Consulting and Training

Project Delivery

When you hire me for Project Delivery, I take ownership of your project. From concept to implementation, I will take your strategic vision and make it a reality. This level of engagement requires a deep commitment to success from the client organization. While I will work within the boundaries of your organization’s processes, if your organization is new to iterative and/or Agile software development it, it is probable that the organization will go through some level of change.

Project Recovery

Does this sound like your project?

Your stakeholders (customers, senior leadership, development team, etc) are unhappy
You are consistently delivering the wrong thing (or maybe nothing at all)
When you do deliver software, the quality is poor
The project was only supposed to take one year, but is now going into its second or third year or more

When you hire me for Project Recovery, your project has started, but is struggling. I take ownership of the project and take time to understand where you are and where you want to be. Then, I work with your teams to bring about the best possible project outcome. Like Project Delivery services, this level of engagement requires a deep commitment to success from the client organization. Additionally, Project Recovery services often (but not always) require moderate to major changes in the way the project is currently operating. This means that organizational processes and/or personnel changes may be required. Rest assured that any major changes will not occur without consultation with the client.

Agile Coaching

When you hire me for Agile Coaching, you retain ownership for project delivery. I may be involved throughout the entire project or I may only take part at certain times during the project lifecycle. Agile Coaching is more strategic in nature (think of a military extraction team). Maybe your team has trouble estimating stories or understanding the importance of their roles on an Agile project or holding retrospectives. Whatever the case, I integrate with your team to help where needed, while your project leadership remains in control of project execution and delivery.

Training

When you hire me for Training, I deliver class room training for your project teams. The added benefit for you is that I come to you. I can even arrange the venue if your organization doesn’t have suitable class room space in house.

The courses currently offered are as follows:
