Scaled Agile Framework Adoption
Doubling output in productivity
Challenge
Home Care Home Base (HCHB), the #1 software for home-based care, faced the challenge of improving its operational efficiency to keep pace with the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. With complex internal structures, HCHB struggled to streamline its release cycles, resulting in limited agility and productivity. The company aimed to accelerate its software delivery pipeline, moving from just four releases per year to a more frequent and responsive development cycle. To achieve this, HCHB turned to Kopius to lead a comprehensive transformation, implementing a scalable agile framework (SAFe) across all layers of the organization.
Solution
Kopius played a pivotal role in HCHB’s adoption of SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework). Our experts worked closely with HCHB’s leadership, middle management, and technical teams to ensure a smooth and thorough adoption of SAFe principles, including Agile Release Trains, Iteration Planning, and Continuous Delivery Pipelines. By embedding SAFe practices into HCHB’s workflow, Kopius was able to help the organization shift to a more iterative and predictable development process. This transformation empowered HCHB’s teams to deliver value more efficiently, with improved collaboration and alignment across departments, ultimately setting the stage for faster and more frequent releases.
Results
HCHB’s SAFe adoption, supported by Kopius, resulted in a significant boost in productivity, doubling its output in a short period. By moving from four releases per year to a projected one release per month, HCHB drastically improved its speed to market while maintaining quality and efficiency. This shift not only accelerated the delivery of critical software updates but also allowed HCHB to respond more quickly to market demands and customer needs, ensuring continuous improvement and innovation in its digital services.
