Partner · Business Agility and LPM Coach

Harry Narang is a SAFe® Practice Consultant, Agile coach, and author based in Toronto who has led more than thirty enterprise SAFe® transformations across the public and private sectors. He has trained over thirty thousand corporate professionals worldwide and ranks among the most sought-after SAFe® practitioners and trainers in North America. His work centers on Lean-Agile operating models, portfolio leadership, and executive change management, and Toastmasters International named him one of North America's top nine speakers and trainers in 2017.

Harry is the call when a portfolio has 8 to 12 teams that need to deliver on the same cadence, and the leadership team has tried a SAFe® rollout before and rolled it back. He inherits the half-built Agile Release Train, runs the PI Planning the room actually trusts, and connects the ART to portfolio funding so the change holds. The first Program Increment is usually rough. By the fourth, it is the one the board defends in earnings calls.
