Before going into the details of the events, the Agile principles, which are common to the different methodologies and which serve to define how the service will work, are set out first: 

• Vision and Product Roadmap: communicate the vision and roadmap of the dashboards to be developed, project or product at all levels. Sharing and explaining the strategy, objectives and work to be done is crucial for ensuring that all teams involved are working towards the same vision.
• Multidisciplinary teams: working in highly qualified teams in different fields that work together to deliver a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), share standards and ways of working. Forming such work cells minimises delays and speeds up launch time by limiting the dependencies between work teams that often exist in more traditional ways of working.
• Kanban Portfolio: manage epics, which are high-level requirements, in order to get a broad view of the work. By aligning objectives and addressing impediments and dependencies, it is possible to avoid activity congestion and to visualise the status of work in progress and pending work.
• Continuous improvement: problem solving from a pragmatic approach to solutions and improvement actions in the framework. Periodic reflection on the work process is vital.

Regarding the operational model of agile development and delivery of the different scorecards and deliverables, “Top-Down” and “Bottom-Up” strategies are combined in the organisation and management of tasks in order to deliver value in each sprint. The solution to be implemented is designed and defined through a top-down exercise, by extracting an initiative from the dashboard to be developed with our customers, until it is broken down into a set of user stories, which become team tasks.

On the other hand, the capabilities required to enable the implementation of Babel services and solutions are identified in an exercise carried out by the highly qualified team through “Bottom-Up” planning, with the solution architecture down to the necessary components and interfaces.

Babel’s multi-disciplinary teams will provide agile delivery expertise, applying at all times in their daily activities the set of values, principles and practices that will promote an iterative service with constant value increments, frequent inspection and transparent adjustment on each of these increments.

These teams will be committed to each service and solution to enforce Scrum practices in order to promote a culture of continuous improvement and rapid delivery within the teams, so that the profiles working on our projects and services are involved, with their respective roles, in the daily work and/or ceremonies.
