Capabilities

We recognize that Agile is about more than just technology and use frameworks like CALMR (Culture, Automation, Lean, Metrics, & Recovery) to assess DevSecOps readiness across an organization. Wilco Group also knows that Agile development methodologies are not “one size fits all” and that different elements may work better for some customers than others (Scrum, Kanban, etc.). We use available tools (Jira, Confluence, Slack, etc.) and appropriate frameworks (Scaled Agile) to facilitate critical collaboration between development teams and product owners such as sprint/release planning, backlog grooming, daily scrums, sprint reviews, wireframe reviews, retrospectives,  etc. We also track agile development metrics, monitor trends, and produce information radiator graphics/at-a-glance visual displays and dashboards. 

Wilco Group has a deep knowledge of System Engineering Life Cycle (SELC) processes, gates, and required documentation. Effectively navigating the SELC is critical to any successful IT implementation and SELC documentation is necessary to fulfill security requirements such as an Authorization to Operate (ATO). Wilco Group has experience with SELC gate preparation, facilitation and documentation as well as with requirements elicitation and traceability from functional requirements to user stories and test cases.

Effective planning and strategy require analysis of stakeholder needs, customer experiences, strategic goals, performance measures, lines-of-business, etc. We collaborate with customer PMs to understand nuances, analyze available data, develop roadmaps, and present options that will deliver incremental success on the way to larger milestones.

Wilco Group also understands the frameworks and guidance for Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) and portfolio management that has alignment between business, IT, and financial objectives.  Supporting these processes, in collaboration with Enterprise Architecture stakeholders, helps our customers ensure value across their program portfolios, maximize efficiencies through Technology Business Management (TBM), provide increased visibility, and improve their FITARA scorecards. 

In recent years, natural disasters have only increased in frequency, size, and impact.  In 2017 alone, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria left unimaginable devastation and unprecedented financial losses in their paths. Since Wilco Group has been supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) since 2010, we understand the different mission areas such as Preparedness, Mitigation, Response and Recovery - as well as the Grants Programs that support all the mission areas.
