Are we building the thing right?

You'll create a dashboard to understand the technical practices and milestones that every modern software product team needs, to consistently deliver “value” to their users and keep up with the pace of change. "Can our team choose its own course toward technical excellence?"

Are we delivering with agility?

You'll create a dashboard to help your teams take ownership of their Agile adventure and hold them accountable. Drive your Agile Events with clarity.

Are we "Agile" yet?

        Steve is a great instructor. Steve taught many classes within Thales to spread Agile knowledge and skills throughout the company. Not only did I learn a great deal about Agile from Steve, I also learned new and effective techniques for conducting training in general.
