A SAFe Fellow, Mark Richards has been involved with the SAFe Framework since 2012 when he coached Australia’s first Scaled Agile implementation at Telestra.
In 2013 Mark made major contributions to the framework which led him to being named the world’s first SAFe Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT) outside of Scaled Agile Inc. Mark is one of just a handful of SAFe Fellows in the world and Agile Rising is one of only 13 organizations that can provide a SAFe Fellow level of coaching.
“The SAFe Fellow program represents the ultimate achievement for those looking to advance Lean-Agile methods at enterprise scale with SAFe,” says Dean Leffingwell, creator of SAFe and Chief Methodologist. “If we are in a challenging situation–whether puzzling over the next generation framework or struggling to optimize a SAFe implementation–the Fellows are the folks we turn to.”–Dean Leffingwell, creator of SAFe, Chief Methodologist.
