Agile Coach Testimonials
I can vouch that Ed is as good as it gets when it comes to Agile training in the UK. Worked with him and he instilled confidence in Kanban in the entire room in 1 day.

Agility Coach, Barclays
I’ve worked with Ed at both the BBC and Global on a couple of agile transformation initiatives. Over the last two years in particular, he has been an extension to the team, really helping the development teams and the business teams to really understand how to build better products. The Agility in Mind group are great people to work with, they are permanently etched into my “go-to” book for future projects.
Kieran Harvey
Global Digital Director – Products & Strategy at Merlin Entertainments plc
I hired Ed to give an Agile Product Owner biased course to educate our PO’s on the concepts, expectations and responsibilities of PO’s within an agile team. Most of the attendees were new to agile and Ed walked them through the concepts and ideas in an easy to follow and totally interactive manner. At the end of the course the attendees were buzzing and eager to get cracking on implementing some of the key concepts. I totally recommend Ed and ‘Agility in Mind’.
Paul Cleghorn
Delivery Manager at Yodel (Yodel Delivery Network Ltd)
Ed worked as a Scrum Coach and Scrum Master with me as part of the revitalising of Scrum at ASOS. I found him to be a key driver in driving improvements within the Scrum community and always had a different way of viewing things that moved us forward. He worked well with the teams as well as improving how myself and other management could work with the teams, was an extremely personable guy and i would not hesitate to bring him back in again.
