Introduction

Capgemini has lots of potential people, who are sometimes on bench.

The working hours of the employees between clients can be effectively utilized.

Capgemini has come up with the idea “Spare Time Product development”.

This aims at utilizing the potential of employees idling on bench to develop products as well as in educating them about new technologies.

Jigsaw puzzle analogy

The product under development using this “Spare Time Product Development” can be considered as Jigsaw puzzle.

The pieces of Jigsaw are the task to be done to complete the puzzle.

Creation of tasks for the product underdevelopment.

To facilitate the development of product under the constraint that people are not fixed, the product is broken into tasks(which can be carried out independently).

To manage the information transfer.

The information here it means status of the project.

Existing Approaches

In Capgemini, currently few projects are working on core and cloud team model.

Capgemini’s Agile platform. It is Capgemini’s agile software development platform. People on bench get a chance to learn and upgrade tools used in developing

products. It uses dashboard to track the project progress online.

Shortcomings Lots of verbal communication.
