About

I'm Anna. I help organizations build Agile Release Trains that actually work.

I'm a Release Train Engineer and SAFe Practice Consultant with 15+ years of experience inside large-scale Agile transformations. I founded Scaled Bridge because I kept seeing the same gap: organizations investing heavily in SAFe and still not getting the delivery outcomes they were promised.

How I Got Here

I started my career as a Product Owner, which gave me a front-row seat to what happens when delivery breaks down — missed commitments, unclear priorities, and teams that are busy but not moving the needle. That experience shaped how I think about Agile: it has to produce real outcomes, not just ceremonies.

After more than six years as a Product Owner, I spent five years as a Scrum Master, then became a Release Train Engineer and Enterprise Agile Coach. I've led release trains from nine teams up to 250 people, and coached and trained Scrum Masters along the way.

What I've learned is that most ART problems are not framework problems. They're people problems, communication problems, and leadership alignment problems. The teams usually know what's wrong. The challenge is creating the conditions where they can say it and act on it.

I founded Scaled Bridge to do that work directly — embedded in the cadence, honest about what I see, and focused on building capability that lasts after I'm gone.

I also coach Scrum Masters and Agile professionals one-on-one, because the gap between passing a certification and doing the job well is one most people cross alone.

How I Work

Embedded, not advisory

I work inside your cadence — PI Planning, System Demos, I&A, team ceremonies.

Direct and honest

I tell you what I observe, including the things that are uncomfortable. If I think something isn't working, I'll say so.

Capability over dependency

Every engagement is designed to leave your people stronger. I'm not trying to make myself indispensable.

Small client load, real attention

I keep my engagements intentionally limited so every client gets genuine focus — not a fraction of my attention.
