Agile Partnership

What Agile Partnership does

Agile Partnership is a Montreal-based professional services firm that provides Agile coaching, training, and consulting to enterprise clients, primarily across Canada. The company delivers four interconnected service lines: Agile Coaching (multi-month transformation engagements), Agile Training (group education programs), A la carte Services (short-duration on-site consulting for hours, days, or weeks), and Software Engineering Practices (technical excellence coaching covering TDD, BDD, and SOLID principles). The firm is led by a team of 8+ named agile coaches, including founder Isabelle Therrien and coach Jimmy Carroll (PSM II, PSPO II certified), who travel on-site to client locations for engagements.

The business model is sales-led professional services with custom-quoted engagements scoped by duration and complexity. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, word-of-mouth referrals from a 60%+ returning-client base, and event-driven brand building through recurring participation in Agile Tour Montréal (since 2015+), Agile Open Montréal, Spark the Change, Agile2017, and the Business Agility Conference in NYC. The firm supplements services with content marketing via an active blog and a downloadable Agile Toolbox PDF resource. Customer segments span large enterprises undergoing agile transformation in banking, insurance, telecommunications, government, gaming, manufacturing, and energy — including Bank of Canada, BDC, Capital One, Desjardins, Bell, TELUS, Ubisoft, and Canadian federal agencies.

The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity. It is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, with service delivery concentrated in Canada. As a people-based consultancy, the business is highly dependent on individual coach expertise and client relationships rather than proprietary technology, with no software product, API, or platform offering.
