Agile Process Teams connects people, processes, and information to orchestrate shared work and track the details of business processes by leveraging network tools for structured workflow, standards-based data definition, flexible team management, and contextual communications across all team members.
- Leverages a unique team-, and supply chain network-based, approach that spans across departments and companies to enable them to manage and track shared work.
- Enables a company to integrate its supply chain ecosystems in the form of digital teams so that they can execute on internal and cross-company processes.
- Provides those digital teams with the ability to execute shared workflows and exchange information together in a shared network application.
Using Agile Process Teams, companies can create high performance and flexible digital networks around their physical supply chains, developing new attributes that enable:
