Yuval Yeret

I help leaders looking to improve traction and outcomes in their organizations. I specialize in applying agility principles and practices on new frontiers while minimizing "Process Theater". 

Here's what I'm up to these days:

• Strategic advisory for a leading global futures exchange developing and applying a product-oriented operating model across multiple portfolios.
• Contributing to the Scrum.org Agile Product Operating Model - especially where it meets large-scale / portfolio contexts.
• Helping leaders on the frontiers of agility apply principles in context, leverage relevant aspects of frameworks, and shape the future of agility. As the world's sole Professional Scrum Trainer who's also a SAFe Fellow/SPCT, I provide these leaders a rare mix of breadth and depth of expertise when it comes to scaling with agility across a variety of domains.
• Actively sharing insights and thought leadership in my Scaling w/ Agility newsletter
• Delivering private Professional Scrum training, often combined with Agility  Strategy follow-up workshops to tackle real-world challenges and move from training into action. (NOTE: I rarely schedule open enrollment Scrum.org workshops. Join the waiting list, which I use to gauge interest and work with potential students to schedule classes when it makes sense) 

What challenges are you working on? I'm always curious to hear and see if I can help. 

Here's some key impact I've had over the years: 

• Co-created Professional Scrum with Kanban (PSK) class and co-authored the Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams  to help bring Kanban/Flow to more teams and organizations.
• Helped Gillette use Scrum/Agility to design the home-run Labs Exfoliating Razor and rethink how they innovate.
• Helped CA improve Marketing/Sales Agility at scale and provide thought leadership in the Agile Marketing space.
• Helped Siemens, CyberArk, Amdocs, HP Software, and others achieve sustainable agile traction using the Kanban evolutionary method at the portfolio/enterprise scale. (These customer stories have been part of the inspiration for “Holy Land Kanban”)
• Brought invitation/pull-based change thinking and practices into the Scaled Agile Framework world. Authored "SAFe from the trenches” sharing insights and reflections from the frontiers of safely scaling with SAFe.
• Speaking in community and industry events - sharing insights from the trenches and challenging our community to explore new frontiers. Check out videos of some of my talks.
