Helping A Client Achieve Awesomeness – Agile at Scale
Helping a client achieve a specific objective is exciting and rewarding. Knowing that you were instrumental in the agile transformation journey that provided coaching, training, and consulting to the SVPs, Directors, Managers, and product management and software development teams increases your confidence in the ability to help teams achieve their level of awesomeness. The focus is the journey from agile adoption to agile transformation.
