ANSWERING YOUR NEEDS

WE TACKLE YOUR TOUGHEST CHALLENGES.

Given the turbulence of the last several years, most technology organizations have faced a bumpy ride as they’ve moved towards greater agility. Between economic instability, cultural friction, rapidly evolving technologies, and the tight market for skilled people, businesses don’t always have a skilled Scrum team available for the next pressing opportunity.

Whether you want to expand existing capabilities or launch a radically new initiative, Evergreen’s Scrum teams are up to the task.

MEET GROWING DEMAND

New business opportunities can appear overnight, but what about the development capacity to capitalize on them? With Scrum as a service, you can add complete, custom-configured teams in a matter of weeks.

BUILD NEW STRENGTHS

When it’s time to create an all-new solution or migrate a legacy system to the latest technology platform, building up the in-house capability can be a lengthy process. Evergreen will fast-track your program with teams that offer the skills and experience you need.

OPTIMIZE VALUE DELIVERY

Effective Scrum teams can take a new idea from initial request to release-ready deployments in a few Sprints. If your teams are hampered by bottlenecks, Evergreen can help you identify impediments and move toward continuous delivery.

INCREASE BUSINESS AGILITY

When stakeholders can collaborate  with a responsive Scrum team, it opens new avenues for business. You can market-test ideas in weeks instead of months—a huge advantage in today’s ever-changing competitive landscape.

SERVICE BENEFITS

POWERFUL SCRUM, WORKING FOR YOU.

ALIGN WITH STAKEHOLDERS

The fundamental purpose of Scrum is to foster collaboration between solution teams and their customers. In every Sprint Review, the team shares its work with stakeholders and solicits feedback to ensure everyone is aligned on a common vision.

IMPROVE PREDICTABILITY

Our Scrum teams leverage flow metrics to provide full transparency into their work and to continuously improve their process. This empirical approach drives consistent delivery and reliable forecasts.

LEARN AND ADAPT QUICKLY

“Inspect and adapt” is the mantra of successful Scrum. As our teams find ways to improve quality and flow, they share learnings with your organization.

MAXIMIZE ROI

Through iterative delivery and frequent stakeholder feedback, Scrum teams reduce risk and avoid over-investing in marginally valuable features.

ADD NEW TALENT

Evergreen will also partner with you to build your own teams. You may convert our consultants to employees at no additional cost.

THE EVERGREEN WAY

HOW WE ENGAGE.

1

UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS

Our solution architects dive into the details to understand your goals, priorities, and processes. They collaborate with you to design a custom solution that encompasses both the technology needed and the team that can build it.

2

RAPIDLY LAUNCH THE PROGRAM

At Evergreen, we know that great teams don’t “just happen.” Our proprietary launch program makes sure each Scrum team—and their stakeholders—begins from a solid foundation and is productive from the start.

3

ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY

The concept of kaizen—continuous improvement—infuses the DNA of the Scrum framework. Our teams incorporate flow metrics and frequent feedback into a constant cycle of inspection and adaptation. At Evergreen, “good enough” is never good enough.

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
  • Piloted our offshore capabilities to optimize cost and ensure continued production support
  • Focused on upskilling the teams, completing more than 200 tech trainings

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 ones. 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
