Cris Barnes (Solution Architect: Mobile and Shared Services Platform)

Thank you for all of the effort and attention you have put into this brief 6 month engagement.  We are far from a full Strategic / Cultural shift,  but I think we were successful in ‘resetting’ the expectation and understanding what is in entailed in Agile/Lean methodologies.  You brought a lot of visibility to how there are better more effective ways to do things.   I have personally gotten a lot out of this,  and I can see a path forward for us,  and having more people understanding the direction and the intent helps when I am trying to explain the benefits to be had with these concepts.

I know these things are never easy,  and I have the utmost respect for how you handle the pushback when trying to help companies with this stuff.   I hope our people weren’t too rough on you,  and I hope your next engagement goes just as good or better than this one.  I know I am personally encouraged to continue based on the progress made to this point.  I also appreciate the emotional support you have provided me personally through the ups and downs of this, because it is certainly a roller coaster.

I wish you well going forward,  and hope our paths will cross again in the future.
