Background

Delivery, transformation, and coaching experience behind the classroom

Surya has worked across Agile delivery, enterprise transformation, management consulting, and training for more than 20 years. His work includes helping organizations move from waterfall delivery to Agile ways of working, coaching role owners, and supporting large-scale change through SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, and LeSS practices.

His sessions bring delivery context into the classroom: backlog conversations, dependency handling, PI Planning readiness, leadership alignment, flow metrics, and coaching conversations that teams can use after the training.

What the session feels like

Practical, interactive, and grounded in workplace examples

Surya uses room discussion, visual facilitation, and delivery scenarios so learners can relate SAFe concepts to their own teams, ARTs, products, and transformation challenges.
