The scalable, agile framework for your Digital Transformation

Agile project management methods are based on the idea that requirements and solutions can change during a project. It is therefore important to be able to react quickly and flexibly.

Unlike traditional project management methods which focus on long-term and comprehensive planning, agile methods are designed to develop short-term goals, flexible plans and respond quickly to change. Agile project methods are also focused on collaboration and quick integration of feedback to ensure that the project stays on track and meets requirements and goals. In this context, agile methods such as Scrum and Kanban need to be mentioned, as they have become increasingly widespread in recent years and are being used successfully in many industries and projects.

However, agile methods such as Scrum have been designed to work especially in small teams.
They are not suitable for managing cross-organizational transformation projects with large teams and many sub-projects that are interdependent.
Furthermore, the classic waterfall approach is no longer an alternative in a world where the framework’s conditions are constantly changing.

FAST is the project management framework that truly drives your digital transformation.

The benefits of FAST

Agile methods are based on strict, fixed implementation cycles – the sprints. FAST scales this rhythm to further temporal dimensions. The most important element is the FAST Season Planning. In a fixed quarterly rhythm, the Season Planning provides a steady beat at which projects, teams, goals, delivery objects and results are synchronized again and again and thus become controllable. This creates continuous alignment, transparency, focus and a constant link between strategic business goals and operational implementation.

With FAST Value Streams, the big “elephant” is cut into smaller thematic slices to make the big picture manageable.

Clear rules ensure that these subprojects exclusively pursue beneficial goals and generate value.

In addition, cross-functional workstreams such as change management and operations ensure that not only the perfect solution, but also its anchoring in the organization and future operations are always monitored.
