Helpful Stories

I’ve taken a few challenges and written up how I collaborated with exceptional people over the years to find simple solutions that can be briefly described and adopted by anyone. Hopefully you will find the solutions my teammates and I arrived at to be helpful in addressing your own challenges.

Have you ever needed to...

• Ramp a team up quickly on all aspects of a client’s development and operations

• Enable a product team to self-manage its feature and story refinement process effectively and transparently

• Create clear, shared understanding of parallel development streams and overlapping releases from a shared codebase across multiple development teams?

More to come?

In these pages I’ve described some challenging situations and how I worked with some open and agile teams to arrive at a solution.

Have you faced other challenges forming and coordinating a multiple team effort? Have you had experiences keeping a large team on the same page for architectural definition, development methodology, technical approaches, and detailed design? Maybe you’ve even had to to balance the need to report status in a way that satisfies waterfall-trained executives while the teams live and breath agile?

Please feel free to contact me if you are facing similar challenges and have found an interesting solution or would like to hear about other things I’ve seen work in the past.
