Performance Measurement

DCG’s clients benefit in improving IT processes through low impact change initiatives that adds measurable value. Our clients leverage DCG’s worldwide leadership in sizing, measurement and benchmarking.  Our passionate focus on measuring performance using real metrics across the IT process domain supports your evidence-driven decision-making 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, story points, use cases, lean, agile development, cosmic, or homegrown approaches.

Our IT consultants deliver value, 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.
