The situation

A mid-sized infrastructure org at a well-known tech company was struggling to “do agile” in any meaningful way.

The team, part of a broader Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) function, supported multiple internal platforms used across the company.

Everyone had a different version of agile. Some teams had quietly opted out. A few were experimenting with ad hoc flows, claiming they were faster without the “ceremony.” There were more Slack threads than sprint updates, more uncertainty than ownership. We were brought in to help—but not to enforce a new framework. First, we listened. What we found was revealing: the agile process hadn’t failed because it was too rigid—it failed because it wasn’t understood.

 

The team had been handed templates and rituals without context. No one knew why the process existed or how it was supposed to help.

What we set in motion

This wasn’t a process overhaul—it was agile coaching, done right. We focused on building trust, clarity, and shared understanding across the org.

Key results

⚡️ Less meeting, more momentum
We slashed ritual bloat and trimmed planning overhead—cutting meeting time by 30% without losing clarity or flow.

🔮 Smarter estimates, more reliable delivery
With better agile fluency came sharper forecasts—teams improved their sprint predictability, and leads finally had timelines they could stand behind.
