Business valued features deployed every two weeks from first sprint using Scrum and Kanban	Our engineering organization has transitioned from quarterly releases into two weeks releases using Scrum and Kanban. We've switched from a complex, obscure, inefficient and difficult work Gantts into a highly visual Kanban board in which you can understand in seconds your projects status and even more important literally see our development process challenges. This builds a continuous improvement culture. The transition, or better say journey, from Waterfall to Agile has helped to surface all of our development deficiencies / improvement opportunities and with courage we handled those and we still continue todo so after five months / 10 sprints. Through the transition, from Sprint #1 until the present date, we've deployed on our production site new user stories with true business value to a very complex platform and also scaled up the R&D team significantly. In addition to the obvious benefits of the R&D improvements, our business can react much faster than before to market needs and to internal organization needs as our business continues to grow. I would like to thank the incredible highly professional team in AgileSparks and especially to our great Agile coach, Yuval Yeret, who coached, trained us and took us through this journey. Ben Peer, SVP Technology at FiftyOne (E4X)
Scrum implementation in Comverse Components LOP	We are very pleased with our implementation of Scrum methodology which was led by Yuval Yeret and the other able AgileSparks coaches who worked with us. Yuval Yeret and the Agile Sparks team understood our unique challenges and working environment and effectively addressed them. We began the implementation of Scrum within a Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity project, continued with some other projects and the benefits we achieved as result of the Scrum implementation in these project included: - Improved working relations between the teams - Significantly reduced the escalations and the need for crisis management - Shortened the project timetable in 20% - Improved the quality of the deliverables - Minimized the surprise elements in the project - Had ample time to deal with the risks - Following the successful results achieved within this project, we decided to adopt the Scrum methodology within many other project teams. Arie Vanunu Head of the Components & Core Engineering LoP Comverse
Great Kanban course	Elad Amit provided a course that was specifically designed and developed for the Infra team. The special characteristics that are distinguishing this team were challenging as they deal with On Going tedious support and many calls in queues which should adopt a unique agile nature. The course has been very fulfilling and the feedback was good from the team members. We liked the fact that Elad also serves as a coach to the PCI team before and after the course nurturing the teams with valuable advice and encouraging collaborations. Ofir Daniel, Amdocs Infra Program Manager
Interesting, fluent and effictive training	The Scrum basic course delivered by Elad Amit from AgileSparks was very effective and smoothly slides the participants into the ‘Agile' world and it implementation in amdocs. The instructor is very knowledgeable not only in the scope of the training but in the academic background and history. The Course is very interesting, fluently presented (even amusing at times:)).
