Background

A Washington DC based non-profit in the financial services sector was struggling with fragmented workflows, unclear priorities, and a lack of structure across its technology and operations teams. While the organization had talented staff, they lacked a unified framework to plan, execute, and measure progress effectively.

Challenge

The IT teams worked reactively, with no defined sprint cadence or clarity around ownership.

Projects often stalled mid-cycle due to shifting priorities, missed handoffs, and limited visibility into outcomes. Without clear sprint objectives or team roles, the organization found it difficult to translate strategic goals into consistent delivery.

Solution

I introduced a custom Agile Transformation program designed to bring structure, clarity, and accountability to their delivery process. Through a series of collaborative coaching sessions and hands-on workshops, we:

  • Implemented core Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives
  • Defined clear team roles and responsibilities to eliminate confusion and overlap
  • Established measurable sprint objectives to track progress and drive accountability
  • Built an operational framework that connected day-to-day work to broader organizational goals
Results
  • Improved focus and accountability: Teams aligned around clear sprint goals and ownership
  • Faster, more predictable delivery: Operational structure enabled measurable progress each sprint
  • Enhanced collaboration: Cross-functional communication improved between technical and business teams
  • Sustained agility: The organization continues to operate with a consistent Agile rhythm, driving transparency and measurable outcomes

Modern Database Work Shouldn't Be This Hard

After years of supporting enterprise-scale databases, I saw talented teams stuck fighting the same battles - slow deployments, manual scripts, and a constant struggle to align database work with agile delivery.

So I built a service model that makes database management simpler, faster, and smarter - combining automation, training, and agile coaching into one powerful solution.
