In close collaboration with JAM-IT, an innovative solution has been developed: the 'AANPAK' app (meaning: approach-app), an integrated tool for portfolio and capacity management, applicable not only to HLT but potentially relevant to various sectors. The 'AANPAK' app promises to provide valuable insights into work processes, ultimately leading to more efficient planning, greater transparency towards management, citizens, and other stakeholders, and reduced work pressure for employees.
Business Need: In close collaboration with JAM-IT, an innovative solution has been developed: the 'AANPAK' app (meaning: approach-app), an integrated tool for portfolio and capacity management, applicable not only to HLT but potentially relevant to various sectors. The 'AANPAK' app promises to provide valuable insights into work processes, ultimately leading to more efficient planning, greater transparency towards management, citizens, and other stakeholders, and reduced work pressure for employees.
Solution: Lucas Kuijpers from Bureau van Aanpak teamed up with HLTsamen to streamline internal processes, creating the 'APPROACH' method and partnering with JAM-IT for app development. Harco from HLTsamen, with extensive IT experience, stressed the need for a comprehensive system due to high work pressure. Using the scrum methodology, JAM-IT translated concepts into functional modules. Initial performance issues were resolved by optimizing database queries and caching.
Results: Significant progress has been made on the 'AANPAK' application, though it is not yet fully complete. The core of HLT's operations now relies on the implemented planning and task modules, providing a robust foundation. By integrating complex functionalities and custom Java actions, the app addresses diverse planning and task requirements for organizations. We are continuing to develop additional features, including time registration and project management.
