The question behind the guide
When a client describes your last engagement, what do they say changed?
A client can value the dashboards, assessment and delivery analysis you provided. As AI makes that work available to anyone with a dashboard and a dataset, the question is whether the engagement also changed decisions, behavior or outcomes.
What did the client value?
Use one direct question to move the conversation from what happened during the engagement to what changed because of it.
What does their answer tell you?
Learn what to listen for without treating one response as a final verdict on your work.
Where does your coaching model go next?
Use the answer to examine how your work should develop as delivery investigation becomes easier to access.
About the author
The guide is written by Sonya Siderova, Founder and CEO of Nave.
Nave grew out of a product development team that was delivering just 25% of what it committed to. After adopting Kanban, the team began making decisions from delivery data instead of opinions. That experience eventually became Nave, a flow analytics platform trusted by 7,000+ delivery teams worldwide.
