Projects that had strong governance support — either by a higher-level cross-functional or by a single high-level executive champion — had a 76% success rate. Those with moderate governance support had a 19% success rate. (Harvard Business Review)
Teams with a strong executive champion are more likely to succeed. See below how we can help your teams.
What's Possible with MGS
Shift from individual output to team success.
We show teams how to set meaningful multi-iteration goals and align daily work to them. Through role-specific training and collaborative exercises, members learn to step outside silos, share accountability, and create a culture where success is measured by outcomes delivered together.
Make collaboration more productive than coordination.
We train teams to use sprint events as genuine opportunities for collaboration, not just reporting. With guided practice, standups, planning, and reviews become moments where problems are solved in real time, reducing rework and making delivery faster and more consistent.
Keep teams aligned without rigid rules.
We support organizations in creating improvement communities that spread good practices across teams. These groups recommend, not enforce, better ways of working, ensuring alignment grows organically. With ongoing mentoring, teams sustain productivity gains without sliding back into silos or over-reliance on process.

Lance's "Working on A Scrum Team" training class was informative, interactive and engaging. Our teams found the onsite group training very effective to get everyone (Product Owners, Scrum Teams, Scrum Masters) aligned on the same concept, approach, and best practices… Most importantly, he still works with scrum teams in the trenches and is able to provide thoughtful suggestions for difficult situations.Lu F.Director PMO
