Globally Recognized Expert on Scaling w/ Agility
I’m Yuval Yeret. As an agility coach/consultant/trainer, I help leaders pursue real and pragmatic agility at scale. Leaders reach out to me when looking for ways to improve product development as well as when they want to apply agile ideas towards overall operational excellence and business scaling/improvement.
The engagements I thrive in involve taking an agile, pragmatic path to an agile organization. I’m based in Boston. My clients are all over.
Back Story
I spent the first half of my career leading IT and product development – especially in teams focused on operating systems and networks.
While I half-joke that we were practicing DecSecOps in the Israeli Air Force way back in the 90s, my first formal exposure to Agile was in 2006 – when my organization was struggling to get its act together.
I learned about Scrum and Kanban, and we leveraged them to improve our ability to build a quality, valuable product and improve our time to market.
I realized that figuring out how to apply agile techniques to help stabilize and scale product/IT organizations was something I was good at and passionate about – and I essentially pivoted from the field of computer operating systems to human/organizational operating systems.
I’ve had the privilege to collaborate with world-class thought leaders in this space and helped leading technology companies, future and current unicorns, and future-leaning IT organizations improve their ability to innovate, their time to market, and the value they create for their customers.
Thought Leadership
- Establishing Kanban as an alternative/complementary path towards agility at the team and organizational level (some call me “Mr Kanban Israel” due to my involvement in creating a thriving enterprise kanban ecosystem in the Israeli tech sector and for Holy Land Kanban)
- Co-developing Scrum.org’s Professional Scrum with Kanban to help bring Kanban/Flow to more teams and organizations.
- Bringing invitation/pull-based change into the Scaled Agile Framework world.
- Co-creating the icAgile Agile Marketing curriculum and establishing best practices for applying Agile Marketing at scale.
My Current Focus
- Pragmatic Scaling – Leveraging principles and practices from SAFe, Kanban, Nexus, EBM.
- Fixing Agile – helping organizations evolve beyond mechanical or flailing attempts at achieving agility.
- Agile Beyond Software – using agile approaches to design and bring to market physical products (think the latest Gillette razor) or cyber-physical systems combining digital and physical into one experience.
- Agility for Business Challenges – leveraging agile ideas for organizational health/scaling – e.g. through frameworks such as OKRs.
