Why you're in good hands with 3P Vantage

You won’t need to look for additional coaches/trainers. You get full service from us on all dimensions: teams, leadership, technical, planning, product, and strategy. We train teams and managers, coach them in real-life application, and accompany them from day one. We have the respect and ears of developers, executives, and business people alike.

 

You won’t hear us parroting stock solutions. We’re not a generic consultancy, ScrumMasters for hire, a Big Name on the Agile bandwagon, or a purveyor of certifications. Helping you rock Agile is what we do. Everyone we assign to your engagement is a continuous learner and active contributor to the Agile community. Gil Broza, for example, has been a three-time track chair at the most important annual conference on Agile.

 

We are pragmatic. We don’t assign coaches who never give you answers, consultants who’ll fight to have Scrum or SAFe, or anyone who thinks there can be “best practices” in an Agile context. We want you to succeed with a form of Agile that works for you.

 

We’ll tailor our style to the situation. Chances are, your people will respond best to a mix of “done by you” (facilitation), “done for you” (consulting), and “done with you” (coaching). So we’ll work accordingly.

 

Even your toughest challenges won’t faze us, be they requirements, programming, culture or people.

 

Your teams will keep delivering during the adoption/change period. Clearly, work doesn’t stop, and your obligations still stand as the teams learn better ways. Our strategies and approaches integrate into your reality.

 

Our clients have consistently shipped working products on time, boosted their productivity, teamwork, and engagement, and are not looking back. Would you like to partner with us and enjoy the same results?

Our promise to you

We are professional, experienced, consistent, flexible and reliable.

 

We are responsive in our interactions and responsible in our actions.

 

We will get results respectfully and collaboratively.

 

We will maximize your investment’s value by minimizing the risk and the time-frame to a successful, self-sufficient Agile implementation.

 

If you ever feel we’ve fallen short of these promises, tell us and we’ll fix things.

Our approach to Agility

We put people first, product second, and process third.

 

We know that proper Agile requires both mindset and behaviours, and you must adopt both simultaneously and gradually. That’s hard, and we’ll support you.

 

We see the value in standard approaches, but we’ll recommend them only if they truly fit your situation.

 

We’re intentionally unaffiliated with the big players in the Agile world, so we can give you what you need, not necessarily what’s popular or certifiable.

Our clients

Here is a partial list of recent clients that have found our services valuable:

  • Gil did a fantastic job teaching "Pragmatic Scrum". Many participants commented on how much better it was than training which they had received previously, both in substance and in the way Gil delivered it. They came away energized and enthusiastic about applying their learning.

    - Eli Juni

  • Gil’s workshops were engaging and thought-provoking, and the follow-on coaching sessions provided teams with thoughtful, pragmatic advice that they could begin acting on immediately. This feels like a turning point for us on our journey to being Agile.

  • In our short consulting session, Gil demonstrated a real talent in understanding people, their motivation and needs, giving valuable feedback and recommendations.
