Pamela Warwick Business Transformation Program Lead, Melton City Council

Last week I took time out to attend the Leading Scaled Agile for Enterprise (SAFe) course ran by Pretty-Agile. Time away from the every day to reflect and see where the program needs to pivot is always a good thing - the content and delivery by Claire Sanders and Adrienne Wilson with their real world examples was exactly what I needed in my role. It allowed me to reflect on what we are doing well and can amplify AND where we can do it differently to get results faster and easier.....Small refinements with big impacts. I left the course with ~10 actionable items to implement and the support tools to do it. Our success will be the sum of small changes embedded into the way we operate. Big thanks to the Pretty Agile team

Melinda McCormack Portfolio Initiative Lead, ANZ Banking Group

Adrienne Wilson and Claire Sanders - You both were fantastic, so helpful! You kept the content simple and relevant, there is so much I can take back to the organisation.

Jamie Pride Partner, Organisational Strategy at Korn Ferry, Entrepreneur In Residence & Author of Unicorn Tears

Adrienne and Claire did an amazing job delivering Leading SAFe. They know the material inside out and bring lots of real world experience to the course. Would highly recommend.

Jackie Penno Senior Project Program Manager, Australian Electoral Commission

Continuing with professional development during these COVID19 times has not only been engaging but has also provided me the opportunity to learn and collaborate with professionals from across Australia and Asia that I normally would not get the chance to meet. Yet here we all are learning in the Zoom Video Communications classroom, working together on the MURAL whiteboard for visual collaboration and using Slack channels for every conversation. Thanks to the amazing team (Claire and Melissa) from Pretty Agile for delivering a great course! #scaledagile #scaledagileframework #learnfromhome

Alina Racu Associate Director, Turner & Townsend

I would highly recommend your course, Claire Sanders and Melissa Hay! Thank you for all your efforts and agility to deliver this course online. Let's keep the good work flowing!

Bipin Paul Bedi Chief Technology Officer at Lateral CRE Technology

Thanks to Pretty Agile, the instructions and guidance from Melissa Hay and Claire Sanders were amazing.

Leanne Haire Operations & Portfolio Lead, ANZ Banking Group

The epistemology of practice is the most important consideration for me. Being taught by people who have brought it to life is key. I recently attended training facilitated by Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson. The #1 comment from my colleagues after was how great it was to learn from people who had lived this. What we’ve achieved after is amazing.
