Case Studies & Testimonials
What working with Myke actually produces.
70% fewer defects
FORTUNE 500 · AI/ML DIVISION · DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION & DELIVERY VELOCITY
CHALLENGE:
A struggling data science team couldn't deliver consistent, defect-free releases. Estimates fluctuated wildly, morale was low, and leadership faced mounting pressure to deliver on roadmap promises.
INTERVENTION:
A radical pause: the "1-Story Sprint." The team focused exclusively on completing a single user story to perfection over a two-week sprint — forcing cross-team communication, deep requirements understanding, and shared accountability. By mastering one story together, the team created a template for all future work.
RESULTS:
Delivered 5 stories during the "1-story sprint" once pressure was removed. Established predictable velocity, reduced defects by 70% across subsequent sprints, and earned a companywide Q4 excellence award for delivery.
The right kind of slowdown creates speed. The 1-Story Sprint unlocked clarity, consistency, and confidence — the foundation for every reliable delivery system.
850% release growth
GLOBAL MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURER · AGILE LEADERSHIP & DELIVERY TRANSFORMATION
CHALLENGE:
After a major merger, two business units were forced to operate as one product team: cultural friction, missed releases, low morale. Three previous consultants had failed. The $5M surgical portal — critical to thousands of surgical teams worldwide — had stalled at version 3.0.0.
INTERVENTION:
Treat it as a people-first challenge and a technical delivery problem second. A blameless delivery culture, onsite international workshops, and the organization's first "Agile Track" within the PMO — blending manufacturing discipline with modern release flexibility.
RESULTS:
Two conflicting cultures unified into one delivery team. Growth from v3.0.0 to v5.1.3 with 15+ scheduled releases. An 850% increase in release frequency in under 18 months, with a replicable release system adopted by the wider enterprise.
When requirements clarity, psychological safety, and release cadence align, fragmented teams become high-velocity organizations.
Alignment restored
ENTERPRISE ANALYTICS & AI TEAM · AGILE COACHING & CROSS-FUNCTIONAL DELIVERY
CHALLENGE:
Delivery was collapsing under misalignment. Engineers blamed product owners for unclear requirements; QA blamed engineering for defects; leadership blamed everyone for missed projections. The organization didn't need another process — it needed clarity, communication, and ownership.
INTERVENTION:
Lightweight alignment frameworks: shared success criteria, delivery readiness gates that set expectations early rather than enforcing them late, and coaching on communication patterns that foster accountability without micromanagement. Sprint reviews became feedback engines; planning became commitment sessions rather than guessing contests.
RESULTS:
Trust restored between product, engineering, and QA. Improved roadmap accuracy, increased release cadence and product quality, higher morale — fewer meetings, better outcomes — and a clear, measurable view of delivery health for leadership.
True velocity isn't speed — it's alignment that leads to predictability.
The relationships are just as, if not more, important than the processes, frameworks, and methodologies.
