| This
assessment has as its goal the assessing the readiness of the client
organisation. Information gained during this stage is used to plan
the correct approach to evaluating MDA. The following sequence is
followed: |
 |
A
half day course explaining MDA goals and promises and how it proposes
to reach these. Both business and technical staff should attend this
course. |
|
| |
A
high-level review of the business drivers satisfied by introducing
MDA. These drivers are also put in context of the overall health of
the organisation. |
|
| |
Technical
direction and tools are briefly examined within the context of the
goals and promises of MDA. Which of these initiatives will be best
suited for the MDA evaluation? |
|
| |
Review
how the size, structure and infrastructure of the organisation should
dictate the adoption of an agile approach such as MDA. Who will be
the target MDA users? Which issues could hamper their participation? |
|
| |
|
|
| The
NT/e team will conclude by presenting a brief report to management
summarising the above organisational factors together with some recommendations.
The intention of this first stage is to set the scene for the next
part of the programme. |
