What people that participated say:

Practical Software was the provider for a custom system for the internal elections for the leading workers union in Israel. The risk was high, and I was skeptical because of my experience with software products. But everything worked like a dream, and the support from Practical Software during elections day was beyond expectations. I’d love to work with them again as my supplier for software development.

I met Ilan from Practical Agile as a consultant working with a development group that I led in Cisco in 2016. We worked together for about 6 months, during which you taught me management models, approaches and terms related to Agile and in general. During this period I had a chance to observe and participate in various activities you ran with my group. During these months we worked together I implemented with your support management principles within the Cisco organizational constraints at the time, and we succeeded to bring meaningful changes in the group. Later on, when I moved to other organizations, in management roles, I frequently used the things I learned from you. I used the knowledge and models while implementing vision and strategy, when facing conflicts and when dealing with complex management decisions. I found myself frequently quoting you, and research you referred me to, in meetings and while working with my subordinates. I felt that your coaching had a meaningful and long term influence on me, long beyond the period we worked together. I want to thank you for the tools you provided me with, and the knowledge tips you generously gave even after our formal work together has ended. I hope we will have opportunities to work together in the future. I am sure you have a lot more to contribute to me! With appreciation, Efrat Belams
