NKD Agility transforms capable developers into modern engineers. With hands-on coaching, real-world DevOps, and Agile Engineering training, we future-proof your team - without losing momentum.

Still relying on your top 10% to carry the 90%?

Still relying on external contractors to patch internal capability gaps?

Let’s grow your people - so they grow your product.

Build the Teams You Always Wished You Had

Ready to Build Confident, Capable Teams?

Pain Points We Solve

Skill Gaps That Stall Progress

Legacy habits can’t support modern pipelines, cloud architecture, or rapid delivery.

Training That Doesn’t Stick

One-off courses fade. We embed skills into how teams work every day.

Repetition Over Innovation

Teams are stuck fixing bugs and reworking code instead of solving real problems.

Dependence on Firefighting Heroes

Critical work falls to a few key engineers. The rest don’t get the chance to grow.

High Turnover or Low Engagement

Without growth opportunities, your best talent walks - and the rest coast.

“Martin is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in helping teams become more agile and adopt DevOps practices especially around the Microsoft Azure platform and VSTS / TFS. But he is not limited to that stack with plenty of experience with competing and complimentary technologies. He explains things clearly and gets rid of any ‘smoke and mirrors’ to show how any team can make small improvements to improve how they work. He is one of the leading MVP’s globally for DevOps and someone myself and my colleagues in the Azure product group trust to give us honest and insightful feedback.”
Martin Woodward | Principal Group Program Manager | Microsoft
