Fortune 100 corporation leverages on-demand enterprise agile training
This enterprise knew they could use some agile consulting, but scheduling was a nightmare. On-demand training capabilities helped them get what they needed.

A healthcare technology company focused on processing their members’ claims recognized the need for several training courses for their teams. Their teams consisted of various agile roles, including Release Train Engineers (RTEs), Product Managers/Owners, and Scrum Masters. With packed calendars and tight delivery timelines, they were struggling to coordinate any sort of formal training.
Lack of availability

They recognized they were in need of role-based training with deep-dive, topic-centric workshops, as well as fundamental training for the whole team.

Enter Sketch
On-demand agile consulting and training

Collectively, this blended cohort did all of the following:

- Uncovered knowledge and understanding gaps
- Coordinated opportunities and workshops via a Kanban board to facilitate collaboration
- Identified the appropriate attendees for each training
- Coordinated the date and time for each deliverable
- Identified the appropriate Sketch facilitator for each training topic
- Conducted retrospectives with the attendees following each completed session
- Provided comprehensive visibility to leaders and coaches across the enterprise

Successful SAFe implementation
Improved team dynamics
Over the course of one year, team-wide agile fundamentals were delivered to several teams, resulting in a shared vocabulary and understanding. In some cases, this training served as a reboot for atrophied skills. In other cases, attendees were exposed to foundational tools and techniques for the first time. The attendees developed tighter bonds through a shared mindset. The improved collaboration took the energy and excitement from the training back to their daily workflows.
Scalable agile methodologies
For RTEs, a cohort was formed following the SAFe RTE training they received so they could continue the conversation that started in their role-specific session. Scrum Masters took their learnings and introduced new structures and facilitation approaches to their existing community of practice (CoP) that had gradually become stale.
Deliver software faster
Possibly the most valuable outcome that came from this on-demand approach was Sketch’s ability to deliver brief, focused workshops with very short notice. As challenges surfaced relating to specific topics (including story writing, estimation, planning, and prioritization), Sketch was able to quickly schedule a brief deep-dive workshop targeting the respective topic, often in less than a week. This ensured near real-time realignment and minimized friction across the team, enabling them to continue to deliver quickly.
