“Every system is perfectly designed to get the result that it does.”
“We want to tackle hard problems with the organizations that are ready to do the hard yards of transforming the way they work.” - Mark Pushinsky
Digital disruption is upending industries with new technologies and business models. The case for digital transformation is real. Our capability is industry agnostic. Healthcare, financial services, insurance, and the federal government all recognize the requirement to change.
Agile Transformations require a big commitment from an organization. Our team takes a comprehensive approach to ensure that you get the business outcomes you need. We combine expert, immersive training, practical coaching support at all levels, and ongoing support to ensure the transformation continues to produce the desired results.
Our Coaches and Trainers have decades of Product Development experience. We follow Product Development best practices in executing an engagement and embed these same practices in the organizations we work with. The best products are built with a continuous, integrated feedback loop.
Capability Maturity Model
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.
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.
