Pretty Agile was founded by Em Campbell-Pretty, one of the original four SAFe Fellows globally. Em launched Australia’s first SAFe Agile Release Train at Telstra in early 2012 — months before SAFe was registered as a trademarked framework — and documented that work in one of the first ten official SAFe case studies. She founded Pretty Agile in 2014, building on her popular blog of the same name.
The Pretty Agile team are all practitioners first. Between them, they bring decades of SAFe implementation experience — spanning Agile Release Train launches, Solution Train Engineering, Lean Portfolio Management, and enterprise transformation across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and North America. Classes and workshops draw directly on that experience.
Our focus is on helping organisations achieve Tribal Unity® through SAFe, applying Em’s culture-first approach to launching Agile Release Trains. We work with a clear philosophy: our role is to help your organisation learn how to do this — not to do it for you.
Alongside SAFe, Pretty Agile now delivers the full AI-Native curriculum across Australia and New Zealand. Both Em and Adrienne are Certified AI-Native Trainers. The focus is on helping organisations use AI deliberately — redesigning governance, decision rights, and roles so AI becomes a normal part of how work gets done, rather than a series of isolated experiments.
