About Michelle Mueller
Team Coach
Michelle gets her inspiration from helping teams to connect, learn and grow.
She will tell you that we're surrounded by intelligent, caring people. All they need are tools and time to meet their potential, and she is excited to share with and learn from them all.
When she isn’t helping teams, you will find her adventuring with her RPG groups, being pummeled with Nerf guns by her two sons or filling her home with the aroma of fresh baked goods.
Who We Are
We believe everyone deserves to be fulfilled and engaged at work. We work with organizations (generally those who develop software) to build great products that delight their customers and are made by engaged and happy teams.
How do we do this? We meet our customers where they are. Lots of organizations strive for that vision above, but many have trouble getting there. It’s not about doing a “by the book” agile implementation - that often results in people checking boxes and not embracing the mindset of agile. Instead, we work with our clients to understand what outcomes they’re trying to achieve and use a variety of tools to help them reach those. Agile and Scrum are some of the tools in our toolbox, but we draw on lots more, like:
The 3 Things That Need to Balance
Continuous learning
What was your experience when you tried to adopt Agile? What about the second time? Or the third?
We know what it’s like.
Time and time again you’re told Agile is the answer. You see the results it brings to other businesses, but it never quite delivers.
Our approach is to work with where you are, having fun along the way to make it count and get the results you deserve.
