HSO's Delivery Framework Methodology for Power Platform
Empower innovation while reducing project TCO with smart delivery
Accelerate business innovation with Microsoft Power Platform: Choosing the right partner for success
Success in business today depends on the ability to innovate quickly, which is why organizations are turning to low-code platforms like the Microsoft Power Platform to rapidly build solutions and streamline insights with a seamless, intuitive end-user experience.
If you've decided to adopt the Power Platform, you have another important decision to make: Who to partner with to plan, build, and deploy those solutions and equip you to get the most out of your Power Platform investment—a partner with delivery framework that will set you up for success.
Why is a delivery framework important?
Low-code/no-code development is simpler than traditional software development, but it requires structure, planning, and control of the process. Here's how it benefits you:
A properly managed project has accurate estimates and stays on track, avoiding overruns
A proven delivery framework has a detailed project timeline, keeping the project on track
A delivery framework reflects your needs, outlines expected results, and stays on track to deliver
Careful planning, with assessments that ID potential pitfalls, ensures a solid end product
Communication is paramount in any project. A solid delivery framework ensures consistent, open communication, including providing proof of progress
Why choose HSO for your Power Platform initiatives
We understand the building blocks of the Power Platform--the powerful features that afford us not only an accelerated start to implementations but also enable us to deliver sophisticated solutions in a much shorter time compared to traditional software development.
The Microsoft Azure cloud and Power Platform’s bring interoperability--the reduction in time spent toggling between applications. We leverage this in our solutions, creating meaningful experiences for end users, bringing seamlessness to workflows while ensuring each persona gets the maximum value.
HSO's delivery framework
Our delivery framework is based on Scrum, part of the Agile Methodology, the most widely accepted software development approach. Work is delivered in “sprints,” completing a predetermined set of deliverables after each sprint, making it easier to identify gaps in requirements, which helps ensure an on-time, on-budget delivery of the project. You also get the opportunity to see the progress of the project as it moves along.
Our approach involves the following sprint "ceremonies":
The team completes the review the stories targeted for the upcoming sprint, the sprint capacity, story assignments and commits to the stories to be delivered during the sprint (Once per sprint, 1-2 hours)
Team members provide updates and alert the team to potential challenges and blockers. What I did yesterday, what am I doing today, what impedes my progress. (Daily, 15 mins)
Team refines the backlog including adding, updating, removing items, splitting items, prioritizing items, updating acceptance criteria, educating the team on items, playing planning poker, etc. (1 to 2 times per week, 1-2 hours)
Review the commitments that were made at Sprint Planning, summarize the results, and demo the completed work (Once per sprint, 1-2 hours)
Team reviews bugs, severity, priority, assignments, etc. (as needed based on size of bug list and stage of the project)
Reflect on how the team is doing and look for ways to improve. What should we continue doing? What should we stop doing? What should be start doing? (Once per sprint, 1 hour)
Why choose the Power Platform
The Power Platform offers a myriad of reasons to be the preferred choice for businesses. Its powerful and pre-built features and functions make modernization efforts a breeze, fostering quick transformation while creating reusable assets through its modular design. By enabling faster project delivery compared to traditional methods, it helps organizations save valuable time and resources.
Moreover, the platform's easy interface seamlessly connects with diverse data sources, resulting in enriching experiences and streamlined workflows. This user-friendly approach also appeals to a broader audience, driving higher user adoption rates and empowering businesses to achieve greater efficiency and success.
Making the Power Platform even more powerful with AI
Microsoft has incorporated artificial intelligence (AI) into all its platforms, including the Power Platform, and we know how to leverage it to deliver value to our customers. AI not only enhances the abilities of your Power Platform solution; its native availability also accelerates project delivery. This also frees us to put our efforts towards solving more complex scenarios.
