Software is never done.

Your team has to anticipate customer needs in a volatile market...but they need to do it in a way that is both smart and scalable. That doesn’t mean adding more and more people to the team. It means building cross functional teams that have the confidence in their direction, scope, and structure.

Trainers were very knowledgeable and provided awesome feedback to everyone's questions and scenarios. This was an amazing bootcamp and helped me learn how to get my team more active and involved.

| Product Owner

Sketch dug in early and asked a lot of good questions to understand our current organization. Each one seemed to be up to speed and didn't need a lot of catching up from us to get engaged quickly and provide value to all of us. It was a delight working with Sketch and I'm going to miss talking with them multiple times a week.

| SVP, Engineering

At the end of the training, even some of our most skeptical team members were more accepting of the new concepts than anticipated. This was a huge win for our organization!

| Supervisor, Applications Development AECI

Our coaches were amazing to work with. They contributed by providing coaching lessons to better our transformation within our organization. They are not prescriptive in their teaching, rather giving us examples and outcomes of the decisions we make but ultimately, we have the decision to do what's best for us. Overall, they are joy to work with!

| Product Owner

Really appreciated this project with Sketch! Both our coaches approached a prickly situation with empathy and an open mind and it went a long way for us. We are already seeing positive changes on the squad and are better aligned for success.
