One of the most effective ways to introduce ODC to an organization is by means of a Deep Dive project. This provides direct value to the organization in terms of process assessment and recommendations. These studies also create a base line for use in future deployments. A few of the general benefits, beyond the technical value delivered are:
-
Conducted in retrospective mode, thereby does not impact current development
-
Can be executed by training a small technical team as opposed to a broader initiative with greater process dependencies
-
No tools impact
-
Opportunity to study current organizational practices, which can be factored into a roll-out or deployment program that may follow.
-
Allows for limited customization if it is necessary
-
Focused on business value
-
Project scoping and design done in partnership with client
-
Analysis completely performed by consultant
-
Results presented to technical team and management team
-
Technical report becomes a communication vehicle within the company
