Unreliable plans don’t just kill trust, they drain resources.
What would more accurate planning mean for your bottom line?
What's Possible with MGS
Create reliable forecasts
We teach techniques that turn estimates into accurate agile plans. From story points to advanced planning strategies, teams quickly move past guesswork into reliable forecasting. The result is shorter planning meetings, consistent velocity, and forecasts stakeholders believe.
Create shared commitments that build trust and morale.
If deadlines are dictated, instead of negotiated, plans are not reliable. We help leaders and teams create balanced commitments. Through role-specific sessions, from executives to product owners, your organization learns to set achievable deadlines together. The payoff is stronger delivery and trust rebuilt across the business.
Make improvements stick with mentoring, workshops, and real-world ongoing support.
Teams will leave training sessions with skills proven to work in the real world, so they can handle the inevitable bumps in the road. We also provide optional follow-on workshops and check-ins to reinforce what was learned, without creating long-term dependency, so you can continue to plan with confidence.

Estimating Workshop
This workshop gives teams the opportunity to practice estimating in story points with an experienced agile mentor who can correct misunderstandings and facilitate more accurate estimates.
As a coach, I'm always seeking more effective ways to ask questions. The concept of quantifying and naming the unknown backlog from the team's perspective-"How much of the solution do you see?"-resonated with me. It's a powerful approach to understanding the team's vision and clarifying uncertainties.
