We Provide Customized Production Frameworks

We build customized development frameworks for each project's unique characteristics: project development phases, production gates, release milestones + required deliverables, checklists, and acceptance criteria.

We Build Your

"Ways-of-Working"

Each project's production methods are tailored for opportunities & challenges: release roadmaps, delivery plans, feature lists, product backlog, definitions-of-done, first-party compliance, risks & mitigations.

We Tailor Team-Level Production Processes

Team-level processes drive the project to its goals: organization & structure, capacity tracking, sprints & retrospectives, user story decomposition, software review calendars, task estimation, tracking & reporting, onboarding & training.

We Provide Hands-On Project Management Workshops, Training & Support

Phase Forward Solutions provides training, support, and hands-on project management: running workshops, sprint plannings, work-breakdown structures, user story mapping, release planning roadmaps, feature list compilations, definitions-of-done, & more.

Our Services

Empowering Your Interactive Media Projects

Our Approach

We collaborate with you to understand your vision, business aspirations and current challenges to assess and implement production methodologies to help you meet your objectives.

• Discuss and map out your business goals, constraints, timelines, targets, and KPIs for success.

• Collaborate with your stakeholders and teams to analyze the current production processes, tools, team structures, risks & issues; categorize what’s working, what’s not, and formulate a prioritized list of action items.

• Work with leadership and team members to propose a tailored production framework for success, including the high-level aspects (phases & gates production roadmap + milestone acceptance criteria) to the low-level processes (backlog, definitions-of-done, levels-of-completion, task distribution & tracking, reporting) to team re-org (feature teams vs strike teams vs service teams), and anything in between.

• Support where needed: run workshops, facilitate planning sessions, and provide training curriculums to help with process improvements and integration.

Our Production Framework

• Every project goes through Production Phases; we confirm yours, and their expectations & deliverables.

  • Research & Exploration, Conceptual Development, Pre-Production, Production, Finaling, Live Operations

• We focus on 3 critical swim-lanes of activities: PEOPLE, PRODUCT, PROCESS.

  • Every project must properly address all 3 to be successful

• We establish your Production Gates per Phase.

  • Tailored Requirements & Acceptance Criteria to ensure your project is on track
