Isos Technology: Your Ally in Scaling Agile

Agile at scale is transforming business and development as part of a larger societal change. Agile’s dynamic, time-boxed frameworks go against the grain, resulting in higher team productivity and morale, faster time to market, better quality, alignment of business and IT, and lower risk than traditional approaches can achieve. Evidently, it has become a dominant software development and delivery methodology that can deliver real business benefits. Despite the growing recognition of its transformational benefits, the consolidation of agile methodologies and tools in large organizations continues to be tricky and challenging. According to Thad West—a seasoned executive with extensive experience in product management, development team leadership, enterprise architecture, and business application development—with various flavors of Agile (scrum and kanban) being adopted across multiple agile innovation teams in a large organization, the way they work in Agile is not uniform. The challenge boils down to getting these teams to work in a similar agile fashion and toward the same strategic vision, standardizing and achieving a common understanding of Agile within the enterprise, and forming a strong Agile foundation. Set against this backdrop, how do organizations challenged with large, distributed teams enable successful agile development that reflects the same transparency and responsiveness to change?

Isos Technology has the answer—an agile framework for scaling Agile. The quest to scale Agile in large organizations ends with the best-in-class solutions that Isos Technology brings to the table. As a premier Atlassian Platinum and Enterprise Solution Partner, Isos navigates organizations in both the private and public sector through scaling Agile, by adopting the Atlassian tools for agile development. The dynamic team of process experts at Isos crafts custom solutions, integrations, and training for the clients. “With our roots deep in the development world, we understand the pain points that large organizations face while managing their projects. That said, Isos is focused on delivering large-scale enterprise agile solutions. We offer customized training and coaching to maximize the usage of Atlassian tools and build a customized environment to meet clients’ specific organizational needs,” says West, CEO, Isos Technology.

Isos embraces a coaching model in addition to providing curriculum-based training, helping the teams apply what they have learned from the real scenarios in their enterprise. When scaling Agile in organizations with large, distributed teams, West believes that the biggest measure of success is the level of visibility in an organization. To that end, Isos brings in its finely-honed combination of DevOps, ITSM, and Agile process knowledge, along with their rich Atlassian tool expertise, to help senior-level management in organizations to achieve new levels of visibility, productivity, and collaboration, eliminating time-consuming conversations.
