Knowledge and Skills
Lean Agile Coaching
Providing direction and guidance through Agile training material and workshops tailored to your organisation, we can help your workforce become more Agile focused. We can provide mentoring services to employees across the business on all things Agile as well as help facilitate and collaborate with a number of teams to improve ways of working, including UX, Design, Developers and QA resources to aid in creating high performing and motivated teams.
One of the key elements of Lean and Agile as a whole is to eliminate waste. We will observe your processes and identify potential areas to improve efficiency by removing any non value added activities and thus increasing customer value.
These are all crucial factors to help ensure your colleagues are happy, which can ultimately lead to successful projects and therefore satisfied customers.
Scrum Master
Similar to Agile coaching but more focused at a team level, applying the Agile principles and coaching the team to uphold the scrum values. This entails being a true servant leader, always readily available to the team whilst shielding them from distraction and helping them to remove any blockers or impediments which may be slowing them down.
We focus on tapping into the intrinsic motivation of colleagues and providing a psychologically safe environment for people to thrive, experiment and innovate whilst also adapting to the organisation’s particular ways of working.
Also providing strong stakeholder management and facilitation of all the relevant ceremonies (e.g. daily scrum, retrospectives, backlog refinement and sprint planning), whilst promoting a culture of continuous improvement to create high performing teams that have short lead time, sustainable quality, managed risks and regular delivery of customer value and business goals.
Delivery Management
Similar to Scrum mastery but with more of a strong focus on delivery, often working with cross functional, multi disciplined teams and ensuring that the team is happy, as happy people often produce great work! It also involves working closely with the product owner to support the delivery of value.
In addition to the aforementioned it entails; being the voice of the team, providing direction and guidance, being that bridge between the team and the stakeholders, providing timely updates and producing relevant metrics for a clear status on the current state of the project.
Our experience demonstrates the right balance of technical skills in order to understand the scope of what is being delivered but also having the management skills to not only lead the team but often line manage, mentor and perform tasks such as resource allocation and budget planning.
Having spent over 5 years in technology, I haven't met a Scrum Master who wholeheartedly deserve the title of coach as much as Tee. Both in demeanour and his non-intrusive style, Tee has a calming influence which gives a team a safe environment to operate in. Having worked with Tee in two separate organisations, I've seen each of his teams develop a unique personality that goes beyond a normal delivery team. Being a Scrum Master myself, I have learnt so much just by working alongside Tee and I'm sure others will too. To say Tee is an asset would be a gross understatement!Aminuddin Osmani (Contract Delivery Manager at Education & Skills Funding Agency [UK government])
I have worked with Tee over the past 9 months at TUI, he’s very approachable, a good communicator and easy going. He’s very knowledgeable and a great team player!Simanpreet Kaur (Scrum Master at TUI)
I have worked with Tee and have found him to be easy going and diligent. He absorbed information quickly and was able to motivate people. A real talent! I would love to work with Tee in the future.Geoff Aerstall (IT Security Manager at Tesco)
Tee and I studied together at Uni and I’ve known him ever since. He was a great team player and was always fantastic at leading group projects; a natural leader. He is a very hard worker, has tremendous charisma, is incredibly self-motivated and I think he would make a brilliant asset to any team. You’d be lucky to have him. Sadia Ali (Video & Content Producer)
I have known Tumpe during the past 2 years in my capacity as Database module tutor and as Final Year Project Supervisor. Tumpe is a delight to work with. He is polite, hardworking and motivated to do well in everything he sets out to do. His work is of a very high standard and I am happy to say we managed to publish his dissertation work in a conference paper CISIS 2014. I would like to wish Tumpe every success in his future career.Jagdev Bhogal (Senior fellow at Birmingham City University)
I worked with Tee at Connect Group and cannot recommend him enough. As a Scrum Master, he created a cohesive and fun team environment wherever he went and was always supportive, friendly and professional. He'd be an asset to any company.Zoe Paterson (Freelance Graphic Designer/QA & Automation Tester)
