Global Software Consulting and IT Services Firm Turns Agile with Orangescrum

ONE Business Consulting Group (One BCG) is a Global Software Consulting and IT services firm offering integrated business solutions, enabling clients to optimize their business with greater efficiency, and increased responsiveness.

ONE BCG was founded in Sydney back in 2000, and now has spread its wings across the globe with presence in Australia, Botswana, India, UK and US servicing clients across the globe, from enterprise level businesses to helping start-ups take their ideas to launch. ONE BCG offers full range of IT/Software consulting services including design & architecture of Cloud based solutions, software build & deployment, along with infrastructure maintenance and support.

As evident from their portfolio, clientele, wide technical outreach and distributed teams project agility was a top priority for them. 

Having a wide range of clientele, multiple in-flight projects, ever-looming project delivery timelines and a robust project pipeline are challenges all organizations love to face.

“And as always, these challenges bring with them – scope creeps, changing business demands, budget & resource constraints, change in project schedule and at times the project end goals due to the ever-shifting business landscape.”

One BCG too had a mixed bag of the above problems and needed a platform that

• Supports quick sprints and task iterations
• Provides with absolute clarity the progress of – Backlogs, To Do, In-Progress & Completed tasks
• Offers resource availability & utilization for project execution
• Presents accurate billable information for on-time billing and revenue generation
• Gives granular data on actual vs. estimated project hours for within budget delivery 
  Allows capturing of true time spent on project tasks.

“Our project were running out of budgeted hours, dependency on other tools to get real time data on project progress and inability to perform timely project health check-ups were significant challenges we had to overcome says Sachin Kumar, Project Manager, One BCG”

Sachin Kumar further adds on – a lot was at stake. It was not just about delivering projects, but about being agile in our approach for faster and accurate execution. One BCG prides in working with a sense of urgency and the ability to deliver high value services on time and within budget!

For us Agility meant – try fast, fail fast and succeed fast! Success here meant getting the minimum viable product approved within the stipulated time. We are committed to delivering products that enable our client’s processes and integrate seamlessly with their existing toolset.

Hence it becomes very important as a product development and software consulting agency to be highly agile and have nimble execution process to support our clients’ changing demands.
