Julie Chickering is an elite agilist, having nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in helping Fortune 500 companies adopt Agile. In applying Agile with both non-technical and technical teams, she is recognized for being pragmatic in helping both executives and staff learn how to effectively use Agile practices in their planning and delivery.

In her classes, Julie provides Agile Coaching so that attendees can learn practical lessons to apply in their workplaces. She strives to create a safe learning environment for all her students, so that they can feel comfortable asking questions, giving feedback, and “sharing the air”. Ultimately, her focus is on value: How can her students bring value now and in the future, and how should they think about value, regardless of the role they play in their team. As an enterprise coach, she can empathetically explain the “business why” for Scrum practices, and offer practical advice for implementing Scrum in large corporations where Waterfall is the norm.

Julie is the embodiment of an ideal servant leader. Beginning her career at Sabre, the technology arm of American Airlines, she worked in a variety of roles within their development teams. She joined one of the company’s first Agile pilot programs and quickly became hooked on the power of agility to transform the business model.

She eventually became an Enterprise Agile Consultant at American Airlines. Today, she is an expert enterprise coach, in-demand Scrum trainer and Agile thought leader. Her story inspires course attendees in every class she teaches, and Julie is passionate about opening her students’ eyes to the possibilities of a future in Agile, no matter their current role.

Julie also holds a PMP certification, and her courses attract many Project Managers who are looking to transition to Scrum and Agile.

Since her early days as an agilist, Julie strengthened her skills and expended her experience in working with Travelocity and Rally Software. While at Rally, she held consulting roles in enterprise coaching and change management for the Fortune 500. Julie was fortunate to work with and be mentored by Jean Tabaka, Rally’s first Agile coach and author of “Collaboration Explained”.

“I believe in the art of the possible. Learning from Agile Manifesto signatory Jim Highsmith and other leaders in this space early in my career shaped what was possible for me. I hope I can pass on not just my knowledge, but my enthusiasm for learning and developing the world of Agile.”

Special Industries: Hospitality/Travel, Technology
