Utilize Your Current Approaches!
Walter can accommodate whatever delivery framework you have chosen such as SAFe, Scrum, eXtreme Programming (XP), Kanban, or a combination of frameworks. Walter even allows you to capture your own custom frameworks.
Walter is able to do this easily because common across each governance framework are six (6) common aspects; Teams, Roles, Metrics, Events (Meetings), Artifacts, and Concepts. By capturing governance in these aspects your organization can more quickly form a common language and rules to establish a more cohesive and effective operational approach for delivering large complex software solutions.
If your organization wants greater clarity for ownership, synchronization, and coordination please know that Walter incorporates the RACI technique (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed) within these aspects. Individuals are happy because they know what’s expected of them and leadership feels good because they get a sense of how everything is to operate.
Bottom line, Walter allows you to clearly describe how you work and provides insights on how you can do better.

Build From Popular Multi-Team Frameworks!
Today, it is all too common for organizations developing large complex solutions, to select a simply because they assume it’s necessary. In addition, most organizations still have leaders and managers who favor prescriptive processes rather than embracing the Agile-mindset to create a culture of learning.
