Agile technology provider Excella has been awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to deliver Agile coaching to the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for deployment of next generation web-based applications.

Spanning over five years, the Services for Enabling Agile Delivery (SEAD) BPA carries a total maximum value of $300m.

Excella will provide coaching on its Agile solutions across DHS and its units.

Excella partner Dave Neumann said: “This award will drive DHS’ adoption of Agile principles and practices to further modernise its digital strategy. Our industry-recognised Agile thought leaders create powerful solutions for federal agencies, and are excited to partner with DHS leaders to create transformative applications that uphold the agency’s charge to keep the homeland secure.”

The company’s team will provide enterprise, technical, and process coaching services to boost agility.

Excella’s Agile Coaches will also incorporate a non-prescriptive method to its coaching style besides drawing on their expertise using Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), LeSS (Large Scale Scrum), Scrum@Scale, as well as DevOps and DevSecOps, to provide customised solutions.

Excella’s Agile Coaches have been offered to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), US Census Bureau, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG).
