Initial Steps

• Pull out the required data in order to determine a suitable goal to work towards in the next quarter.
• If data isn’t currently readily or easily available call it out.
Data Baseline • Timeframes: Data collected by COP 7th December, Targeted Relative Change agreed by 12th December for Q4 to action.
and Targets

• Assess your delivery cycle and understand where most of your time is currently being spent – e.g. requirements
gathering, packaging deployments, deploying to prod etc.
Identify • Work on introducing new ways of working or tooling in order to reduce this time and hit the above agreed upon
Bottlenecks targets.

• In our push to a more Agile and DevOps oriented way of working we will have a lot of scope to bring in new toolsets
and processes. Actively try to learn what tools do and how you could look to bring them into your stack.
Upskill & • This could be tools like Jenkins, Docker, Rundeck, Ansible, Selenium, ELK…
Implement • Fortnightly Calls to track progress, Microsoft Teams set up for collaboration and issues, Acting Consultant
