Scaled Agile & Jira Align
Scaled agile that executives can see and teams can live with
SAFe transformation, Lean Portfolio Management, PI planning, and Jira Align implementation from practitioners who do both the operating model and the tooling. Proven across 125 Agile Release Trains at Visa and the Federal Reserve Banks’ technology portfolios.
What we deliver
SAFe transformation
Assessment, roadmap workshops, ART launches, and role-based coaching, especially for RTEs, product managers, architects, and leaders. A certified SAFe Practice Consultant also leads every engagement.
Lean Portfolio Management
Strategy-to-execution alignment, portfolio kanban, guardrails, participatory budgeting, and real decision authority at the portfolio level.
Jira Align implementation
Portfolio, program, and team hierarchy, OKRs, PI planning rooms, dependency and risk management, and executive reporting connected to Jira.
PI planning facilitation
Preparation, facilitation, and follow-through for quarterly planning events, whether in person or distributed.
PMO and portfolio governance
Intake, prioritization, funding, and flow metrics, so a PMO gains real influence without adding bureaucracy.
Agile coaching and training
Team, program, and executive coaching, as well as SAFe, Scrum, and ICAgile training delivered by certified instructors.
People, framework, and toolchain in balance
Transformations fail when one of the three moves ahead of the others. We therefore keep them synchronized: the people (roles, coaching, leadership), the framework (SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, LPM), and the toolchain (Jira, Jira Align, Confluence, Azure DevOps).

Frequently asked questions
Jira Align is Atlassian’s enterprise agile planning platform. It connects team-level Jira work to programs, portfolios, OKRs, and strategy so executives can see progress and risk in real time.
Both. Our practitioners are SAFe certified and Jira Align specialists, so the operating model and the tool are designed together.
A first portfolio typically goes live in 10 to 16 weeks, including hierarchy design, Jira integration, PI planning configuration, and training. Generally, enterprise-wide rollouts run in waves.
Yes. We redesign intake, prioritization, funding, and governance, and then we configure Jira Align to run them.
