Reference: 

For the past 5 month of 2023 I have had the pleasure of having Maibritt support my team and our close collaboration with another business unit in our organization. I have really been amazed of how quickly Maibritt can establish a sense of shared purpose which removed disagreements that was creating obstacles for progress on shared assignments. Maibritt was asked to align her collaborative setup with the Agile SAFe Framework in order to prepare the team for an actual Agile transformation. Maibritt managed to do so to a very successful level where the entire backlog was establish and prioritized in Azure DevOps and in a very short time proved efficient and value adding for the business owner organization. As an added bonus Maibritt also helped my team more directly by facilitating us in a full day workshop around the topic of ‘Psychological safety’ which has resulted in way for us to reach a new level of Team intimacy and clearer actions for us to improved future Learning and collaboration.
