INTRODUCTION
Your project success starts with the right strategy.
Technology alone is not enough to make digitalization projects a success - they must be firmly embedded in the corporate strategy. Our opinion: Sustainable transformation can only succeed if the focus is on clear business benefits. That's why our methodology always starts with a clear strategic orientation.
In doing so, we take into account the central corporate goals that are to be achieved in every digitalization project: Be it cost reduction through more efficient processes, sales growth through new digital business models or operational efficiency achieved through automation and optimization.
Another key element of our approach is the consideration of people & culture, because successful transformation needs more - it must also be culturally anchored in the company. Scalability is just as crucial in order to meet the requirements of global markets.
With this clear objective, we ensure that each project phase delivers measurable and sustainable results - and creates maximum added value for the company.
The seven strategic value pillars - guiding principles for project success
Stakeholder and change management - who protects the company?
Stakeholder and change management ensure the acceptance and active support of all those involved through early involvement and continuous communication. Systematic support for the change enables resistance to be minimized and sustainable changes in behaviour to be established. It is essential to communicate the "why" across the organization throughout the entire project cycle and to emphasize the holistic purpose of the project.
Business Case
The business case is a critical success factor for a digitalization project, as it clearly quantifies the business benefits, weighs up risks and investments and thus creates a sound basis for decision-making. The business case also ensures that all stakeholders from pre-sales to delivery are aligned on common goals, which optimizes prioritization and the use of resources. As a result, the customer benefits from clearly measurable results and an increased probability of project success.
Project North Star
A project north star acts as a shared vision and clear orientation that clarifies the overarching direction and purpose of the project to the team. It creates a common understanding of the goals and inspires beyond mere key figures.
With the North Star as a guiding principle, it is easier for the team to make well-founded decisions in day-to-day business and align activities in a targeted manner. At the same time, it strengthens team identity and cooperation by acting as a unifying element. Especially in challenging project phases, it helps to keep the overarching purpose in view and motivates the team to work together towards the big goal.
PROJECT METHODOLOGY
Value Centric Delivery Overview & Tools
With Value Centric Delivery (VCD), we maximize the success of your project by ensuring that all activities are always geared towards direct, long-term added value for your company and responding flexibly to your changing needs.
Project phases and results
In the Strategic Vision phase, we work with the client to develop a clear picture of where the journey should take us. We analyze the current situation, identify challenges and potential and use this to develop a targeted, company-specific strategy. This phase creates orientation, priorities and a solid foundation - so that every decision in the project is based on clear objectives and generates long-term added value.
The plan phase brings structure and clarity to the implementation. The project is prepared operationally together with all relevant stakeholders: with a clear architecture, realistic schedule, coordinated communication and a prioritized task backlog. Change management and project marketing are also taken into account. This ensures that everyone involved is pulling in the same direction - with a shared vision and a plan that works.
This is where it gets concrete: in the build phase, the Solution is technically implemented, tested and prepared for productive use. Requirements are sharpened, components implemented, users trained and feedback integrated. Close coordination, clear responsibilities and continuous monitoring not only result in a functioning Solution - but one that inspires, convinces and really improves everyday working life.
The Run phase is about successfully transferring the Solution to everyday working life and exploiting its full potential. Operation begins with the go-live - accompanied by reliable support, active system monitoring and the rapid handling of any teething problems. But the project does not end there: the focus is now on expanding added value in a targeted manner, prioritizing the next steps and continuously reviewing KPIs. In this way, the Solution not only remains functional, but also continues to develop actively - in line with the company's objectives and with maximum strategic success.
Agile implementation
Agility in the implementation
An agile approach in IT projects enables rapid adaptations to changing requirements and market conditions, but must always be balanced within the project triangle. While agility offers flexibility, the business case and project north star set the binding framework for costs, schedule and quality requirements to ensure commercial success.
The balance between agile working methods and the boundaries of the project triangle is ensured by regularly reviewing developments in the business case and comparing them with the project North Star. This prevents agility from leading to uncontrolled flexibility and ensures that changes are always made in line with the overarching project objective and the economic framework conditions.
Project controlling and management tools
The foundation of a successful project is joint collaboration. We lay the foundation for transparent and simple collaboration in an onboarding process with all those involved. Using Azure DevOps project management, we work with clear boards, tasks and requirement descriptions so that the distribution and execution of activities is clearly visible at all times.
A clear and well thought-out application landscape is the key to project success. At INKUBIT , we create a customized enterprise architecture diagram to present the entire IT architecture transparently, identify bottlenecks at an early stage and integrate processes efficiently. In this way, we ensure that systems work together seamlessly, risks are minimized and resources are used optimally. This not only enables a scalable and future-proof Solution, but also sound decision-making for our customers. A strong foundation for long-term success. Here you can see an example:
In the interests of transparent collaboration, it is clear at all times where and how we are progressing with the project. All tasks are clearly summarized and their evaluation is regularly assessed in our joint meetings.
Efficient business processes are the foundation of successful companies. With our proven process engineering approach, we analyze, optimize and implement tailor-made processes that meet the individual requirements of our customers. From the initial analysis and detailed requirements planning to the development of an optimized project plan - we support our customers in every phase. Through iterative process definitions and structured implementation planning, we ensure that new processes are efficiently implemented and sustainably integrated into operations.
Our goal: transparent, scalable and efficient processes that lead companies to long-term success.
A structured project requires clear governance. Our performance circle meeting ensures that everyone involved is regularly informed about progress, challenges and priorities. Through close coordination within the team and with our customers, we ensure transparency, fast decision-making and targeted implementation. We regularly monitor compliance with the project KPIs in clear reports.
