We work with a variety of teams, and it's interesting to observe patterns as to when a team is ready to bring in outside help.

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we talk through some real examples, like adding tests to a large codebase, and understanding what questions you need to ask. We also reveal how coaching can help teams avoid common pitfalls and reach solutions faster.

  • (09:15) - Silly bit
