The Context
Who is Shane Gibson?
Shane is the creator of the Information Product Canvas and the author of the Agile Data Guide series. He coaches data teams to change how they work, simplifying complex data delivery and bridging the gap between data teams and the stakeholders they serve.
Practical, no-nonsense, opinionated where it helps. Based between Paekākāriki, New Zealand, and Somerset, United Kingdom. Co-founder of AgileData.io.
The problem
What does Shane help data teams do?
Most data teams aren't failing because of talent or effort. They're failing because the system around them makes it hard to succeed. Too many tools. Too many priorities. Too many ways of working invented from scratch on each project.
Shane helps data teams change how they work. Replace ambiguous requirements with a shared language. Replace endless processes with patterns that fit on a page. Replace the disappointment cycle with new muscle memory.
How it works
How does Shane work with data teams?
Shane works as a private team coach, virtually embedded with your data team, and based on a fixed monthly coaching fee.
He brings Agile Data Patterns and Pattern Templates like the Information Product Canvas, three decades of coaching experience, and a clear bias toward outcomes over deliverables.
His extensive background includes roles as an Agile Data Coach, Enterprise Architect, Product Manager, and founder of multiple data companies. He's the host of the Agile Data N' Info Podcast and the author of courses focused on practical data practice, including the popular "Gather data requirements in 30 minutes using a shared language".
He works himself out of a job.
The goal is your team's independence, not your team's dependence.
