That the team is highly capable and adaptable to work in any organization culture from corporations and governments to our not-for-profit. They draw from their own vast experience to understand organizational challenges and map them to best practices. It shows in their generosity to share observations on culture, processes, and challenges of other organizations they’ve worked with and yet tailor solutions to fit Mitacs' needs.
IncrementOne will be able to accelerate the adoption of Agile because the team will quickly have a solid understanding of any business context in which they are operating.
