Why Assurity Agile Consulting

The Agile team at Assurity has been formed on 3 key principles; business outcomes matter most when delivering projects; putting people and teams first will produce better outcomes for your business; focusing people on higher quality delivery naturally means they become more productive.

We adhere to these principles through the delivery of Agile and Lean practices with a focus on quality which naturally fits within Assurity, the leading quality consultancy in NZ. Our belief that quality is owned by all members of project teams and not just the QA team allows agile to develop and grow at Assurity as a natural by-product of quality services.

The breadth and depth of services offered by our Agile team at Assurity makes us the #1 agile consultancy in New Zealand. What makes us unique is the range of specialists within our team and our full capability to deliver across your organisation. Our services range from strategy facilitation and agile governance at executive level, to coaching on development technical practices and agile testing within delivery teams... plus everything in between!

We don’t believe one size fits all and value pragmatic application of our skills and experience to provide a context based response to delivering your outcomes. We believe that teams can deliver amazing things when the system they operate in works in efficient ways.

Agile focuses on quality-driven delivery and open, transparent dialogue. Outcomes and benefits are delivered using cross-functioning, self-organising teams. This approach has irrevocably steered our team from using traditional, hierarchical methods over the last number of years.

While intuitively, the practice of breaking projects into manageable, less complex chunks of delivery makes sense, we know first-hand that teams struggle initially to adapt to this different way of delivering. This experience forms the basis for our approach to successfully introducing Agile into organisations, which is not just about training, but improving your adoption by coaching your team through the day-to-day activities to deliver a sustainable internal agile practice within your working environment.
