Having a long-running union with Skookum, we educeed the need for a lead individual to be full time on this project to help drive it advanced and direct an Agile access. Historically, we worked in a waterfall environment but our timeframe for the project was brief. Skookum dedicated a full-time resource who worked in our edifice for the complete period of the project. That resource coached us and pushed us advanced to get the fruit out the door.
