TRANSPOWER in New Zealand used the PRINCE2 to plan ahead for electricity usage.  
 
When a future issue is identified, Transpower goes 
Through a process of: 
  • Identifying options to resolve the issue (for larger projects this will include an extensive public consultation process) 
  • Short-listing the options 
  • Determining a preferred option 
  • Seeking approval to recover the cost of the preferred 
  • option (if transmission) from the Electricity Commission 
  • (who regulate Transpower's investments) 
  • Designing the solution and consulting with any 
  • people affected 
  • Obtaining Resource Management Act approval to build. 
 
The project was successful as they are now able to manage and see how future generations will be affected with the amount of electricity usage and how they are going to manage the usage across the country. 
 
They wouldn't have been as successful if they used a different methodology because PRINCE2 is recognised nationally and due to the project being a massive one they would have needed to use a project management scheme that everyone knew so that everyone could collaborate and communicate.

In this model, an idea becomes usable software in a sequential process that cascades through the stages of Initiation, Analysis, Implementation, Testing and Maintenance.

But the Waterfall model has some disadvantages.

Agile software development evolved to eliminate the issues the Waterfall model has. It has a completely new framework. While the Waterfall model has a sequential design, the Agile model followed an incremental approach.

When clients who used to follow the Waterfall model switched to Agile, the transition brought many issues with it. The reason being inadaptability to a different approach to software development. The end product turned out to be a disaster.

From its humble beginnings tothe Toyota Production System (TPS) and beyond, the idea of lean has challenged long-held ideasregarding forecasting, push versus pull methodologies, waste in a process, and value addingactivities. What began as a model for manufacturing processes has evolved into a model that canbe applied to every facet of modern day business including service industries and general officeadministration. As demonstrated in the case studies, lean processes may be applied to anyprocess where waste can be identified and eliminated. This helps to reduce costs and thosesubsequent cost-savings can be passed along to customers in the form of more competitivepricing. https://padlet.com/adamhackney1/Unit14ProjectsB/wish/2298033898 Case study Lean]]> 2022-09-15 10:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/adamhackney1/Unit14ProjectsB/wish/2298033898 Case study https://padlet.com/adamhackney1/Unit14ProjectsB/wish/2298034046 ADAPTOVATE helps governments and public sector organisations deliver better value to their citizens and stakeholders through adopting agile ways working.

ADAPTOVATE trains, consults, and coaches government agencies to develop products or services that are more user-centric by focusing on an incremental, iterative approach and cross-functional collaboration. ADAPTOVATE helps form agile teams to deliver value at a faster cadence by working in short iterative sprints.

Clear focus on the right priorities through goal management framework
Faster delivery of improved outcomes to citizens and stakeholders through an iterative and incremental approach that incorporates their feedback frequently
Improved team morale and productivity through a shift of leadership mindsets to empower self-organising teams by delegating decision making]]> 2022-09-15 10:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/adamhackney1/Unit14ProjectsB/wish/2298034046 Agile https://padlet.com/adamhackney1/Unit14ProjectsB/wish/2298034055 LEGO

The famous LEGO toy company started its agile approach starting with teams. 20 product teams were working across the organization at the start of the Agile implementation and it turned to 5 of them into self-organizing Scrum teams. Gradually the other teams were being progressively transformed as Scrum took effect.

Initially, although individual teams had become agile, they were still unable to cooperate effectively. LEGO followed the SAFe structure pattern and from there began to see results.

 PRINCE2® training allowed to not only handle the changeover from Irish pound to Euro without leaving customers stranded during the switch, but also empowered her and her team to use the changeover period as a catalyst for change. 

“Originally, I was doing everything myself. Nor did I really understand the project manager’s role so I took the job description out of the PRINCE2® Manual, tailored it for my circumstances and saw how I could get support from others.”  ]]> 2023-09-19 09:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/adamhackney1/Unit14ProjectsB/wish/2710474582
