AGILE EXPERT AND ENTERPRISE COACH
ONSTAR
2013-08 - 2014-02
BRANCH Automotive manufacturing ASSIGNMENT Andrew was brought in on this assignment to help clarify a chaotic and time-driven environment with our team of Agile Coaches that were already on-site with the customer. OnStar's Project Portfolio Management was distributed among multiple groups with no single end-to-end view from which the leadership could make decisions. He cooperated with the Executives to produce the Portfolio Roadmap needed to enable Agile at the team level, including helping the leadership see how much of the roadmap could be completed with the team members and resources that were available for each program and project.
Andrew's collaborative style and leadership communication skills enabled him to gain agreement from all key stakeholders up and down the organization and with each other. New channels had to be created to be able to make it possible to carry out assignments in an agile manner.
TOOLS/TECHNIQUES The key tool used by Andrew was from the Unified Vision Framework (UVF) was the walk-about workshop (in very slow motion using an iterative development of the "big picture" during a five-week iteration). The walk-about workshop is collaborating with key stakeholders to develop a unified view of the portfolios, programs, and projects underway and whether the organization has the resources to carry out the plans at all levels. Used the Unified Vision Framework (UVF) as the primary tool to do the Agile Portfolio set-up.
RESULTS AND VALUE-ADD He created the first Portfolio view across all 19 platforms (first time client had that view). Our coaches could reduce the time to gather requirements by 75%. Enterprise Agile coaching for Executive team members involved in the transformation from a legacy Waterfall environment to an Agile culture.

NATURE PUBL. GROUP
2011-01 - 2013-08
BRANCH Publisher of Nature Magazine (the number one scientific journal) and over 100 other Science, Technology and Medicine Journals as well as Scientific American (motsvarar Vetenskapens Värld) ASSIGNMENT Nature originally had a PMO, but the person leading it got promoted and no one was selected to backfill the role. After a couple of years of not having a PMO, the pain level reached the point where the CTO and COO decided that they needed to rebuild the function. At the same time, they wanted to have the organization go through a Waterfall to Agile transformation. Andrew was brought in to recreate the Portfolio and PMO management for Nature and to implement the waterfall to agile transformation, including the enterprise governance for the transition.
TOOLS/TECHNIQUES Cultural change management and the vision for change are usually underestimated by a factor of 10 and Andrew communicated to the CTO and COO that the roadmap for the transformation would be five to seven years, under normal circumstances. However, by using the UVF as the primary tool to do the Agile Portfolio and PMO set-up Andrew could compress five years of work into 2.5 years.
RESULTS AND VALUE-ADD Over 250 team members were trained, coached, and mentored by Andrew in NPG Agile (created by the Portfolio Manager) resulting in an over 100% increase in project completion velocity in less than 2.5 years.
In the beginning of 2011, the project completion velocity was 60 medium-sized projects per year. As of

July 2013, the project completion velocity was 124 medium-sized projects per year without increasing the size of the teams. This is particularly significant since this was achieved while taking the organization through a Waterfall to Agile transformation.
Over 150 projects (out of 250 total) in the project portfolio were eliminated, saving the company millions of dollars of investment cost avoidance. $25+ million annual budget P&L support and project reporting for the CTO/Board. Cost avoidance for 2013 was $25 million and $10 million for 2012 (total RESULTS for this around $35 million).

"One of Andrew's strengths is in organizational development. He helped create a powerful way for us to do program management in an agile fashion that has changed the way we manage projects from the board level down to the project level it has been amazi ng to watch how the language has changed at almost every level in the organization while (Andrew) has helped us lead this transition.
Where we are now as compared to a couple of years ago is an improvement and we are clearly on the right path moving toward Agile. He is also a thought leader in the Agile Community of Practice and has been active in Agile NYC, PMI NYC, and NY Spin to build bridges among the various project management communities and is a good ambassador for Agile/Scrum.
As the teams come up the learning curve, he is sensitive to the issues that arise and works in a collaborative manner with the ATG members and the teams to reach agreement and uses NPG Agile as the tool to reach a unified vision. Because of his consulting background he is able to step back and take an external view on what's best for NPG without necessarily getting caught-up in internal politics." GREG K.
CEO/Executive Director - worked with Greg back in 2010 "Andrew and his brother Ted just did a training for our executive staff. It was the best investment all year for our organization! The principles they teach are very practical, useful and will be easy to implement. Expert, Good Value, Creative they did a superb job of conveying the critical issues of Project Management. You'll get serious take-aways to use immediately in your field of service. Just 24 hours after this event we began implementing parts of their materials that will make us more focused and efficient. Whatever your industry, their coaching style will add great value to your goals!"
