Projects

Holistic project management – flexible and structured

Whether it’s a single project, multi-project management, or establishing a Project Management Office (PMO) — we plan with you, successfully implement projects and PMOs, and support you from preparation through to go-live. Our holistic approach typically integrates

established traditional project management methods

with agile methodologies

and combines them into hybrid approaches when appropriate.

 

We keep pace with the constant evolution of requirements and innovative tools, always striving to integrate them effectively into our project management.

Our approach: systemic, agile, impact-oriented

A well-structured project is the key to success.

Before the project begins, we develop a comprehensive picture of the project, its goals, and risks through our systemic approach — taking into account all relevant perspectives. During the project, we employ both agile methods and iterative, systemic processes to respond flexibly to changes and steer the project effectively. As needed, we identify and establish the framework you require — from custom-designed solutions to capacity works®.

 

Agile methods of project management:

  • Scrum: Scrum enables us to execute projects iteratively and incrementally. Teams work in short sprints that ensure regular feedback loops and adjustments.
  • Kanban: This method visualizes the workflow and helps prioritize tasks clearly. It allows us to monitor work progress in real time and quickly identify bottlenecks.
  • Design Thinking: Design Thinking allows us to develop creative, user-centered solutions. Through workshops and iterative prototyping processes, we ensure that the needs of all stakeholders are incorporated into the development.

 

Our tools:

The world of work is changing and so are its tools. We keep pace with the dynamics of innovation (without discarding what has proven effective) and take various tool options into account when setting up structures of project management.

Digital tools

Asana/Jira/Trello

Modern project management tools like Asana, Jira, or Trello enable us to coordinate and manage tasks and timelines across teams.

Miro/Mural/Conceptboard

Digital collaboration tools like Miro, Mural, or Conceptboard enable us to work together flexibly, independent of time and location.

MS Teams/Slack/ClickUp

Comprehensive communication platforms like MS Teams, Slack, or ClickUp enable us to connect various project stakeholders and facilitate seamless exchange among them.

ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini

AI-based services such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini enable us to increase efficiency across a wide range of use cases — including project management. We continuously embrace new innovations and actively incorporate tools like these into our project work.
