Alex Bould

Mentor, Instructor and Advisor

Alex specializes in working with high tech companies in the 500MM-5B+ revenue range with 50-500 teams of hardware and software developers running Agile. As an Agile Transformation Leader and Enterprise Agile Coach he is reliable for causing alignment and creating and fostering a culture of accountability and partnership between Company Leaders, Product Owners and Development Teams. Teams begin to know themselves as reliable for producing what they say they will produce by when they said they would produce it, and in the process discover what it takes to bring accurate thinking to estimation and execution especially when dealing with uncertainty, complexity and dependency. Product Owners discover a new level of leadership for themselves as they take on operating in a context of partnership with teams that are willing to be accountable for producing what they say they will produce by when they said they would produce it. Company Leaders discover what is required of them to create the kind of environment that allows for accountability, partnership and product leadership to thrive. As results, this shows up in reduced time to market (or time to product/market fit for emerging products) allowing Developers, Product Owners, Company Leaders and their Customers to benefit from the promise of Agile being fulfilled.
