agile, we also emphasize individuals and interactions over processes and tools. However, traditional development tools do not have the seamless integration and key features essential to support an Agile development process. The promise of Agile cannot be fully recognized without enabling technology that shortens delivery cycles and increases software development agility, project predictability, responsiveness to business change and overall development team productivity.
As with every methodology, we use a set of best practices that need to be religiously followed to ensure project success:
- Scoping/Sizing the real business needs
- The importance of getting the right users involved
- Involving the trainers in the agile process
- Balancing new functionality with usability
Our LEAN subject-matter-experts (SMEs) and consultants bring extensive experience in LEAN transformation involving facilitation, process analysis and redesign, consulting and training expertise. We are committed to provide customer satisfaction through commitment and highest standards of service.
