Agile transformation is a journey that requires alignment across all altitudes of an organization.

Hard Yards takes a mixed agile arts approach to transformation. We blend various disciplines to work in our customer’s context (Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, DevSecOps, Design Thinking/HCD, etc.) We loosely couple design thinking (Human-Centered Design - HCD) with Agile development to ensure our clients are not just building things fast… we aspire to deliver the right thing and encourage the measurement of outcomes to validate the process. We train, mentor, and coach on the full spectrum of transformation from team practices and ceremonies to culture and organizational design. We partner with our clients to create organic capacity. We aspire to have long-term partnerships without a large staffing commitment. Train-the-trainer and accelerator programs help to achieve that end.

Our proprietary Accelerators prove time and again their effectiveness by enabling Agile transformation at scale. They create a one-to-many relationship with the coach and a repeatable way to train the trainer.


Hard Yards offers the following products to you and your organization: SCRUM MASTER ACCELERATOR and PRODUCT OWNER ACCELERATOR. The Accelerators break the external coach dependency model with a scalable solution where the cohorts of Scrum Masters and Product Owners learn and apply all the skills necessary to become more effective in their role. It is a cohort-based, distributed learning experience centered around your actual day-to-day work.
