It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Hiren. I had the pleasure of working with Hiren for over six months, in the Agile transformation journey of germin8. I was particularly impressed by Hiren’s ability to handle even the toughest situations- and effortlessly. He has flair to deal with people and situations. He brought the collaboration among different cross-functional teams. As an Agile Coach and Trainer, Hiren earns my highest recommendation.

Thank you for the most interesting five days in our work life. It was such an informative and creative training session. Apart from the usual training sessions, you made us learn and get in to scrum without we even realizing it. You helped us put on our thinking hats and come up with a lot of ideas. As well as made us realize our pain points and our areas of improvement individually and as a team. Am sure it made all of us here realize the true value of working as a team.

Hiren is an excellent program / project manager. He is dynamic, focused, committed and enthusiastic. He is always prepared to go that extra mile to help the team be successful. Hiren is great to share ideas with and will often offer an alternative or better way to do something. He’s a great team player, an excellent communicator and negotiator and is very well liked and respected by those that work with him. It’s been a pleasure working with him for the past 4 years.

Hiren was good at Managing multiple Projects and solve the critical project deadlines in no time. He steps in head and takes lead role to manage projects which are behind the deliverables. I would recommend dedicated, sincere Manager like Hiren as in every company where you would have critical and multiple projects. Good to have worked with him and known the value of time management.

Hiren was a highly skilled Feature Leader software engineer who worked for me when I was at EMC. He is diligent, detail-oriented and tackled every assignment enthusiastically. He thoroughly understood the interaction of the software and hardware and developed the appropriate test cases needed to verify the intended functionality. I was always confident that when Hiren finished a testing project and said the software was good to ship that the software would function well for the customers. Hiren is also a pleasure to work with, has high integrity, and gets along well with all of his co-workers. I would highly recommend Hiren.

I am immensely benefitted by the coaching given by Hiren on Agile Software Project Management. Hiren combines the theoretical framework of Agile practice along with rich experience. Very intuitive and practical. I am sure organizations and managers aspiring to transit to Agile mode will gain a lot.

Dear Hiren, I would like to thank you for an excellent workshop on Agile Project Management.  The feedback from the participants is also excellent. I think you have been able to open-up their minds on how this can be done with simple steps, templates etc. I also strongly feel this is something that we need to follow-up with regular sessions, assessments with each of the team members/functions. We will come back to you with a structured plan for the same & the likely support we will require from you. I look forward to being in touch and working with you more closely in adopting this philosophy in our company & reaping the benefits of the same – by way of efficiency, profits and ROI.

I would like to enthusiastically endorse Hiren Doshi.  Hiren and I have worked together on curriculum development, co-training, and coaching enterprise Scrum adoption. On our client engagements together, I was impressed by his hunger to implement immediate improvement. In particular, I’m very proud of his success in reducing a billion-dollar dotcom’s post-sprint hardening cycles from 3 weeks to 1 week. I also enjoyed watching him in action as a truth-teller, who would pull no punches with executives. Furthermore, unlike most Scrum advocates, he is able to articulate the supportive role that functional managers can play in a Scrum environment. He also has a broad training toolkit. We worked together to design the first ever PMI Agile Certified Professional (PMI-ACP) curriculum offered in India, which covered nearly 100 learning objectives beyond Scrum. In each of our co-trainings, he had the presence and confidence one wants in spokesperson. He has both the charisma to get a room’s attention, as well as the substance to keep it. I’m a fan of Hiren. I’ve seen him in action on stage, in the classroom. He is a great ambassador of Scrum, and would be an asset.

Jesse Fewell Certified Scrum Trainer, Scrum Alliance 19 May 2017

I met Hiren at TESCO, where we were working on a significant Project. Hiren was the Agile Coach who actually helped TESCO master their Agile skill sets. I’ve worked with Hiren for close to two years now. I will try to bring out the vast changes (definitely for the better!) that Hiren has brought about at TESCO, specifically in the project that we are working on. As a Scrum Coach, Hiren helped us to understand what Agile was all about and how it will help us to delivery not only better quality software but also at a very fast pace. The best part about Hiren’s way of coaching is the numerous hands on sessions that he organizes. He always comes up with new, interesting and exciting games when he coaches the new joiners in the team. Hiren also has vast knowledge of other Software Development Processes like Waterfall, Kanban, etc. Hiren’s energy and focus, and deep understanding of Agile, would be a boon to any company that’s wants to improve not just their software development practices, but their entire organization.
