Last year, Excella partnered with Tysons Corner-based [Silverline Communications](https://teamsilverline.com/how-saying-yes-to-agile-changed-our-agency/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) to transform their marketing and communications agency. Silverline wanted a management system to provide greater stability and manage multiple priorities for their busy clients. They found it in Kanban.
