Ali is Partner at Avant Edge, and SAFe Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT)* and an experienced architect and trainer in various other Agile frameworks.
For over a decade Ali has been involved in finding operating models that benefit from planning agility, early risk rededuction, and cross-functional collaboration. While in earlier years this was called "Agile", recently the ambition adopted a multitude of terms.
Ali has been working with companies, teams, and environments that do not directly jump to mind when talking about Agile. Agile working has proven to be beneficial and has been seeping into non-software environments.
Starting with applying Agile in the pharmaceutical industry Ali has proven to be strong in contextualizing the principles of short cycled development, early risk reduction, and building quality in for a more predictable delivery of value. With that, the last years Ali supported (hardware) engineering companies in finding their own agile ways of working at scale, resulting into new operating models, governance structures, roles and responsibilities.
Ali is an excellent trainer that connects the context of its participants with the principles of the (scaled) Agile Way of Working.
By providing training, understanding and tweaking development processes, and coaching people from different backgrounds, Ali has been successful in even the toughest environments. His work has resulted in cultural change, new practices, more effective teams, and happier stakeholders.
For many clients Ali continues to be a trusted partner in the search, implementation, evaluation, and adjustment of ways of working.
* His SPCT title grants him the ability to provide certain trainings, done exclusively for/via partner company Kegon GmbH.
