EmbArrk™ is a structured yet flexible framework which helps organisations to rapidly scope an IT development project or program and brings focus and direction to any new digital initiative. Ideal for projects where no hard specification exists and run as a workshop, EmbArrk™ is held at a location preferable to the customer and can cover a period of one to four weeks, depending on size and complexity.
Run by highly skilled and experienced Arrk Group employees, the aim of any EmbArrk™ session is to generate a shared understanding of the project vision in an engaging, innovative, iterative and interactive manner. By utilising a flexible framework, all EmbArrk™ engagements are unique to the organisation and project.
The EmbArrk™ Way
Customer stakeholders and Arrk Group team participate in consensual project scoping sessions, this close collaboration results in looking in detail at project management, technical analysis, product analysis and business analysis.
While all EmbArrk™ engagements are unique to that organisation and project, we bring a tried and trusted methodology which is split into the following four sections.
