Agility is the ability to move easily and quickly. ActioNetAgile™ embodies project nimbleness and work rhythms that iteratively deliver working software.

ActioNetAgile™ offers a philosophy and framework for project management, which incorporates Scrum, Extreme Programming, and DevSecOps software development methods. ActioNet delivers usable software with no delays, saving our customers time and money while getting new services to market in record time.

ActioNetAgile™ is built on a combination of frameworks including the Project Management Institute PMBOK®, ITIL®, CMMI®, and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) focusing on end-user and technology alignment, quality, transparency, execution, and maintainability. This transforms the traditional development paradigm, taking a “software defined everything” approach that fully uses Cloud service capabilities.

Agile Team Augmentation and Surge Support

Some of our customers who have in-house skill set to manage software solutions often want to procure agile teams to bridge skill set gaps or for surge support.

Case Study

Implementing an automated DevOps Pipeline Solution to Managed Business Critical Systems

Our customer had initiated both Agile and DevOps practices, but these initiatives lacked a maturity map to foster adoption of an agency-wide culture and technology shift.

What We Did

ActioNet partnered with the customer to mature their Agile software development practices, integrated selected DevOps best practices to produce a tailored framework customized to support their requirements. We also provided automated application testing, modern change and configuration management, software build, packaging, deployment orchestration, and release management utilizing industry best practice tools. Our team implemented a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) methodology for organizing portfolio management of 16 simultaneous scrum teams for both news development and maintenance. We also provided ongoing maintenance activities including tired end-user support, environment management, and infrastructure support of all systems.

Outcome

By implementing a Kanban approach, we enabled the customer scrum teams to meet their sprint commitments and establish a methodology for addressing changing priorities of work. We utilized these same techniques to manage our own work to provide additional software development teams to the customer and further increase the stability and predictability of software deployments.
