Ali is one of the world’s youngest SAFe Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT), and an experienced trainer in various other Agile frameworks. For over 1.5 decade Ali has been involved in finding Agile ways of working for environments that do not directly jump to mind when talking about Agile.

Starting with applying Agile in the pharmaceutical industry Ali has proven to be strong in contextualizing the principles of short-cycled development, early risk reduction, and building quality in for a more predictable delivery of value. With that, the last years Ali supported (hardware) engineering companies in finding their own (scaled) agile way of working. Ali is an excellent trainer that connects the context of its participants with the principles of the (scaled) Agile Way of Working.

Pop up in my job: Finding agility within mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing engineering is my secret trick to work with brilliant engineers. Engineers who went into Physical Product Engineering because they wanted to design intelligent, beautiful solutions to complex engineering challenges. However, the engineers are getting stuck in an increase of overhead due to bureaucracy, slow organizational processes, and work overload due to an increased demand or increased product portfolio to be associated with. My job has been to find a modus operandi to get back efficiency, workload reduction, and team stability. This has given the engineers, project leads, and integrators the structures to become effective again, and has given me the opportunity to learn from smart specialists two design our collective future.
