4 Steps to an Agile Transformation
- Understand: I will work to understand your needs and help you understand the time and commitment required to be successful
- Educate: I will create custom training and workshops for your organization in exchange for your commitment to learning and openness to new ideas.
- Execute: I will get my hands dirty in the trenches in exchange for you rolling up your sleeves andyou willingness to remain focused through difficulty and uncertainty.
- Reflect: I will help you see results and discover what is working, what is not working and how we can move forward together.
These 4 steps repeat themselves until you believe you are self-sustaining at which point my work is done. I will continue to provide ongoing support where necessary. For more information, read my post on 4 Steps to an Agile Transformation.
What I Can Help You With
Organizational Coaching: I see ‘Agile’ as the car that’ll get you to the destination. Success must start at the organizational level. I can help you uncover your vision and communicate it effectively to the rest of the organization. Organizations often focus on just getting Agile to work without considering the big picture, I’ll help you realize your vision and use Agile as the vehicle to execute on it.
Agile Coaching: Have a vision already and want to implement Agile? The best way to get started with Agile is to just get started! A coach is going to get you there quicker and more effectively. My goal is to give you all the information you can handle to make you a self-sustaining organization as quick and efficiently as possible. Contact me and we can chat about a plan that works for you.
Scrum Master-ing: Need a temporary Scrum Master to shadow the team or help developing Scrum Masters? I love getting my hands dirty with teams and will jump in and lead by example.
Training: Want some training or workshops to augment your current adoption or just want to see how Agile can help? From instructor lead presentations to really fun learning games, I can create a custom set of material for you.
Why Hire Me?
I love what I do and have been told that it shows! I can’t do all the work for you, you’ve got to step up to the plate and I’ll do everything within my skills to help you be successful.
Change is hard and very quickly you’re going to learn a great deal about your organization while implementing Agile and I’m not going to sugar-coat it. The key to success is to take this information and make better decisions based on it. You’ve hired me for my honesty, experience and expertise and that’s what you’ll get. If I can’t help you, I’ll tell you and help you find the person with the right skills.
I focus on success over following a methodology. There are lots of tools and methodologies that can help, success is what I’m after and I don’t worry about ‘breaking an Agile rule’ to get there. Business is hard. Software is hard and one size doesn’t fit all, your organization and people need to be empowered to get results and that’s what I love to do.
If you are serious about success, I can help. Contact me for more details or to setup a consultation.
