Coaching testimonials:
“Kumar helped coach several teams at Caterpillar, including mine as we were beginning our Agile Development transition. The coaching provided was relevant, timely and very helpful. While you can learn agile by reading a book or just "doing it" , we found it very beneficial to have Kumar's help in navigating common pitfalls of teams and management as well as diagnosing specific team dysfunctions that could grow into bigger issues, if left unchecked.” John Parker - Project Team Lead
“I worked with Kumar for almost two years at Caterpillar. I was impressed with his ability to gain the trust of teams in difficult situations. Kumar is able to work at all levels within an organization to effect change while not being overbearing and directive. He is passionate about improving how teams work and also improving the value our enterprise is receiving from our agile adoption. Personally I benefitted from his experience and knowledge as he became a “coach of coaches”. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Kumar again.” Rick Vance - Agile Coach
“I have had the pleasure of working with Kumar over the last several years while implementing Agile. Unlike earlier attempts which involved a "train and go" approach, Kumar spent the time to first learn our current processes, understand the good and the bad, develop a plan to transition, and then work at implementation. Kumar's pragmatism, dedication, patience and willingness to integrate with the team during the transition were huge factors in our ability to start to reap the benefits of Agile. I highly recommend Kumar for any team working to learn and implement Agile.” Joe Lang - Engineering Manager
“If you are looking to deploy Agile in your organization you need Kumar. Not only does he understand the principles of Agile he understands how to make it work. There is a difference. I have worked with Kumar for over a year and I have found his style to be cooperative, engaging and professional. He understands the Agile development methodology and how to use it effectively. I heartily endorse Kumar.” Michael W. Ricciardelli II - Managing Agile Coach and Consultant
