We offer two levels of custom solutions to help you push your business forward. Our staff will work with your organization through conception, design, development, deployment and user training on the new software.

Put Your People First

In the years I’ve been transforming organizations, a few requests get me worked up like a two-year old who skipped a nap.  Two of these are, “The right process will solve our people issues” and “The right tool will solve our people and process issues.” While I agree, processes and tools are important, people are […]

Stabilize The Patient First

Most organizations we’ve worked with had a large chunk of the […]

Experimentation Means it’s OK to Fail

Experimentation is the key to learning and continuous learning is the core of Agile and iterative methods.  A wise man once told me that we know the least about our product and the optimum process to build that product when we first start.

This ScrumMaster schedules, plans and runs the meetings, including the Daily Scrum.    His job is to make sure all the […]
