Speaking at Agile Events

Advice for anyone who is interested in public speaking: maintain you speaking history the same way as a university professors maintain their bibliography. It is not just useful when you do conference submissions or think about your professional progression. It is interesting to look back and think about the evolution of your professional interests and your contribution to the community of knowledge. So it seems the time has come to share mine:

Agile Coaching and Support

The goal of this web site is to provide support to Agile professionals, from advanced enterprise-level Agile Coaches to the members of Agile teams who are starting their Agile journey.

Feel free to share your questions and suggest topics - our goal is to support the community! From complex organizational rollout questions to the team level challenges, we will be glad to discuss your unique situation and share our consulting experience.

​We will post your questions without any identifiable information on our web site and share our opinion, and ask others to comment. Hopefully, this advice will give you an opportunity to build a better organization and a great community!

Implementation Frameworks

Agile and Lean are more a set of values than anything else. Many Agile Coaches start their engagements with processes and tools, and we breathe Agile and Lean values, and everything else comes next.

Having this said, we offer frameworks, templates, principles of setting your own repeatable processes that you may use to achieve delivery excellence in software and beyond.

We can help you validate your own implementation, or assess organizational readiness, or define how to hire the right people for the complex task that you have. Our frameworks and templates help you and your teams succeed in a most complex environment if you are passionate about Agile values and committed to success. Good luck!
