Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Agile Coach to lead the enterprise-wide adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). This role goes beyond team-level coaching and requires a strategic change agent capable of coaching leadership on Lean-Agile mindsets, driving cultural transformation, and enabling the shift from traditional Waterfall models to a value-driven Agile organization. The Agile Coach will be responsible for assessing Agile maturity, facilitating major SAFe events, building internal Agile capabilities, and ensuring long-term sustainability of Agile practices across the organization.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

1. Agile Transformation Strategy & Roadmap

  • Assessment: Conduct initial Agile maturity assessments to understand the current state of teams, tooling, and culture.
  • Value Stream Mapping: Lead workshops to identify Operational and Development Value Streams to organize teams around value delivery.
  • Implementation Plan: Design and execute a rollout roadmap for launching Agile Release Trains (ARTs) aligned with business strategic themes.

2. Execution & Facilitation (SAFe Events)

  • PI Planning: Drive the preparation and facilitation of Program Increment (PI) Planning events, ensuring alignment on vision, roadmap, and dependencies.
  • Cadence Governance: Establish and coach the organization on the necessary cadence of synchronization events (Scrum of Scrums, PO Sync, System Demos, Inspect & Adapt).
  • Dependency Management: Implement mechanisms to visualize and manage cross-team and cross-ART dependencies.

3. Coaching & Capability Building

  • Executive Coaching: Coach executives, managers, and leaders in the Lean-Agile mindset, helping them shift from "managing work" to "enabling teams."
  • Role Coaching: Provide direct mentorship to Release Train Engineers (RTEs), Scrum Masters, and Product Managers/Owners to master their specific SAFe responsibilities.
  • Training: Deliver certification training (e.g., Leading SAFe, SAFe for Teams) and customized workshops to upskill the workforce.

4. Metrics & Continuous Improvement

  • Measurement: Define and implement key metrics (Flow Velocity, Flow Time, FlowLoad) to measure the success of the transformation.
  • Relentless Improvement: Facilitate Inspect & Adapt (I&A) workshops to identify systemic impediments and drive continuous improvement across the train.

Qualifications

  • Certification: Certified SAFe® Program Consultant (SPC) is mandatory. Additional certifications (PSM II/III, CSP, ICP-ACC) are a plus.
  •  Proven experience leading a SAFe transformation in a large enterprise or government entity (launching at least 2-3 Agile Release Trains).
  • Demonstrated experience delivering SAFe training courses to diverse audiences (from developers to C-level execs).
  •  Exceptional facilitation, conflict resolution, and communication skills.
  • Ability to handle resistance to change with empathy and firmness.
  •  Proficiency in Agile Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jira Align) to visualize flow.
