Testimonials

In her time at Limelight Erica was instrumental in helping us grow. She quickly and seamlessly installed a process with our agile development that the business needed – and the developers loved. In just three months the process that Erica designed, implemented and ran was DIRECTLY attributable to an increase in development velocity of more than 25%, fewer bugs delivered to QA, and better spec for the team.

The process led to a happier dev team, better retention, and a leg up in recruiting top tech talent. Can’t recommend Erica enough to any team looking to improve and get the most of their people.

When Erica joined the project – our team was struggling with project fundamentals that were impacting quality of delivery and productivity. When she joined the project she had immediate impact. She overhauled our backlog in Jira, established a much clearer process for sprint workflow that helped both with accuracy/predictability of delivery and positively made each role on the team more accountable for their work. These changes cascaded into how the sprints run, meeting cadences, etc. and we saw immediate gains from her work

Erica has a great passion for her work that really permeates in everything she does.
