Dennis Ebersole

I'm interested in Lean|Agile methods for complex systems, Agile transformation strategies, Agile coaching, and Agile adoption in DoD and Federal agencies. I'm a Certified SAFe Program Consultant and a CSPO, and my primary focus is on adapting practices from large-scale agile frameworks including SAFe, SAFe-LSE, Scrum at Scale, Disciplined Agile Delivery, and Large-Scale Scrum to help Federal clients transform to Agile acquisition models. I have 27 years of experience in engineering and operating complex systems in the Aerospace and Defense Industry and the US Navy.
