Benefits of this approach

The institutionalization of this organizational approach, compared with the previous phase of improvement, shows evident benefits that could be summarized as follows:

• project managers and development staff are in turn fully involved in the selection and definition of processes, methodologies and tools, assuring the contribution of the practical point of view in this kind of activities;
• the systematic approach to the changes to be introduced in the company facilitates the activities and allows to reuse the matured experience;
• the natural resistance to the changes by the projects members, used to perform the activities in a traditional way, is minimized, due to the extended involvement in the decisional process;
• the information connected to each improvement phase is diffused in a short time;
• a communication point is established also for the sharing of best practices matured within a single project, with evident benefit for the overall company.
