I had the pleasure of working with Sachin as an agile coach for our team.  From day 1, we could see that Sachin was very result oriented, focused, effective and observant. In particular, he was able to enroll teams into breaking down user stories to the extent possible and yet the stories retained their business value. The estimation and story pointing methodology became a hit within the teams and everyone started participating in the process.

He also was able to ensure that teams authentically raise the issues instead of being overly optimistic or pessimistic. Most of the scrum ceremonies were adjusted and altered so that they were done correctly. He was also able to build a great rapport with the team members and influence them in the right direction.

Last but not the least, teams improved upon both velocity and quality targets over a period of 2 months. I, personally, learnt a great deal from Sachin. I would highly recommend Sachin as an agile coach to help teams transition from just thinking that they are agile, to truly being agile!!!
