Intelligent Swarming Practices Guide
Intelligent Swarming was, and continues to be, developed as a smarter way to align people and work. Born out of the high technology support and services industry, it has gained a lot of attention as the most efficient way to solve problems in ever-changing, complex environments. It challenges 30 years of accepted practice and structure in support. Adopters see improved skills development and utilization, greater speed and accuracy of resolutions, providing customer with a better experience.
Note: we use the same glossary of terms as the KCS v6 Practices Guide. In place of support agent or engineer, we use knowledge worker: "Anyone who does intellectual work as opposed to physical work. People who use data and information to make judgments and decisions and/or take action. Knowledge workers can play the role of responder or requestor."
