McKenna Agile Consultants has completed the initial phase of agile training and hands-on coaching with the City of York Council, partnering closely with the Digital Development team to strengthen delivery capability across key roles and disciplines. Our work focused on practical, public-sector-ready agile methods that improve the flow of value to residents and internal stakeholders.
During this phase we carried out a capability baseline, delivered tailored Agile and Scrum training, and embedded coaching for Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Delivery Managers and engineers. We introduced clear cadences for planning, reviews and retrospectives, strengthened backlog management and prioritisation, and supported teams adopting Scrum and Kanban to increase predictability, transparency and quality. The result is a confident foundation for agile delivery in local government, with better alignment between strategy, policy and day-to-day digital service development.
