Covid-19 has impacted how many organisations see their IT requirements continue to be successfully delivered, thereby ensuring businesses remain competitive, efficient, and current.
Delivering on your features is more critical than ever due to the uncertainty we find ourselves in. Within the healthcare arena, we continue to ensure that we deliver the right features quickly and to high quality standards, giving ourselves the opportunity to learn, experiment and fail fast. Key to our success is that we collaborate, reflect, and continuously improve, and that this methodology lives on past short-term tactical and delivery challenges.
During the session we took the opportunity to discuss the key parts of successful feature delivery as we see it, how we apply our teams to these challenging range of healthcare opportunities and what we might do differently in the now remote delivery landscape.
It’s business as usual at BJSS – albeit with a far more refined approach to ensuring clarity of understanding and precision around quality delivery, specifically in the context of leveraging remote or distributed teams.
People have reacted in an impressive way and their support for each other’s contributions is telling, Businesses have reacted in a positive way and much of the typical behaviour around hierarchy or position is no longer a draw, the “boardroom theatre” is no longer a valid currency. We have seen great levelling, as we are now all in caps, t-shirts and dealing visible with challenges in the home. We believe this enables a less reserved flow of relevant information and improves inclusivity.
That’s not to say there are not severe impacts for many, but there are many positive aspects seen by all. We should make sure people have time, and are supported in managing their time.
With that, let's take a look at some of the key components of feature delivery in the healthcare arena, as we respond to the realities of remote technology delivery achieved in a non-physical setting, and some of the challenges and benefits we see.
