Coaching (Agile, Kanban & Lean)

Whether you use a Balanced Scorecard with KPIs or align your goals using OKRs, we can facilitate sessions to ensure your team stays focused. An experienced and neutral facilitator is essential to structuring conversations and gaining consensus.

Typical Format: We start with an assessment of your current state, followed by a design for your future state that includes defining your key metrics, and we facilitate sessions with various groups in your organization to align their work to impact your goals positively. This coaching is often delivered in tandem with Portfolio Kanban.

Having clearly defined work is one of the most essential parts of delivering outstanding results. We can help design the ideal intake process to ensure you set yourself and/or your team up for success when receiving new work.

Typical Format: We start with an assessment of your current state, followed by a design for your future state, and we facilitate a few sessions with your team to ensure that the process is working efficiently.

This concept, introduced in Agile software development, captures work in a lightweight format with clear acceptance criteria. The goal is not to answer everything upfront but instead tell a story that can generate healthy conversations by the people responsible for delivering this work. These conversations help confirm the way to measure success.

Typical Format: We start with assessing your current backlog of work. We ensure that work follows an ideal way to visualize and break down the work into stories with acceptance criteria, and we facilitate at least 2 story writing sessions. Depending on your needs, we can continue to run these sessions or ensure that someone from your team learns to become a great facilitator.
