Introducing Agile Methods into a Project Organisation

Abstract

Bekk Consulting (BEKK), a Norwegian IT- and management consulting company changed their way of running projects from traditional waterfall to a more agile approach. It took more than a year getting the whole company onboard and more than two years to convince most of the customers. We are still learning, adjusting and improving the way we run our projects – with focus on the outcome over delivering features.

BEKK is a Norwegian IT- and management consulting company leveraging on the intellectual capital of their more than 160 employees. With specialist like graphic designers through system developers, usability experts, project managers and management consultants we create cross-functional teams running projects to high business value solutions, based on internet technology.

We will later in this report discuss what were the drivers for this transition, but first we need to understand that it’s about creating VALUE for the customer.
