Working with software developers and organizations to help realize the potential of software product development

Scott helped our successful software development team become more successful. He showed our team how greater productivity is achieved through software design, and challenged them to see the potential productivity pitfalls and communications barriers. He worked with our team, teaching our people to use behavior-driven development and test-driven design to improve our code, productivity, and communications. He helped our testers improve their ability to automate testing and become a more integral part of our product development process. Through Scott's network we connected with people who would continue to help us improve and who would ultimately join the VersionOne team. Scott challenged us to go further than we'd come, and these challenges pay off.

Scott worked with our team for two years, and in that time our development organization fundamentally transformed. We were a culture of individuals working in closed offices on disconnected projects. Now we're an integrated product development group working together in a collaborative environment, using more effective ways of software design and development. I continue to learn from Scott in conversations about product design through a professional relationship that goes well beyond the work he did for us, and I continue to benefit from his insight and the community of professionals that he brings together for innovative events and exchanges. Scott came to our organization to introduce some contemporary software development techniques and left us on a whole new path pursuing new markets in new ways.
