    Restoring the delivery of a software publishing company
    SOFTWARE PUBLISHING
    March 2019 - April 2019 (1 month)
    Angers, France
    Results
    - First delivery: in2 weeks
    - Product Delivery restored inless than 30 days
    - Increased consultant involvement without compromising client load
    - Anticipation of scaling
    with the structuring of Nexus (scaled Scrum for this SME)

    Challenge

    Growing from 5 to 25 people in 1 year, the company faced several critical challenges in managing its growth:

    - Strong dependencies between consultants and developers, complicating priority management
    - Excessive workload for functional consultants, limiting their availability for developers
    - Deliveries no longer meeting client needs

    Objectives
    - Improve product delivery to ensure regular deliveries meeting needs
    - Structure an effective Agile framework to support scaling

    Phase 1: Diagnosis and recommendations (Flash Audit - 2 days)

    - Analysis of bottlenecks
    - Identification of critical dependencies
    - Common desire from management and teams: rapid implementation of Scrum

    My proposal: "Scrum Shock Therapy", rather than a gradual transition, to meet this alignment.

    Phase 2: Implementation (4-week support - 2h/day)

    1- Team structuring
    2- Workflow optimization
    3- Quality coaching: introduction to Extreme Programming (XP) practices
    4- Product Owner training
    5- Scrum Shock Therapy: launching the first sprint with a backlog aligned with client expectations

    With the partners:
    - Strategic alignment through sprint reviews
    - Introduction of the "Golden Ticket" concept: 1 man-day per sprint reserved for commercial emergencies

    Impact

    Thanks to a rapid and targeted transformation,

    **Ignimission was able to align its product delivery with client needs**, preparing its evolution towards a sustainable software publisher model.
