MTN

Our coaches were embedded onsite with MTN in Dubai to support their Group Procurement function with a full Agile transformation. Within 6 months, the function had multiple teams delivering business critical projects faster, more efficiently and with higher cross-company collaboration and visibility.

Sony

Members of our team introduced Scrum into a consumer application engineering team at Sony in the USA over 15 years ago. The team went from an environment with constant scope creep, missed deadlines and low team morale to a more efficient, value-driven and collaborative function.

Orange

The digital entertainment products & services team was responsible for designing, engineering and launching a range of consumer-facing apps. This process was transformed from a traditional Waterfall approach to Agile, resulting in faster response times and much closer collaboration between business functions.

Riyad Bank

At Riyad Bank, we helped to transform a digital product development and engineering team that was tasked with building the bank's consumer-facing Digital Wallet App. This app successfully launched as one of the first to market in the region and went from concept to go-live in less than 6 months
