Client: Sundhed.dk SecretariatPlan and carry out a detransition project at the development organisation site with a team of 5-7 FTE representing the supplier. At a national level the project was very important for several critical online service providers in the Danish national healthcare system. The business need was to close an existing large scale award-winning web portal including several 3rd party integrations. The project included closure of the existing portal. In parallel a new portal was built on a new technical platform by a new supplier. Hence, the project was highly profiled in all three organisations. The cooperation between the customer and the two suppliers was very intense with frequent deliverables and a very tight cooperation between the parties. Using an agile approach the IBM organisation was highly manoeuvrable using the most experienced agile team in IBM Denmark to complete the project. The project was delivered spot on time within budget and with a very satisfied customer and stakeholders. The project earns as showcase to how complex projects can benefit from using an agile approach.
