Hey Friends, I’m Ahmed Syed, a Scaled Agile and Productivity Coach based in the UK. Over the past 8 years, I’ve launched, transformed and/or coached over 12 Agile Release Trains and have personally facilitated over 30 PI Planning Events. On this site, my focus is on helping you to run amazing PI Planning Events.

I spend my time as a consultant, speaker, trainer and advisor specialising in the Scaled Agile Framework and specifically Program Increment (PI) Planning.

I run a weekly YouTube video series SAFe in the Real World where my focus, for the moment, is on PI Planning. If you do have any questions, or would just like to get in touch, the best method is to connect to me on LinkedIn and message me or by messaging me here.
