Robert Goffman
Agile Advancement
My passion is educating, coaching, and helping agile teams mature to provide value in a way business has not previously experienced. My 30 years experience in business and technology and across many different industries will provide insight and ideas to successful agile implementations and improvements. Our partnership begins when we first meet, builds through our class time and review sessions, and continues through professional organizations, meetups, and future courses. I am looking forward to sharing my wealth of experience, having constructive discussions, and bringing reality to the classroom, while preparing you to successfully become SAFe certified in your desired area.
