Ambarics software & consulting GmbH & Co. KG faced challenges as it expanded, leading to fragmented communication and operational inefficiencies.
The implementation of Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) by André Bohn addressed these challenges, enhancing transparency and teamwork.
The team at ambarics adopted a step-by-step approach, focusing on core elements, such as establishing a Definition of Workflow and a digital Kanban Board.
Limiting Work in Progress (WiP) to five items per person per week facilitated workload management and improved task completion.
The transition to PSK resulted in improved visibility, customer interactions, and collaboration among team members, boosting productivity and customer satisfaction.
The implementation led to a 75% reduction in planning session time, translating to a productivity gain of around 14% for the team.
Continuous improvement and adapting PSK to fit their business needs were key factors in ambarics' success.
Future directions for ambarics include using more Flow Metrics, refining workflows, and potentially commercializing their system as a service.
Implementing PSK enhanced discussions about work and decision-making, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and customer success at ambarics.
The case study emphasizes the unique approach taken by ambarics and the significance of patience and adaptation in organizational transformations.
