Tired

No matter how long you’ve been practicing Scrum, getting the right team in place, retaining talent, and achieving the envisioned product are just a few common challenges you might be facing. When you engage Evergreen’s Scrum as a Service offering, we don’t just consult on a solution, we deliver that solution and provide end-to-end management. We hire and manage the team, take the overhead work completely off your plate, and ensure your business goals are met.

ANSWERING YOUR NEEDS

WHEN TO CONSIDER SCRUM AS A SERVICE.

Whether you are still waiting to see the benefits that come with practicing Scrum or you just need some extra support bringing this methodology to your organization, here are a few key indicators that Scrum as a Service can make a meaningful impact for your business.

EXPERIENCING HIGH ATTRITION

Not only can Scrum as a Service curb the effects of attrition—such as tribal knowledge loss, capacity loss, and team disruption—but it can expose the root causes of attrition, including team morale and employee satisfaction.

RAPIDLY EXPANDING YOUR BUSINESS

Whether your organization is growing at an accelerated rate or just landed a massive project that requires support, Scrum as a Service can quickly inject high-quality talent while taking the management burden off your shoulders.

CONSISTENTLY MISSED COMMITMENTS

You’ve placed your dev team in charge of projects in the past, but delivery is delayed, there’s a lack of predictability, features are missing, and output is reduced. If this sounds familiar, Scrum as a Service can provide a clearer path to your next project’s finish line.

NEED FOR CROSS-FUNCTIONALITY

Without cross-functionality, your teams are missing out on the opportunity to learn from each other and work toward a common goal, and thrashing is a more common occurrence. With Scrum as a Service, cross-functionality becomes a top priority.

SERVICE BENEFITS

WHY CONSIDER SCRUM AS A SERVICE.

ALIGNMENT WITH STAKEHOLDERS

The Scrum methodology bridges gaps between the development team and other stakeholders, meaning everyone is always on the same page about goals and needs.

INCREASED VISIBILITY

Consistent reporting, communication, and stakeholder check-ins provide transparency that goes well beyond typical software development projects.

ADAPTABLE TO EVOLVING NEEDS

Feedback is regularly solicited through sprint reviews, allowing the Scrum team to continually adjust features or functions on an as-needed basis.

PRODUCTS THAT REFLECT YOUR VISION

The continuous feedback cycle of Scrum ensures the final product reflects your vision and precise needs.

NO LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS

By leveraging Scrum as a Service, the team is hired specifically for your project, after which you can choose to hire them full-time.

Transitioning a Fortune 500 Telecom Company to an Agile Environment

Client Challenge

With a number of upcoming marketing data projects, our client was looking to transition to an Agile environment with self-sufficient DevOps teams that could handle these projects end-to-end.

Keeping cost optimization top of mind, we leveraged Scrum as a Service to stand up an Agile DevOps environment and deploy multiple Scrum teams:

  • Scaled 14 Scrum teams across seven lines of business to support the client’s Agile transformation
  • Utilized our offshore capabilities to optimize cost, ultimately driving $1.2MM in annual savings

Enabling Inventory Tracking on a Grocery Retailer’s Customer-Facing Website

Client Challenge

To help increase their customer satisfaction scores, our client was in need of website development that would allow their customers to see product inventory at their local store. This project would need to include the development, launch, and A/B testing of the inventory function.

Our Solution

Evergreen launched a Scrum team that worked in close collaboration with the client stakeholders. Along with support from Evergreen’s Agile Coach, this team delivered the following:

  • A process that allowed them to provide the requested functionality as defined, verify its operation, and prepare it for deployment
  • Successful on-time launch for the website functionality
  • Additional features at the client’s request to further support their growing website needs

Migrating a State’s Paper Records to an Electronic Document Management System

Client Challenge

Our client, a state government technology services team, was looking for a method to move away from paper records and bring these documents into a digital environment.

Our Solution

We recognized the need to increase capacity, so the solution started with adding additional teams to the client’s existing resources. Along with hiring and onboarding the additional Scrum teams, we are providing:

  • An accelerated conversion of files to the digital repositories thanks to the increased bandwidth
  • A defined MVP for the project that will allow for iterative enhancements throughout the migration
  • An increased level of transparency for the client by leaning into Scrum

FAQs

More About Scrum as a Service.

Wherever you’re at in your Scrum journey, we can meet you there. If you’re well-practiced in Agile and Scrum, we can help enhance the performance of your Scrum teams. On the other hand, if you’re brand new to Scrum, we’re here to help! Our Agile Services team has 80+ years of combined experience in Agile and can help you understand the best methodology for your needs and connect the dots on how to leverage Scrum.
Evergreen’s Agile Services team is knowledgeable on the different Agile frameworks and offers our clients guidance on which framework will be best for their needs. Just one of these is Scrum.
We do not have an Agile bench at Evergreen. Instead, all Scrum teams are built from the ground up. By customizing each team, we can tailor resources to your specific needs and culture, ensuring that you get the best talent for your project. Speed is never sacrificed either, as we leverage Insight Global’s staffing engine to quickly find and hire the highest-quality talent.
At Evergreen, we are tech agnostic. We meet you where you’re at and work in whatever tech stack or tech environment you prefer. If you are looking to add new tech or need recommendations on what platform is going to be best for your next project, we can also provide that.
