Employees discuss a 3D model in the office

REALIZE

We apply user stories to define the detailed implementation scopes, which are then realized in sprints before testing and handing over to the user

DEPLOY

We transfer the implemented solution to the production environment and carry out migration and cutover activities

RUN

After go-live and subsequent start-up support (hypercare), we complete the transition to operational business

io’s agile project methodology

Our methodology is based on SCRUM, and was specifically developed to meet the requirements of SAP implementation projects. It delivers impressive shorter overall project runtimes and faster results. We reduce iterations and risks by identifying and implementing necessary and desired adjustments at an early stage, and make sure our clients always have an accurate overview of the project progress and status.

Our various collaboration models enable the involvement of client teams at the respective necessary stage to ensure effective knowledge transfer during the project. This is done either by way of full service, coaching, or embedded methods. Specialized tools are fully integrated in all project phases to ensure end-to-end traceability. We use various means to create the perfect balance of precision and speed for your project:

SAP Enable Now makes training easy
Emulate 3D automates mapping
Optimal coordination in the team with Jira
Project transparency with Confluence
