I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel as myself and colleagues from my company’s leadership team took the multiple day SAFE course back in November 2017. Daniel not only made the material very engaging but in addition was extremely personable and connected with everyone enrolled in the SAFE course. My colleagues enjoyed the experience and asked Daniel to be our agile coach for 2018 and part of 2019 as we embarked on our Agile Scrum journey which included training of both technical and business teams many of whom had never been exposed to Agile at all. What I appreciated the most about working with Daniel is that he’s not afraid to provide the straight answers in a polite, respectful but direct manner, even if unpopular with team members progressing along the agile transition. I attribute much of our success in our Agile transition to Daniel as his positive support and ability to tailor methods by business and technical function helped to accelerate our progress where we experienced positive results within the first 6 months such as shorter release cycles, actionable requirements and greater collaboration between the business and engineering teams.
