Excerpt from the interview:

"We were teaching people how to communicate in a more agile way, and to collaborate effectively. We made sure the code was well-tested, and that everything was documented so we didn’t lose important information.

It was more about team shaping and making sure that the work was flowing in a proper way. Of course, there were technical challenges as well, but those were manageable.

Since then, the company has grown immensely. We worked with them for a long time, but we’ve stepped away, and they’re thriving.

For us, this is success. They took the lessons to heart, they understood our philosophy, and they continue to build on it."
