Make Agile Work Well

Are your Agile ways of working causing frustration and friction? Imagine tweaking your approach to agility — bringing a bit of flow, improved outcomes, and even joy. Less theater, more behaviors that make sense.

My Approach

Fixing Agility — With Agility

Over a decade of helping teams level up

I've been helping organizations level up their agility for over 10 years. Each context is unique — fixing your agility is context-specific and can take multiple forms.

Each context is different

Typical results include improved ability to deliver and innovate, reduced time to market, decreased delivery risk, simplified processes, fewer frustrations, and faster time to value.

Iterative and co-created

I approach fixing agile with agility — working iteratively, co-creating tweaks and interventions with the people involved, and using evidence to guide next steps.

Building internal leadership capability

Regardless of form, the overall goal is to build a leadership capability in your organization — responsible for the continued learning and evolution of your way of working.

Engagement Forms

What Fixing Your Agility Looks Like

Strategic discovery workshop

A workshop with leaders to explore current state and context, options, and align on high-level fixes — creating a shared view of what needs to change.

Principles-focused training

High-quality training to reinforce missing or weak agile concepts — getting back to the principles behind the practices.

Capability/Maturity Assessment

Assessing current capabilities and co-creating a set of recommendations with a group of interested champions.

Flow and Kanban reinforcement

Using Flow/Kanban to reinforce lean/agile principles and move away from mechanical agile — making the work visible and improving it.

Hands-on team coaching

Working directly with specific teams, groups, and leaders to build the right practices and reinforce principles in context.
