Improve the Way You Create Software
Sweeping change can create chaos in an organization. Agile development addresses this change logically, and the Projex Group works very closely with your organization to identify areas of opportunity and make small incremental improvements.
The result.
Your development team will competently adopt and implement Agile and improve the way your organization develops software.
As more organizations attempt to improve their software development processes, increasing focus is being placed on adopting Agile practices.
Transitioning from Waterfall to Agile is not only a big change, but also a change that needs to happen at an organizational level. Leading such a change requires a clear vision about the end goal and must effectively communicate the vision to all.
Under The Projex Group’s expert guidance, your team will experience a smooth transition from Waterfall to Agile by using industry-tested and proven techniques for the assessment, adoption, and sustainment of Agile values, principles and practices. But more importantly, your team will experience these improvements in a way that will ensure a smooth, successful transition to Agile.

Consistent. Repeatable. Predictable.
Every organization needs structured project management processes in order to develop predictable and repeatable outcomes and take advantage of its strengths. Yet, many organizations do not follow a structured project management framework or follow any established “best practices”. They do not incorporate these standard best practices with their own processes and templates to develop their project management methodology either. The Projex Group will work with your own internal PMO or PPM group to help define, develop and produce simple PM frameworks or detailed methodologies.

The Projex Group builds and develops high value PMOs that offer organizations the ability to sustain optimal operational results and continuous improvement efforts. Our proven eight level PMO maturity model is used to assess the capability of the PMO and suggest a development model that is right for you.
Implementing standard project management practices and improving project success rates are two primary reasons why organizations establish project management offices. There are many complex factors to consider when implementing and sustaining a PMO. Factors such as governance, the project prioritization and project selection process, along with resource allocation decisions. These factors impact the ability of a PMO to operate effectively and efficiently over time.
When designed, implemented, and refined via continuous improvement, PMOs provide strategic value to the organization. The Projex Group has a methodology which is scalable to fit PMOs at any level and size of the organization (departmental – divisional – enterprise, etc.)
Our skilled experts work with your organization to:
Determine the appropriate sponsorship for the PMO
Identify the HR needs (supporting functions & appropriate staffing) required to achieve goals
Develop the PMO Charter, including the mission/vision statement, Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Key Performance Indicators(KPIs)
Implement core functions of the PMO (training, resource management, methodology)

Business Analysis Consulting
-
The business analyst (BA) has emerged as a pivotal link in ensuring the successful specification of requirements. Their goal is to deliver effective business solutions and business process transformations.
However, to succeed, a business analyst should follow a methodology that provides just enough processes, tools, and guidelines so they can progress efficiently and overcome the complexities and vagaries of a project.
The Projex Group can help your organization create or enhance your business analysis methodology with a structured approach that improves the tasks associated with elicitation, analysis, specification, and verification.
We use a proven seven-step process to evaluate your organization’s current methodology and provide recommendations on processes, deliverables, techniques, and workflow. Here is the seven-step process:
Assessment of the current state
Determination of desired future state
Analysis of gaps
Specification of desired level of maturity
Development of competency model
Dissemination of improvements
Maintenance and continuous enhancement of new competencies

Determining which metrics to use to improve your organization’s productivity and performance is tricky. A goal that is too lofty will demotivate the team rather than inspire improvements; one that is too low will not yield the desired results. Choosing unsuitable metrics can be time-consuming to collect and can produce the wrong results.
Whether you’re attempting to improve an inefficient process, reduce software defects, or increase revenue, The Projex Group will use expert techniques to better understand your current situation and goals and then use an emerging set of best practices to develop a metrics program to help your organization achieve results.

The essential components of competent requirements management are planning, people, process, and templates, all interrelated and not separate.
However, many companies have not updated their requirements templates as the needs of their organization have changed. The infamous business requirements document (BRD) or functional requirements specification (FRS) is difficult to complete. The sections are often left blank because they are no longer appropriate or confusing.
If your requirements templates have not changed despite your desire for a lighter, more flexible process, this could be a significant cause of the requirement problems you seek to resolve.
The Projex Group understands the importance of having well-structured, streamlined, integrated templates that match the methodology and culture of your organization. Using a proven approach, we will review critical factors within your requirements process and then update or replace your current templates to significantly improve your organization's requirements elicitation, analysis, and documentation processes.
