Every agile transformation presents unique challenges given different combinations of people, organizational structures, market segments and competitive forces, technology and tools. Transformations are never turnkey, and can’t be reduced to a scripted playbook to be copied and pasted from client to client irrespective of their specific needs. In order to be successful over the long term, agile transformations require strong, and sustained, collaboration and partnership at every level, from teams all the way up to the executive suite. That’s an ethic that infuses everything Natoma does.

“As an Atlassian Silver Solution Partner, Natoma has certified our commitment to not only focus on process and education, but also on the critical role of tooling and technology to turn agile theory into reality,” said Malik Graves-Pryor, co-founder of Natoma Consulting and its principal consultant.

“Each of those elements should be seen as co-equal partners. At Natoma, we recognize the powerful role technology can play to eliminate barriers, improve communication, and facilitate adoption of the agile effort. We have identified Atlassian as a company that shares that same outlook.”

With more than 15 years of experience helping teams organize, discuss and complete work, Atlassian's tools support all types of teamwork, from ad-hoc information sharing and planning to highly structured collaborative workflows. More than 89,000 organizations globally have turned to Atlassian to facilitate transparent collaboration for software, IT and business teams with more than 80 of Fortune 100 companies using Atlassian tools.

“We do not prescribe any technology or tool any more than we would prescribe an agile method or framework,” said Jesse Webster, Natoma’s co-founder and director of client services. “But we recognize that many of our clients leverage the Atlassian stack and seek technical guidance and support during their agile adoptions. With more than 10 years of experience across the full range of Atlassian products, this was a natural alliance that allows Natoma Consulting to marry both disciplines in a way that is most efficient and effective for our clients.”
