You determine the best way to implement and communicate that governance to stakeholders, and you build the education plan and strategy that brings development teams up to speed once it is established.

What You Bring
- 8+ years of Agile delivery or transformation experience
- 5+ years working in a SAFe environment
- 3+ years coaching or training teams in Agile or SAFe practices
