  Jan 2013 - Jan 2014

  Rådgiver og facilitator for teams og ledere (konsulent)

  Jeg arbejdede som rådgiver, team-coach og "Scrum Master" for to specialiserede teams. Et af disse udviklede sig i perioden over 10 måneder fra at være det mindst agil-modne team i virksomheden (objektivt målt) til teamet der havde den højeste agile modenhed. Det afspejlede sig tydeligt i teamdynamikken og produktiviteten.I en periode på tre måneder arbejdede jeg derudover hos virksomhedens svenske afdeling i Växjö, for at introducere både medarbejdere og ledelsen til Scrum og den agile måde at tilgå arbejdet på.”Brian is a very skilled consultant who managed to influence and improve the Agile practices in Bluegarden. His toolbox is enormous, he’s a master in facilitation, and I can only give him the best of recommendations.”– Niels Colding, Manager. Show less
