Melissa has deep expertise in SAFe, spanning corporate and government in Australia and abroad. Melissa has been working exclusively in the SAFe space since 2014. She began her journey with SAFe with RMIT in the first SAFe implementation in higher education for Australia. This was the third implementation in Australia and was so successful it was published as Australia's second Scaled Agile, Inc. case study.
Since then, Melissa has helped organisations launch the Scaled Agile Framework on large work programs across big banks, little banks, health, higher education and government as a Principal Consultant with Pretty Agile. With formal qualifications in workplace training, business management and, of course, a qualified SAFe Practice Consultant, Melissa is an engaging, fun, inclusive facilitator who draws on her deep experience in SAFe to bring the courseware to life. In recognition of her deep practical experience with SAFe, Melissa was designated an SPCT in 2024.
