10 agile consultants
The Scaled Agile Framework is common ground for these agile consultants: six hold SAFe credentials or SAFe coach and trainer titles, two of them as SAFe Practice Consultant Trainers, while the others include a Professional Scrum Trainer, a ProKanban trainer, a flow-based delivery specialist and a consultant working in the Chinese market. A company scaling agile, a team choosing between Scrum and Kanban, or a program rolling out Jira Align could find a match.
