A well-functioning team is a mix of science, art, and juggling. One of my favorite projects is helping agile software teams improve. Maybe it's implementing a new process to do ticket tracking, or it's coaching scrum masters or developers on Agile.
01. Agile Consulting
I help teams implement and improve in their practice of Agile. I work with teams around the world (from the U.S. all the way to Nepal) as an agile consultant. For some scrum teams I directly run scrum on their projects helping lighten the load. Agencies often hire me to teach them agile project management using JIRA or ClickUp or on their own tool. See the "Recent Wins" below and how I the WP Creative team to improve their backlog management.
02. Jira & ClickUp Implementation
I work closely with both JIRA and ClickUp, but can help your team get on the right tool and set up a structure that works for you.

Scaling Teams
Agile consulting can mean a million things to a million different people (though there likely isn’t a million people who know about Agile). Nonetheless, it’s important to clarify terms and outline specifically what we offer. When we talk about “Agile” we’re referring to a project management system based on iterative releases instead of long winded projects. Years of freelance experience has shown that it’s important to launch an MVP sooner than you think you should. It helps protect budget, forces us to break down features (and thus define them), and reduces risk.
In our engagements with agencies and product teams a big part of what we do is assess what’s working, what isn’t working, and how we can use Agile principles to fix the issues. We focus on building a culture that has habituated Agile methodologies versus implementing a million different process changes that are poorly adopted. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to Agile or have been working as an Agile team for years.
White Label Project Management
Beyond Agile consulting we also work directly with scrum teams to manage products and / or build out existing teams. This could include everything from defining requirements, conducting Agile ceremonies, working with clients and managing budgets. Put another way, we provide white label project and product management services.

I successfully integrated AutoQuotes with Netsuite, which provided access to 100,000+ SKUs, which otherwise would not have been available. The frontend was redesigned to optimize user experience and navigation through hundreds of product categories. Finally, I updated native Netsuite fields with a custom configuration to allow us to offload data to Dropbox.
