In a telecommunications operator with thousands of employees, I launched 6 teams and facilitated a structured set of meetings with executives to launch more teams and streamline their planning and execution processes. The framework of choice was the McKinsey version of the Spotify model with teams being Squads of Tribes and myself working mainly as the Agile Coach next to the Tribe Leader. Team morale surveys demonstrated that I had gained the trust of both team members and executives.

In 2019 I launched 6 agile teams between UK and Hong Kong in an organization of around 1500 people and since then I coach the teams, their Scrum Masters and the management team of these teams. I have multiple stakeholders from different budgeting schemes and we all eventually agreed that a common governance scheme is more efficient that the previous state. The change from previous state to current state has led to:1. these 6 agile teams being the highest performing teams in 2021 among 36 teams2. more informed decisions due to more transparency3. less handoffs between engineers4. less communication gaps between Product Managers and engineers, even though there always areas for improvement.
