From Scrum to Point Man

The Story

Have you wondered why there is such a discrepancy between some reports of success with Scrum compared to others? Some companies report upwards of 200, 300 and even 1,000 percent increase in productivity, while on average the news is much more marginal, only a 10-20 percent increase. In these marginal implementations of Scrum, it is just not that much better than waterfall.

The Results

Digital Onion has identified the missing ingredient for Scrum success: Leadership. The concept is not inherent in the procedures of Scrum, therefore Leadership is neither understood nor practiced. And, its presence is the key for companies who report 400% increases in productivity. Scrum is an enabler. Leadership is the catalyst.

What Digital Onion has done is systematized Leadership into something that can be taught, rather than stumbled upon or learned through apprenticeship. Our Point Man Leadership System is what got Toyota to their goal, and it is what can take your projects from marginal to extraordinary!
