A multi-faceted approach: Each BHM Consulting engagement morphed and adapted to the needs of the particular company and teams within that company.
The types of work done included: educating teams in the basics of good development practices and Scrum and Agile processes, coaching, mentoring and training teams to be both more nimble and more rigorous, leadership training, Meyers Briggs management training workshops, enhancing team meeting management and communication skills, proposing more effective organizations, requirements/user story breakdown & story mapping workshops, portfolio and release management, and other related work to aid teams in being more predictable in delivering software and more effective in achieving company goals.
Each engagement was structured to fit the company needs and ranges from an one day introduction to Agile/Scrum training session, a 3-D management training workshop, to a longer term engagement, mentoring and hands on with the team.
In order to evaluate the needs of an organization, Beth met first with the appropriate management team to scope out what their needs are and then recommend a course of action. On longer engagements, periodic checkpoints were held with the stakeholders to review progress and determine next steps.
The format of the engagements was a mix of training sessions, presentations, 1-1’s, and teamwork. Usually the minimum is a short training session to bring all players up to the same level of understanding. Beth supplied unique templates and white papers, where needed, for additional understanding. Most often the engagement is on-site with the teams, however, a mix of on-site and off-site work was also used where effective.
