Performance Measurement

Our strong focus on real and measured performance metrics across your IT process domain is motivated by our evidence-driven approach where data and informed opinion work together. We help you implement actions that are measurable and cost effective regardless of the process framework; CMMI, CMM, ITIL, COBIT, ISO, SPICE, RUP or techniques such as function point, use cases, lean, agile development, cosmic, or homegrown approaches.

You benefit from our extensive experience in industry and government which we tailor to your unique environment and culture whether you outsource for offshore software development or in source, or have blended business models.

Our IT consultants deliver value, whether providing training, coaching, knowledge transfer and/or hands-on consulting from the start to the finish of your project. Our agile project management approach ensures that if we are no longer delivering value then we are no longer billing you!

How does DCG help move you towards action?

Your frustration in dealing with the challenges of leading change in complex IT environments is understandable. Many organizations struggle to meet reasonable expectations or modify unreasonable expectations. We will help you:

  • To use evidence-based decision making to drive process improvement change initiatives that have high return on investment
  • To deliver value-rich solutions using strategies and tactics to visualize and achieve measurable benefits.

DCG’s Value Visualization FrameworkSM (VVF) identifies and prioritizes improvement initiatives guided by two key principles:

  • Improvement initiatives must deliver value that can be measured and visualized.
  • There is no silver bullet. The potential ROI of individual best practices or combinations of best practices must be defined in advance and monitored continuously throughout implementation.
