Case Study: a large e-commerce retailer achieves agile transformation with AIM Consulting Group

Large E-Commerce Retailer transforms to agile in 8 weeks with AIM Consulting Group

A major e-commerce retailer was facing a challenge following a merger. Its new CIO wanted to transform the entire IT organization from a mix of waterfall and agile processes to a fully agile methodology but lacked the internal expertise to train and coach its eighteen development groups. To achieve this agile transformation, the company engaged the services of AIM Consulting Group.

AIM Consulting provided a highly skilled agile coach who implemented a hybrid training and coaching solution over eight weeks. The consultant trained four groups using customized sessions based on the Spotify model and provided hands-on coaching during all agile ceremonies. As a result, the teams saw immediate benefits, including a reduction in meeting times from one hour to fifteen minutes and a quick increase in sprint velocity. The transformation also increased clarity, reduced team anxiety, and shifted the company's focus from project-based to product-based deliverables.
