Do we need to restructure the whole company?

No — and we'd push back if you tried. We start with one squad and one outcome. Once that team is predictable, the pattern spreads laterally. Top-down transformations are the failure mode we exist to avoid.

What if our engineering practices aren't ready?

We bring engineering hygiene as part of the rollout — branching, CI/CD, environments, Definition of Done. Sprints without these collapse, so we don't run sprints without them.

Who does the coach hand off to?

Two roles you'll pick during the assessment — a working Scrum Master inside the team and a Product Owner who owns the backlog. We spend the last two weeks shadowing them so the cadence survives the coach leaving.

What if the first sprint is rough?

Expected. Sprint 1 always wobbles — the team is learning the cadence. The ramp curve looks the same on almost every adoption: noisy sprint 1, stabilising sprint 2, predictable sprint 3.

Can you scale this to multiple squads?

Yes, but sequentially. We don't believe in big-bang transformations. One squad gets to predictable sprint cadence, then the second squad onboards using that team as the reference. We've scaled this to 20+ squads over 12-18 months.

Agile — First Time

Going agile for the first time, without the pain.

A 90-day, coach-led adoption that takes your team from waterfall to working sprints — with the metrics, hygiene and engineering practices that make it stick.

Let’s Discuss See projects

90 days
Start to predictable cadence, not start to start.
One squad at a time
No top-down transformation. Pattern spreads laterally.
Flow metrics from sprint 1
Lead time, throughput, predictability — measured, not estimated.
Planned coach exit
Vendor lock-in is a failure mode. Day one we plan the handoff.

Why this is different

Start where you are. Move in three sprints.

Most first-time agile rollouts fail because they try to change everything at once. We do the opposite — start with one team, one pilot sprint, one outcome. A coach embeds for six weeks, runs every ceremony with the team, hands the rituals to internal champions, then exits. Inside 90 days you'll have a working agile cadence, real flow metrics and an internal team that can teach the next squad.

One squad, one outcome. No big-bang transformation.
Coach embedded for six weeks — runs every ceremony.
Flow metrics tracked from sprint one.
Coach exits in 90 days. No vendor lock-in.

Let’s Discuss

First-time agile journey — five stages over 90 days: Assess, Bootcamp, Pilot Sprint, Stabilize, Handoff

Capabilities

First-time agile playbook

Six workstreams that turn waterfall habits into a sprint cadence that holds — and an exit plan from day one.

Readiness Assessment

Audit team, work, dependencies and risk. Pick the right squad and the right pilot scope.

Embedded Coach (6 weeks)

Senior agile coach runs every ceremony with the team — standups, planning, review, retro.

Engineering Hygiene

Trunk-based branching, CI, environments and a Definition of Done that actually holds.

Flow Metrics From Day 1

Lead time, throughput and predictability dashboards tracked from sprint 1.

Backlog Hygiene

Outcome-shaped stories, INVEST-grade slicing and a roadmap people can defend.

Exit Plan, Day One

Coach hands off to internal champions in 90 days. No vendor lock-in, no permanent crutch.

Three-sprint outcome ramp — noisy sprint 1, stabilising sprint 2, predictable sprint 3

Sprint cadence

What the first three sprints actually look like.

Every first-time adoption follows the same curve. Sprint 1 wobbles — the team is learning the cadence. Sprint 2 stabilises. Sprint 3 becomes a trustable velocity. We’ve seen this shape on every rollout for the last seven years, and we plan around it from day one.

S1
Noisy first sprint
Ceremonies feel new. Stories run over. Expected — and built into the plan.
S2
Flow stabilises
Plans hit. Story slicing tightens. Definition of Done holds.
S3
Trustable velocity
Predictable cadence. Real metrics. Coach starts the planned exit.

The 90-day rollout

Five stages from waterfall to working sprints

Each stage has explicit deliverables, owners and a clean exit criterion. No stage starts until the previous one is done — the discipline is the program.

01ASSESS
Readiness assessment
Audit the team, the work and the risks. Pick the right squad and the right pilot.
02BOOTCAMP
Ceremonies + tools
Standups, planning, review, retro — drilled in a 2-week bootcamp with a coach.
03PILOT SPRINT
One real outcome
Two-week sprint shipping one real, measurable outcome end-to-end.
04STABILIZE
Two more sprints
Tighten flow, metrics, Definition of Done. Build the muscle.
05HANDOFF
Coach exits
Internal Scrum Master + PO own the rhythm. Coach moves to on-call.
