Back to original languageAbout Benjamin
Agile Coach / Senior SAFe RTE. I support IT departments, Digital Factories, and product/tech tribes in their large-scale Agile transformations, especially when delivery lacks predictability, dependencies hinder execution, or the organization needs a clearer framework.
I focus on 3 main levers:
👉 Structuring ARTs and tribes: roles, events, PI Planning, ART Sync, dependency management, product/tech/business alignment.
👉 Data-driven management: lead time, cycle time, throughput, PI objectives, quality, release cadence.
👉 Maturing teams and managers: coaching POs, Scrum Masters, managers, workshop facilitation, continuous improvement.
✅ Examples of results:
- Restructuring an international ART of 80+ people;
- Shifting from one release per PI to a weekly cadence;
- Improving PI objective achievement rate from 34% to 94%;
- Deploying Agile dashboards and objective-driven management practices.
My preferred environments: SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, Jira / Confluence, OKR, DevOps, CI/CD, product/tech organizations in transformation, large enterprise and multi-team contexts.
My skills are enhanced by effective communication, a deep understanding of the business world, and a commitment to quality, thus ensuring continuous improvement and maximum efficiency.
If you want to make Agility a real performance tool for your organization or teams, I can help you implement an effective framework aligned with your goals and context.
