I have had the pleasure of working with Quadrus and some of its staff as I and the Agile Alliance move the Agile movement forward. I have found them to be consistently well-informed, thoughtful, and skilful in applying Agile processes.

WHAT WE DO - Strategic Consulting & Advisory Services

Project & Program Management

Quadrus increases project success

by listening to your needs and work cooperatively with you to balance process with effectiveness and timeliness. Our mission is to help you get your projects done efficiently and to your satisfaction. We're experienced in:

proven best-practice life-cycle development processes
effective project management and program management tools
estimation methodologies
project portfolio sequencing and resource balancing
iterative/incremental development approaches.

We're also experts in formal processes and frameworks

such as the Rational Unified Process and Agile methods such as Scrum, XP and DSDM. Many of our members hold advanced certifications in these areas from the Project Management Institute and IBM Rational and are actively involved in organizations such as the Agile Alliance and APLN (Agile Project Leadership Network), both of which are also Quadrus partners. Being at the forefront of both traditional and agile methods, we can offer unbiased guidance towards best practice adoption that successfully combines both techniques.

Our program and project managers are practical, experienced professionals

who recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for all situations and that projects typically have a better chance of success if they are managed in harmony with your particular culture and environment.
