CONSULTING
FINAL STEPS TO SUCCESS
Hands-On Consulting
The Ouellette Group team has well over 25 years of project-lead and team-based experience. This hands-on, real-life experience is what takes our clients from the classroom knowledge to the practical and pragmatic application of practices.
Often after a training has occurred, participants question, “How do we do this on our project?” Our consulting offering serves as a bridge from the classroom experience to a rational, practical, realistic application of principles, practices, and tools.
Getting a strong start is critically important for those new to agile. Agile approaches encourage a new mindset, new practices, new tools, and in fact, a new way of working.
Long-Term Clarity on Focus and Purpose
The consulting engagement may involve team emersion, one-on-one pairing, or periodic check-ins, facilitation, and coaching – depending on the goals, objectives, and needs. Though the consulting is typically short-term, the individual and team’s ability to implement new approaches and tools is long-lasting.
The consulting dimension of the practice can enable clarity of purpose, focus, and milestones, to ensure immediate application of principles, practices, and tools, and enable a journey of continuous improvement.
