How to go for Agile Innovation which is full of unknown quantities??

Deliver: Agile Execution aligned to Innovation

When all is done, when the observations and insights have sparked an idea for innovation, and the innovation has been distilled into concrete requirements and designs, the Deliver phase is about bringing it all to life. It's about breathing life into a design, lifting it from paper concept to production code.

I'll talk more about agile development, the adoption of Scrum, and the traits of innovation methods that I believe align with traits of agile software development methods.

Define: Where Requirements inform the Design, and the Design informs the Requirements

The industry has long accepted the fate-sealing that occurs when a project commences development/delivery before requirements have been adequately specified. In the 3D methodology, the Define phase commences when we feel we have gained enough insight and observations about user-needs, technology opportunities and strategic business drivers, to have a solution set of opportunities that can be elaborated with the customer into a set of business requirements.


Discover: Gaining the Insights for Innovation

If Define and Deliver answer the question "how do we build things right', then Discover answers the question "how do we build the right thing". In our discovery process, we very much embrace innovation techniques and user-centered design methods that uncover the critical insights that ignite the spark and uncover the soul of an application.

In the discovery phase, it is our goal to construct a portfolio of ideas to inform the very requirements that we collect with our customer to gather. These insights come from observation of the very individuals for whom our solutions will be in service.
