Agility Coach
Ben is a pragmatic Agilist with over 24 years of experience working in the IT sector. Some might call him an Agile Coach while others a Scrum Master or Agile PM. Labels aside, Ben has a depth of knowledge and experience through real ‘hands-on’ practical application of Agile mindset and methodologies across all levels of business to enable sustainable change, a focus on faster customer value delivery and Agile adoption.
Ben has developed a scaled approach to Agile focusing specifically on small to medium organisations called SAMOSA (Small and Medium Organisation Scaled Agility). This method of working can be implemented completely through practical application rather than theoretical certification.
Ben has helped groups of developers, managers, librarians, marketers, designers, festival crews, DevOps teams and C level teams to become highly effective in removing obstacles through Agile frameworks and developing consistent practices.
Ben is also available to run high energy and hyper-relevant workshops and training sessions on all things Agile from Introduction and 101 sessions to Scrum master certification. He is also able to run ‘mini’ workshops (45 to 90mins) for ‘meetups’ and industry association gatherings.
