Solution Concept

SHIFT 2 Hybrid facilitates project management control and improves communication by allowing the integration between traditional and Agile project management tools.

The project leader defines the resources, the priorities, the tasks’ start and finish dates, and the checklists’ template in a traditional project management tool, like Microsoft Project. Then, teams report tasks’ completion percentage and start or finish dates’ changes in an Agile project management tool, like Microsoft Planner or Azure DevOps.

With this solution, users can prioritize work, confirm deadlines and add a checklist with instructions to other team members. It also improves the quality of the information through better team engagement and buy-in.

Simple AS 1-2-3

SHIFT 2 Hybrid is based on three simple steps:

1. Identify in the plan if the task should be managed in a team. The system will automatically create the task for you on the agile tool with a checklist based on templates;
2. On the Agile tool, assign resources to tasks and adjust the start and/or finish dates;
3. Use the task checklist to report progress back to the project plan.

Optionally you can define a template for items to check on each project task.

SHIFT 2 HYBRID implementation process

As this solution is pre-configured, you don’t need to waste time explaining us everything, but we’ve kept enough hours to give you exactly what you need:

1. Specific requirements (on your premises or remote);
2. Training (on your premises or remote);
3. Assistance for your team to do the change into a new way of working (on-premise). This is optional;
4. An adequate level of remote support.
