Client Comments from past Engagements
1) "I had a chance to work with Les Proctor over the course of nine months on a large finance oriented technology transformation project involving four work-streams and about 80 people. Throughout the entire engagement, he demonstrated a holistic grasp of Agile along with making sure that those new to the methodology received the proper support and training to be successful. Most important however; he brought a rare and often overlooked ability to balance the mandate of following a particular delivery methodology against the realities of having to deliver elements of the project against a tight schedule. By being flexible, the team was able to stick to the timeline and ensure that all the necessary project items were also completed on schedule." (WorldPay Merger)
