Central success factors for IT projects include the choice and implementation of a process model that is precisely aligned to the project environment, the project content as well as the needs of the stakeholders and thus allows efficient and effective project handling.
The conventional V-model XT is frequently associated with a "waterfall" process, in which a strict sequence of phases is observed. Away from public administration, agile process models such as Scrum or combinations of conventional and agile processes have become established. They enable flexible management of requirements and already supply the first results in early phases of the project.
In public administration, too, demand for agile methods is rapidly growing, without wishing to depart from V-model XT. We have therefore further developed V-model XT in order to make it more lightweight and agile in comparison to phase-oriented methods. It enables us to handle projects which demand a high degree of flexibility successfully, cost-effectively and in a manner tailored to customer's specific requirements, whilst at the same time retaining the tried and tested framework of V-model XT.
The combination of V-model XT with an agile process model, such as Scrum, offers many advantages:
- Use of a well-defined and proven standard for development projects in the shape of V-model XT
- Greater flexibility for projects with a dynamic environment through modern, agile processes
- Targeted investment in features with the greatest benefit
- Optimal basis for the scaling of larger projects into several subsystems and subprojects
We always have the right solution for project handling in the V-model XT environment. Based on your individual requirements, we make a joint decision with you which process model – conventional or agile V-model XT – is most suitable for your project.

Our management methods are specifically tailored to the requirements of public administration, for example the Method handbook V Model XT, developed in cooperation with TÜViT or the S-O-S Method© , developed by the Federal Office of Administration. They include:
- Conventional project management
- Management of large projects
- Program and multiproject management
- Organization of project management offices (PMO)
- Scrum and Kanban
We also perform coaching and consultancy tasks, the setup and staffing of PMOs, as well as individual roles in V-model XT such as project leader or project manager in concrete projects.
