Scaling Agile — 20 to 80+ Builders
As Agile Coach at Flywheel/WP Engine, I scaled the Scrum organization fourfold. Certified by Jeff Sutherland and Mike Cohn, I trained thousands of clients across four countries on Agile, Scrum, Kanban, and release planning.
Scaling the Organization
When I joined Flywheel as Agile Coach, the engineering team was around 20 people running a handful of Scrum teams. Over the next several years, I helped scale the organization to 80+ builders while keeping the culture collaborative and the delivery cadence tight. That meant evolving team structures, introducing cross-team coordination rituals, and coaching leaders through the growing pains that come with rapid growth.
Coaching & Frameworks
I worked across Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe depending on what each team needed. Some teams thrived with strict two-week sprints. Others needed the flexibility of Kanban flow. At the portfolio level, I helped leadership adopt release planning and PI planning practices that gave the whole organization visibility into what was coming and when.
Training Across Borders
Beyond internal coaching, I trained thousands of clients across four countries on Agile, Scrum, Kanban, and release planning. These were hands-on workshops designed to give teams practical tools they could apply immediately. Whether it was a startup trying Scrum for the first time or an enterprise scaling across departments, the goal was always the same: help people ship better work together.
Certification & Growth
Certified by Jeff Sutherland (co-creator of Scrum) and Mike Cohn (one of the founders of the Scrum Alliance), I brought credibility and depth to every engagement. But the certifications were just a starting point. The real education came from years of coaching teams through the messy reality of building software at scale.
