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.

Our coaches were embedded onsite with MTN in Dubai to support their Group Procurement function with a full Agile transformation.
