1.
General.
The nature of SE-CURE
AG's coaching services are to:
- Provide
practical support;
- Maximise
the staff buy-in and help create momentum for improvement;
- Above
all, support the customer's
business objectives.
2.
CMMI Coaching.
SE-CURE AG can support in launching a CMMI-based improvement effort. Typical issues to be considered are: - What is the expected role of management?
- How can the project be organized?
- What training is needed in what areas?
- What are good examples of a process architecture?
- What is a feasible rollout concept and roadmap?
- What is the current performance?
- How can a solid business case for improvements be derived?
SE-CURE
AG can provide both formal and informal (mini-) appraisals
of an
organisation to determine strengths and weaknesses using the CMMI.
Formal assessments (in collaboration with partners) can use the SCAMPI sm
Class A,
B or C appraisal methods. A typical
internal appraisal
involves:
- Agreeing
the assessment approach (formal or informal);
- Distributing
questionnaires;
- Conducting
on-site staff interviews and group sessions;
- Reviewing
documentation;
- Validating
the findings with the group – thereby obtaining further
consensus and buy-in;
- Presenting
results and producing the appraisal report;
-
Action
planning (optional).
SE-CURE AG has also developed the CMMI®
Appraisal Recorder. This product supports both SCAMPIsm
and
internal appraisal teams in recording their CMMI® (version 1.2)
appraisal findings
and (configurable) scores for all process areas considered. Results are
summarized in tables and bar/radar charts. For more

3. Scrum
Coaching.
Successful adoption of Scrum can increase
development velocity,
improve project predictability, and enhance visibility into the
project. Failed Scrum adoptions, on the other hand, too often result in
serious problems, from poor staff morale and unhappy customers to
all-out project failure. SE-CURE AG helps you avoid
common and costly pitfalls so you
successfully adopt Scrum, either on your next project or across the
entire organization.
While we tailor our assistance to your
specific needs, our services routinely include:
- Agile training to provide a shared
understanding of the methodology and terminology;
- A requirements elicitation workshop to
create a product backlog;
- Release planning to create a roadmap to
guide the project;
- Sprint planning to create a backlog for
the next sprint;
- As-needed coaching and mentoring of the
ScrumMaster, Product Owner, and team members.
