Examples of consulting assistance

Aety provides many different types of consulting assistance within the Atlassian area. Depending on your organizational needs, we can offer consulting assistance within 2 main areas:

Solution- and platform-specific consulting assistance

Solution-specific consulting assistance

IT Service Management

With Jira Service Management and associated Atlassian products, our consultants can help you implement a fully ITIL-certified solution with integrated CMDB.

Work management

Our consultants can help you deploy Jira and Confluence to support effective collaboration and task management in most non-IT areas, such as HR, Finance, Legal, Production and Marketing.

DevOps / Agile software teams

Our consultants can help you combine Atlassian products to give your development and operations teams a unified platform for collaboration, as well as support you in the process from the first code commit to final software support.

SAFe / Project and Portfolio Management

Using Atlassian products, especially Jira and Confluence, our consultants can help you set up a solution for managing deliverables in a SAFe set-up. If you work with a hybrid module, where you have both agile software teams and projects run according to a traditional model, we can support this with Jira, Confluence and the product BigPicture.

Do you need solution-specific consulting assistance?

Platform-specific consulting assistance

Pilot projects

If you need to see and test an Atlassian solution first to assess whether it's the right solution for you, we can start by creating a customized pilot project.

Training

We offer Atlassian specific courses in collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute. Here you can choose general courses and company-specific courses.

Migrating to the cloud

If you have an Atlassian server or data center but want to migrate to the cloud, we can manage your migration journey. We offer a free initial migration workshop to assess your maturity level.

Setup and installation

We can help you with installation and initial setup, whether your preferred hosting is cloud or data center.

Audits

If you already use Atlassian products, we are ready to be your sparring partner. Working with public and private clients ranging in both size and industry, our consultants have built up expertise that we are happy to share with you. We can help you by giving your installation a health check at both application and infrastructure level.

GAP analysis

We've helped a wide range of organizations assess their general maturity around collaboration in the organization, but also in their specific use of the Atlassian platform. What they all have in common is that a report is always prepared with concrete actions to improve the current situation.

Types of aety consultants

At aety, our consultants are generally divided into 3 categories:

Change & Transformation

Business consultants with knowledge of ITIL, SAFe, Prince 2 or other relevant process frameworks and relevant Atlassian products. These consultants are responsible for the configuration of the platform. They typically have administrator skills on the Atlassian products and can assist with the creation of requirement specifications and/or user stories through interactive sessions. This consultant profile will typically be your primary point of contact.

Operations

Technical consultants with deep insight into platform setup and integration to e.g. AD. Can assist with more technical and operational challenges on Jira, Confluence and applications from Atlassian Marketplace. The consultants can set up, configure and automate server operations, as well as configure the products using scripting and other development.

Development

Consultants who are well versed in Atlassian's API and app development. They help our customers develop complex integrations, maintain aetys own applications on Atlassian Marketplace and assist the other two consultant profiles with particularly complex tasks.

How our consultants work

Aety offers several different models when it comes to consulting assistance within the Atlassian area.

Needs assessment

Whether we are planning a migration or implementing Jira Service Management, we always start by making sure we are 100% clear on the needs you want to support.

Delivery

Now the delivery begins. The delivery is done through phases where our consultants will continuously seek clarification from the right stakeholders in your organization. See here for a typical implementation process.

The change

We help you develop your employees' skills so that they are ready to use the new solution. At the same time, we are ready to accommodate change requests and provide ongoing support when the solution is in operation.

At aety we can offer you the format that suits you best, examples of engagements can be seen below:

Fixed allocation

We have experience of having one or more permanent consultants assigned to a customer over a period of time to help with everything from project implementation to day-to-day support - you decide how to spend your time!

Project allocation

We also offer to have one or more consultants assigned to a specific deliverable that we jointly ensure will reach the goal.

Support

We also have a support department ready for you to contact them whenever you need assistance.

Example of a typical implementation process at aety

As a starting point, we operate with SCRUM (and associated ceremonies) as a method, which is of course adapted to the specific context. Aety operates on a principle of transparency and welcomes the future administrators to participate in the actual implementation to the extent they find relevant.

We usually recommend sprints of approximately 2 weeks duration. Each sprint has an overall purpose with a number of specific sprint goals defined. At the start of the project, a product backlog is created, which contains all relevant tasks according to the requirements or user story documentation.

Each sprint is initiated with the customer, where we go through the purpose and content of the sprint. After this, aetys’ consulting team works on the defined scope, where a designated Product Owner from the customer can be contacted regularly for clarifying questions.

Every day there is a 10-minute daily meeting where any obstacles and planned activities are reviewed. It is optional whether the client attends this meeting, but aety’s recommendation is a minimum attendance of 2-3 times a week.

At the end of the sprint, a demo session is held where the outcome of the sprint is presented to the client.

If needed, aety can provide a project manager who will ensure the delivery goes according to plan.
