Services

TeamPQT provides a wide variety of services geared towards improving team-based software productivity, quality, and timeliness. The services can be directed towards a specific project or at an organization/ enterprise level. TeamPQT’s philosophy is to provide exceptional services to a limited number of clients. The goal of all engagements is simple…to deliver better business value by making software teams and software organizations better.

enterprise-level services:

TeamPQT provides high end services to help companies and organizations deliver better business value over the course of an improvement initiative and to better anchor the improvements. Common aspects of the TeamPQT approach are:

• Clarity of a vision that ties back to measurables in improving the business
• Formation of a leadership team to drive the vision
• Ongoing communication throughout the enterprise
• Realigning the organization, if necessary, by removing structural impediments to change
• Creating short term wins supported by measureables
• Building on the short term wins through a series of evolving iterations

project-based services:

TeamPQT provides services to help companies get more value out of projects seeking to leverage the benefits of modern iterative development, use cases, and visual modeling. Depending on the project needs, a custom blend of workshops, mentoring and reviews are aligned with the project schedule to ensure just in time transfer of skills and to allow the team to stay focused on project goals.

Using a blend of workshops, mentoring and reviews TeamPQT helps projects to adopt:

• Modern Iterative Development
• Use Case-based Requirements
• Architectures expressed with UML
• Metrics Programs
• Earned Value usage on Iterative Development Lifecycles
• Risk Reviews

assessments:

The assessment is an instrument to help clients better understand their software development capabilities. Industry best practices are used as a frame of reference for determining clients’ development and support capabilities. Assessments are performed in the context of enterprises or projects.

workshops:

Workshops are a method to help team members learn best practices while performing in the context of their work. Workshops assist the project team at specific points in the lifecycle when key activities are being performed that become captured in project artifacts. By mentoring the team at these key points, proper behaviors can be reinforced and expected results are accelerated.

training classes:

Training classes are a method to help people learn best practices in a structured environment using a combination of lecture, exercises, and discussion. TeamPQT can discuss whether classes or workshops will provide better leverage for you.
