Organizational Design Consultant | LeSS & Kanban Coach | Professional Scrum Master | CMI Team Coach | Mentor | IC Agile Authorized Instructor | Candidate LeSS Trainer
We have worked closely with Denis Salnikov through a very intense period for our company. What was started with two pilot Scrum teams has later turned into a full-scale company transformation resulting in the LeSS setup of seven teams. Denis has not only introduced the change but helped us to make it sustainable.
When Denis joined our team, we were for sure lacking some guidance. Denis embraced the challenge and helped us perform at our best, making everybody in the team proud to be part of it. With his guidance we defined and shaped our Scrum implementation to achieve a pleasant, conflict-less and efficient work pace.
As an Agile Coach, Denis managed to improve our Scrum events and the team's velocity and effectiveness in a very short time span. He inspired me and ignited my passion for Agile all over again. I can honestly say that this has been the best Product Owner - Agile Coach experience in my professional career.
Denis Salnikov demonstrates a highly analytical approach, which aids decision-making and analysis of the process. Denis introduced and supported various improvements across the teams of my department, helped them to identify opportunities for improvements and actively participated in the recruitment effort.
