Partnering with Pivotal Labs

This month I mobilized a new program workstream with Pivotal Labs.  

This is an experiment on many levels, and one which I am excited to watch unfold in the coming weeks.  If week 1 is any indicator, I anticipate of good energy and positive result.  

What's the experiment?  

1 Working with a new strategic partner, and creating an Accenture-Pivotal joint team. We will learn from one another, working to our representative core strengths.

2 Moving at an increased pace of Extreme Agile.   I set a bold scope to deliver quickly.  The 14-week timeline will look to produce a new online experience more quickly than my team has achieved before.  The team will co-locate and use peer methods to collaborate.

3 Using a new platform for automated Dev Ops - part of the speed play comes with optimization of the code and platform management lifecycle.  We will use Pivotal's proprietary solution and decide if and how we will bring it back to Accenture for wider work.  

The team are 5 days into the work, and coding started on Day 3.  What will we do in the next 13 weeks?  How will that create an experience my team can bring back in-house afterward?  I'll let you know ---- more soon!
