Seven years - stepping into achieving this milestone at Endava, a tenure coinciding with the perceived luckiness of the number seven, it provokes a moment of thoughtful reflection. Embarking on this introspective journey, I take pause to recognize the significance of these years - not merely a passage of time, but a profound evolution in my professional journey. Throughout the roles I've undertaken in this period, being a TEAM Champion holds great significance.
TEAM at Endava
At the heart of Endava's ethos lies TEAM - The Endava Adaptive Model. More than an acronym, it is a guiding philosophy that shapes our approach to delivery. TEAM is not just a framework; it's a mindset, a collaboration that underscores our commitment to excellence. It provides a structured yet flexible foundation, allowing us to tailor our practices to the unique demands of each project.
Freedom within structure, embracing authenticity - TEAM is a framework that empowers us with the freedom to decide on the best practices for our unique circumstances. This flexibility ensures authenticity within the team, allowing us to tailor our approaches based on the specific needs of our projects. It's about striking a balance between structure and creativity, fostering an environment where innovation thrives.
This freedom within structure is established and driven from TEAM’s key pillars instrumental in recognizing the importance of establishing realistic expectations and foreseeing and detecting potential challenges in project delivery:
TEAM empowers efficient adjustments to changes, ensuring our efforts contribute not only to project success but also to overall business objectives.
For me, as a business analyst in Endava, TEAM is more than a framework; it shapes my approach how I provide the required value. Collaborating with the team, we convert our collective efforts into tangible business value for projects. It brings visibility to my day-to-day activities, emphasizing managing stakeholders' expectations, delivering the most value at the given moment, and proactively addressing risks and issues.

Now, on the other side of the coin, my engagement as TEAM Champion presents both unique opportunities and challenges. It is truly an honor to hold this role, as it goes beyond the typical responsibilities. As a TEAM Champion, there's a profound sense of responsibility to drive the adoption of TEAM in Skopje, supporting projects and teams in implementing solutions derived from TEAM as a framework. This role provides a unique opportunity to delve into the specifics of the challenges projects are facing, offering a valuable learning experience that goes beyond the conventional scope. Learning from these challenges not only enriches my professional growth but also enhances the effectiveness of TEAM integration throughout the organization.
Beyond Endava's recognized technical expertise, I believe it's crucial to streamline the process of aligning capabilities with goals, effectively manage change through continuous refinement and planning, and ensure the timely identification of dependencies. This demands significant cognitive effort, supported by seamless coordination and communication across multiple teams.
Using TEAM, we can address all these topics, by providing crucial guidance, emphasizing the importance of defined engineering practices. Their value not only reinforces but also strengthens the foundation necessary for successful project outcomes.
More than a model
In conclusion, these years at Endava have been a remarkable journey of growth, and TEAM has been the compass guiding me through the ever-evolving landscape of projects.
It's not just a model; it's a philosophy that fosters collaboration, creativity, and excellence. As I look back on the path traversed, I am grateful for the structure and freedom TEAM has provided, making the journey not only productive but enjoyable.
Here's to many years ahead of more growth, teamwork, and success!
