About us

The Company

We are a consulting company that helps clients get the most from their investment in information systems. We assist and mentor our clients with all types of product owner issues, including planning, project management, chartering, reviewing and modeling business processes and information flows, and aligning information systems development with business objectives.

Our Approach

When we work with clients we aim to assist and mentor, rather than swoop in with a fixed methodology. We look to strengthen what works well and, by asking good questions, help find ways to overcome weaknesses. We help clients improve, not replace wholesale, processes that are already in place.

Agile Scrum Half

While Product Owner is a well-accepted role name in Agile -- and we frequently use it -- we have tightened the definition of what we mean when we use it. As we often work with Scrum teams, we've borrowed from their metaphor. The Scrum Half is the player that puts the ball into and receives the ball from the scrum. We think that image describes well the role we have in mind.
