The Psyclone team has been a pioneer in the Ecommerce organization. The team was 1st formed as a proof of concept to determine if an Agile Scrum model could increase  peed to market to support all initiatives focused on increasing revenue, conversion, customer satisfaction and units sold online and do it outside of quarterly release process. A year and a half later, Psyclone's success has been such that not only they are a well established and respected team, but they also have opened the door for the creation of the  ive additional Agile Scrum teams now operating in Ecommerce. 

To quote the Ecommerce ATO Scrum Coach: Psyclone has demonstrated a deep understanding of agile values and principles over the course of the year and a half as a Scrum team. The team mission statement to 'consistently meet commitments, build a high quality product, and have FUN doing it' truly sums up the core values of the team. The team is the highest performing team I've worked with in a decade of agile teams, and performed in the 95th – 98th percentile of the Rally universe on key agile metrics. Each team member has a dedication to transparency, continuous improvement, and collaborative and innovative technical excellence. Psyclone is the team that sets the bar high, and keeps pushing it higher. - Susana Shanahan, August 2015 (Product Owner)
