At Alchemy we believe that implementing Agile practices creates an environment ideal for individual employee growth and customer success.
Key Agile practices are design thinking, inspect-and-adapt, pair programming, test driven development, and constant collaboration and communication.
Agile approaches put great faith in individual employees to participate in collaboration and communication to drive customer and business outcomes. With Agile, everyday employees can learn a little more from the experience of others as well as their own. At the end of every sprint there is an opportunity for reflection and review.
A successful implementation of Agile is turning what employees have learnt as individuals into the way they work collaboratively. It’s about ensuring that employees don’t slip back into old habits and that process problems are regularly surfaced and addressed.
The Agile principles of fail early, inbuilt quality and spike solutions are all focused on continuous learning. In such a working environment, individuals are likely to learn and grow themselves, whilst delivering quality outcomes for customers and creating value for the organisation.
Teams engaged in Agile thinking are present in a work environment that is healthier and happier. This benefits individual employees, providing organisations with the opportunity to improve employee engagement, sentiment and retention.
At its heart, what we do is put people front and centre. That’s how successful engagement and value is driven, and is what sets us apart from other Agile capability development partners.
We call it Human Centric Agile.
