Customer Testimonials
| What a great trainer! | Danko personally trained our product, development and testing teams in the Scrum methodology, and then assimilated it. He consulted on how to handle conflicts with developers and managers that found the transition challenging, and created a fun and productive work atmosphere Itay Brickner, VP R&D Kontera |
| Improvement was made! | Our developers were very much impressed by Danko's skills as an instructor. His teaching style and the material itself made it very easy for him to convince us that Scrum can significantly improve the way we work and the results we produce David Ben Ner, Israel Development Center, Haifa |
| A real challenge to the comfort zone! | Thanks for the inspiring course. It was EXTREMELY successful. Beyond your knowledge and know how, the main point raised that was your own personality, directed us and inspired us to try and challenge our own comfort zone. I guess I realize now why you have chosen this as your slogan. -- NDS |
| CSM course |
Moving to Scrum was made easier after this course. If you're considering Scrum, there is no place better to start than here. After just two days, the transformation actually looks doable and much less daunting.
-- Amir Harush, Director R&D and QA at Aladdin

| We are progressing dramatically | Just wanted to stop for a second and thank you for the work that you’re doing. I know that a lot is messy and that sometime it seems that we are running in all directions, but all of us feel that we are progressing dramatically these days. ... Please know that I really appreciate the professional work you’re doing. --Sivan Porat, Muzicall |
| People delivered what they committed to! | Rachel, This is the SCRUM board as it looked this morning, a day before the iteration ends. A picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case, it is to say my personal thanks for your tips and advice. The picture proves we managed to do more and, most importantly, people delivered what they committed on. Many thanks, Yaron, NDS |
| ECtel says: It’s fun, it’s efficient, and it works! | ECtel decided to use Scrum to improve its development. After intensive research, learning from other companies, it was clear to us that for increasing the probability of success we need an escort from experts. From searching the market it was clear AgileSparks is the most experienced company in training and accompanying such a process. Working with Danko was productive and fun from day one. Since Scrum implementation requires changing the mindset of the entire company, exposing it in the right way and harnessing people's support is crucial, and Danko did a great job at all levels of the company. Now after a number of sprints, the change is dramatic. From individuals working by themselves, we see great communication between teams and between the engineers themselves. The level of commitment from the employees has increased significantly. The progresses of tasks or the difficulties encountered are presented clearly and in real time for all stakeholders to see. Cooperation and involvement from Marketing is a huge benefit for all sides. I can summarize: It's fun, it's efficient, and it works! A lot of this is credited to AgileSparks, whose contribution was very pleasant, non intrusive and at the highest professional standards. I have no hesitations in recommending AgileSparks' services to any company considering Scrum or Agile.

| University of Sofia Bulgaria | ...As expected seeing the sparks in the eyes of the students at the end of the lecture - we have very high score 4,84 (1-5 scale) - highest ever! (and that is counting the many 10 and 6+ scores as 5 :))... |
| Orbotech - Clear added value |
We initiated a Scrum Pilot in one of our product lines. After 4 month of implementation we see clear added value in most of our success criteria. This product group will continue independently with Scrum while we look forward to enhance the implementation throughout the corporate. AgileSparks role in this pilot was critical. The mind set and their continuous support enabled this initial transition.

| Dramatic Improvement | We chose Scrum in order to improve internal customer integration and satisfaction, raise release quality. We chose Agilesparks to be our guides. We chose an aggressive cross-unit pilot, and the bottom line is that the communication and collaboration improved dramatically. We moved from escalation mode where the interaction is at the managers level to a collaboration mode where the actual working engineers work together in Scrum Teams solving problems and showing working software every few weeks. We are managing project risks much more effectively, and have much better visibility as to the real progress of the release.
Based on the success of this pilot and our belief that Agile is required to succeed in our competitive environment, We are now considering how to extend Lean/Agile adoption. |
