We are thrilled to announce that Pragmatic Coders has been awarded the "Punkty Zwrotne" (Turning Points) Award in the category of Best Agile Transformation at Scrum Summit 2025, held on May 15 in Warsaw, Poland! 🎉 About the Awards The Punkty Zwrotne Awards honor teams that drive positive organizational change. Spanning three categories, they spotlight real-world transformations that challenge the status quo, showing how learning from mistakes can lead to better decisions and more adaptive ways of working. Our journey Our journey? It started with firefighting. Literally. Years ago, our leadership team spent more time putting out delivery issues than growing the business. Despite good intentions, autonomy without structure led to chaos across teams and clients. So we did the hard thing: we stopped pretending we were “agile” and actually became agile. From firefighting to framework, our transformation included: Company-wide adoption of Scrum with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. A tailored onboarding and internal training program, including 3-month advanced Scrum courses and “brainwashing” workshops. Systemic knowledge-sharing rituals like Scrum Link Coffee and Product Roast sessions. Strong internal standards and tools for backlog management, budget tracking, and continuous improvement. Bringing Scrum not just to dev teams, but to HR, marketing—and even clients. We turned our organization into a product—complete with vision, roadmap, and metrics. This award validates the hard work of everyone at Pragmatic Coders. And it proves that when done right, agile isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a game-changer.
