Unfuddle NZ will smooth out your process

Smooth out your process

What got you here, might not get you there. Are your teams not firing on all fours? Are the approaches you were using yesterday not working today? Are you biting off more than you can chew?
Unfuddle can help kick things up a gear, realign and tune your team for today’s challenges.

what we do

We’ve been round the block quite a few times in the past 20 years. During that time, we’ve helped dozens of companies nudge their teams in the right direction.

We help teams focus on what really matters – adding value, reducing toil and improving their engineering practices. Helping teams adopt modern approaches and frameworks such as Agile, Lean, Scrum and DevOps we are able to give your teams a new toolbox to work with.

What makes us different, when we work with teams, we work hands on. We challenge teams with their approaches in breaking down work, scoping requirements, estimating the complexity and effort of their work, improving delivery and identifying where they are stuck and not delivering value.

No matter where your teams are, we can help get them to the next level.

Sit and talk

We sit down side by side with your teams and talk through the current vision, challenges you feel you’re facing and what we can do to move things forward. To ensure that we have a full picture we will work with everyone in the team, gathering feedback and asking tough questions.

Roll up our sleeves

We’re in this together. We will work with you and your teams to come up with what works best for each team looking forward towards your vision and goals. We have workshops that we can run with your teams can do to help them understand Agile, Lean, Scrum and different ways to approach their day-to-day work.

Shine and reflect

We’ve worked hands on with your teams, let’s give them room to move and show you what they are capable of – they’ve got a new toolbox now! We normally move into a passive mode and periodically check in, if you’d rather we can stay on and provide guidance on incremental improvement.

It’s about thinking and working differently in today’s competitive environment. Think different.

how it works

Agile

Why wouldn’t you, maybe we’re bias?

For numbers people: the 13th Annual State of Agile Report saw a 71% increase on the uptake of Agile within companies in order to reduce project costs. Having an iterative approach to delivery changes how you look and respond to your work.

Unfuddle will implement practices that streamline your approach.

Scrum

Implementing Scrum techniques such as daily stand ups, sprint planning and retrospectives help communication and comprehension, process flows and the ability to manage changing priorities – all of which can have financial impacts on any business.

Unfuddle have trained dozens of Scrum Masters and Teams through hands on and collaborative workshops.

DevOps

It might feel like a buzzword but we’ve seen more teams that embrace Agile and Scrum end up moving towards DevOps practices without even knowing it. The 2019 State of DevOps has found there are five stages of DevOps evolution: Normalisation, Standardisation, Expansion, Automation and Self Service.

If you or you’re team are somewhere in side that and don’t know where to go Unfuddle can help direct you on your journey.

We find that people think Agile and Scrum are technology things, it has been found that while over 25% of the technology industry uses Agile methods, 19% come from a Financial Services, 10% from Professional Services, 8% from Insurance and 6% from Government.

Flexible

We realise that one size doesn’t fit all. Let’s figure out what works. If that means one month, one workshop or something more customised, we can make it happen.
