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.

Situation

Looking for flexible agile training

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.

Challenge

Lack of availability

case study challenge

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.

The availability of these training attendees could not be confirmed more than a month in advance. Therefore, Sketch proposed an “on-demand” approach to the training delivery.

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
This helped the team achieve alignment, improve organization-wide visibility, and establish better ways of working.
And they didn't have to disrupt their day-to-day operations.

Results

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.
