Ronin Global

We closed Ronin Global's tech gap, improving project delivery and aligning with business goals, solidifying our partnership.

Overview

Ronin Global, a marketing agency lacking a stable tech team, faced persistent delays and misalignment between business expectations and project delivery from dedicated tech and freelance resources. Ajackus stepped in to manage their tech team, bridging the gap and evolving into their trusted tech partner over time.

Problem

Disparate Work Paces

The tech team exhibited varying work speeds, leading to inconsistencies in project progress and delivery timelines. This discrepancy created a sense of disjointed efforts, hindering effective collaboration and coordination among team members. Addressing this challenge required aligning the team’s working pace to ensure synchronized efforts and timely project completion.

Lack of Unified Project Management

The absence of a cohesive project management framework resulted in inefficiencies in tracking project progress and aligning activities with business objectives. Without standardized processes for project planning, execution, and monitoring, there was a lack of clarity regarding project priorities, timelines, and resource allocation.

Establishing a unified project management approach was essential to streamline workflows, improve communication, and ensure that project outcomes align with the organization’s strategic goals.

Establishing Process for Project Delivery

The absence of standardized processes for project delivery contributed to delays and inconsistencies in meeting project requirements and client expectations. Without defined procedures for task assignment, progress tracking, and quality assurance, projects often faced challenges in meeting deadlines and delivering desired outcomes.

Developing streamlined processes for project delivery was crucial to enhance efficiency, mitigate risks, and ensure consistent delivery of high-quality solutions that meet both business and client needs.

Solution

Restructuring Roles and Responsibilities:

The transformation from a waterfall model to agile required redefining roles within business and tech teams. This involved assigning product owners, scrum masters, and establishing clear communication channels.

Implementing Agile Practices

The adoption of agile methodologies necessitated the implementation of agile practices such as sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives. This facilitated iterative development and improved responsiveness to changing requirements.

Unified System for Knowledge Sharing

A unified system was established to ensure comprehensive understanding and collaboration among tech teams to address limited tech knowledge. This involved sharing expertise and fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development.

Building a Diverse and Knowledgeable Team

Creating a cohesive team with expertise across various domains ensured a well-rounded skill set within the tech team. The team became equipped to tackle diverse challenges and deliver high-quality solutions by fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.
