Recommendations
Not only is Beth a catalyst for change and a delight to work with, but she also brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the world of software management. Her insight and expertise revolutionized software development at washingtonpost.com. Throughout the process of implementing SCRUM, she championed the process to all levels of the company, effectively pitching the benefits to executive stakeholders, product owners, developers, and project managers. I highly recommend Beth Macy.

Beth's expertise in Scrum Software Development has proved to be invaluable to Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive.
Within a year, every development team has adopted the methodology and has benefited from it. By effectively communicating to
the business users, she has successfully engaged the product owners and has established a very productive, and at the same time diciplined,
development model in this extremely fast-paced environment. I reallly enjoyed working for her. She is a good teacher, while at the same time
never stops learning and improving herself. Because of business reasons, I have since moved to a different division within the organization
and I am still benefiting from what I have learned from her.
