Reliable, fast, and low risk

We pride ourselves on having been there, done that.  A Mariner consultant typically comes to a project with an average of 10 years of experience. Over the past decade, we have done hundreds of projects and have accumulated a great body of knowledge that allows us to have a very repeatable approach. This repeatability is what makes our work reliable. 

Agile with Scrum

Using an Agile approach, we provide incremental value during development while minimizing risk.  Our project plans are organized into tightly managed cycles that include customer feedback and room for adjustments within each cycle. Development cycles and weekly reviews reduce risk and keep everyone focused on the project goal. 

Project management best practices are constantly evolving and we strive to evolve with the best tools and techniques. However, our commitment to our customers is unwavering.  Our Customer Bill of Rights was adopted when we opened and is still followed today.

Lower Risk

Mariner has taken elements of Agile with Scrum and combined it with traditional risk transfer and change management techniques to create a custom delivery method that:

• Allows each deliverable to be assigned a fixed price - lowering your risk
• Allows un-started product backlog items to be re-prioritized without re-estimating.
• Simplifies change control processes
• Delivers value to end-users in weeks, not months
• Adds confidence to your sprint review and acceptance processes
• Reduces adoption risks

If you want to:

• Have the risk mitigation if a traditional project management approach
• Promote interactions and collaboration instead of detailed contracts and layers of approvals
• Focus on delivery instead of just following the original plan

then work with Mariner on your next Business Intelligence project.
