What Clients Say

Agile approach coaching, structured planning and a good sense of humour, that is what Charles brought to our team. We worked together with Charles and other HS2 colleagues on a number of sprints. Charles helped us out during the sprint planning days, the sprint itself and also for the review and retrospective meetings. With the help of Charles we were able to commit to a feasible planning and to have a clear picture of our goals. Charles has the ability to ask the right questions which made us think through the outcomes, planning and the definitions of done. We have enjoyed working with Charles, not only for his knowledge, but also for bringing positive energy to the team.
