Paul Tevis Email & Phone Number

Paul Tevis is a Leadership and Executive Coach at Middlegame Partners. He possess expertise in game design, agile methodologies, software development, software engineering, scrum and 1 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Paul will help you and your team realize its full potential. Paul and I worked together for four years and he helped me to develop the human skills I needed to succeed as a technical leader. As an agile coach, Paul helped my team, and many others realize the benefits of crafting thin, vertical user stories through his facilitations of the Elephant Carpaccio exercise. That exercise has stuck with me, and many others since; so much so that I cringe whenever I hear stories of people working on multi-day stories that now seem trivial to split up. Another great example of Paul's work was a day-long Agile Retrospectives book club that he co-organized and co-facilitated. The multiple iterations of this book club empowered many team leaders to not only run their own productive retrospectives, but also be better participants in retrospectives they attend. What I miss most about Paul's departure from AppFolio is his seemingly innate ability to recall not only the author, or creator, of a process, but often also the book, or document, that it was described in. This skill of Paul's has saved me hours of time trying to recall some concept only through the vague recollection I have of it. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with Paul, and I think you would be too." and "Paul has been extremely effective in helping individuals, teams, and companies work in an effective manner. When we worked together, Paul helped our globally distributed team figure out how to stay in sync. The communication structure he facilitated helped foster a better working relationship across all teams. When a critical customer problem arose, the three groups involved were able swarm to the problem, each working on the issue and passing on the necessary communication and development work to the next team's work day. Our team was able to provide a solution to the customer within 24 hours. I would highly recommend Paul as a facilitator and coach. ~Carol"
