Agile Development made simple by 3Back & ProjectLocker

learning to implement and use many of the tool sets currently available is an exhaustive and expensive effort that

can smother a simple and effective development process.

Organizations that are focused on the tools and process,

not the product, experience a drain of vital energy. By the

time the organization has sufficiently developed the skills

and technical solutions for product development, months

or years of opportunity are lost.

With increased pressure to innovate and produce new

products, the last things today’s companies need are

overly complex product development environments and

processes. Those organizations that focus on creative

product development build higher quality products that

“wow” customers.

Douglas Shimp, 3Back partner and senior consultant

explains “What is needed to bring back a product focus is

a combination of simple tools that unfetter the mind

along with a simple process that gets the job done.”

3Back and ProjectLocker offer a unique blend of Scrum

training with hosted open source development tools.

3Back offers both onsite and public agile training and

coaching in Scrum, Lean and Crystal in staged

development environments supported by ProjectLocker’s

hosted open source tools that are easily customized to

support all three methodologies. ProjectLocker is simple,

flexible, and immediately available, dramatically

reducing or even eliminating installation time, along with

the heavy lifting of tool support & maintenance. In

addition, teams trained with ProjectLocker tools by

3Back can directly apply those same best practices in

their own ProjectLocker accounts with identical

configurations to their training forums. Together, 3Back

and ProjectLocker bring an effective blend of tools and

processes together that enable rapid product innovation.
