CollabNet's New Agile Assessment Service Jumpstarts Enterprise Agile Transformations

BRISBANE, Calif., March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CollabNet® (www.collab.net), the global leader for enterprise cloud development and Agile ALM products and services, today announced Agile Assessment, a new consulting service that helps IT organizations assess the status of existing Agile practices and develop strategies to extend the benefits of Agile-based methodologies across the enterprise.  

"Agile methodologies continue to mature, and many organizations are looking to move beyond team-level project management and apply Agile practices across the enterprise, from application development on through to deployment," said Tony Farinaro, senior vice president of worldwide services for CollabNet. "Our new Agile Assessment services are a crucial step in transforming entrenched organizational cultures into an environment where Agile is not only accepted but embraced throughout the enterprise."

Agile Assessment is a formal, structured approach to Agile success that follows a tested methodology that has been proven through numerous enterprise customer engagements. Leveraging CollabNet's years of Agile experience, it includes a 5-day assessment process that is conducted by senior consultants on the customer's site. It supports Agile transformations within the enterprise and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each customer, and identifies a firm, quantifiable action plan for improvement. The Agile Assessment takes a quantitative approach so progress can be measured as the proposed action plan is executed.

In addition to providing Agile ALM, version control systems and Cloud development tools and platforms, CollabNet provides a range of training, coaching and consulting services that help IT organizations address the challenges of Agile software development. It is the world leader in Certified Scrum Training, conducting more than 200 courses a year and certifying more than 3,000 ScrumMasters annually. It also recently launched "Agility Beyond Scrum: Preparing for the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) Exam," a one-day, PMI-certified workshop that provides a complete overview of Agile principles and prepares candidates for the Project Management Institute ACP exam.
