In Flipping the Script, Cobb shares a story of Jennifer, a middle-aged and non-technical business analyst forced to lead a team of engineers through a software development project. If the project fails, Jennifer and several others will likely lose their jobs. Jennifer’s career would likely be over. Everyone on the engineering side of the business wanted her to fail. They didn’t want to answer to a business analyst. They wanted to continue business as usual. But business as usual was not an option for Jennifer. She had to succeed. And she needed engineers to complete the project. Can Jennifer succeed with so many factors pushing against her?

“Ricochet allowed us to bring our vision of an e-commerce style class search to life. We had a tight budget and a lot of unexpected problems on the Berkeley side. Utilizing Ricochet's state-of-the-art tracking tools and disciplined scrum approach allowed us to surmount every challenge and end up with a fantastic application. We loved the creative collaboration that allowed us to remake a boring campus class schedule into a high-octane search tool that our students and faculty love! Thank you Casey and the whole PR team!”
