The All-Stars

A lot of exciting things happened during the last weeks. We finished all 7 (!!) of our interviews with 6 different Atos Stakeholders to get a feeling for the extent of the hurdles they are facing and what they are currently doing to overcome these.

We have found a wealth of possible solutions to help out the Client Executives in winning and managing the projects more effectively. Possible solutions range from on-site visits to the software development centers to using live online Dashboards informing the client about the progress being made.

On the technical end we are working on getting access to data to run a proof of concept, testing the estimation method that, if it works as we think it will, would be superior in every way to the method Atos is currently using and thus improving the upfront estimation of project complexity and thus price.

During the next two weeks we will be focusing on checking which of our solution ideas would be feasible for the different projects and clients Atos deals with and Integrating them to a comprehensive strategy to help Atos make better use of their off-site development centers.

The Atos All Stars wish you all a happy Easter!

We are excited to share what we were working on last with you. We had our first 2 Interviews with members of the Regional and Global Software Metrics office who provided us with insights into the current practices of software estimation as well as their take on the areas that need improvement.

On Thursday we had our Mid-Term presentation with the Client where we presented them our progress and findings so far. Atos is very happy with the progress we made as we were able to specify the problems more concretely and came up with a few possible solutions.

So... We are already halfway through our Premium project. If you want to see what we have been up to in the last weeks check out our Mid-term presentation! If you have any feedback or comments feel free to write them in the comment section below.
