About Rocket Nine Solutions
We help individuals and organizations reach their true potential by leveraging the strengths of Agile values and principles — and we support your transformation journey every step of the way.
What we stand for
Five commitments shape every engagement — from the first discovery call to the last day of coaching.
Our team is highly respected in their Agile communities, with over 70 years of collective transformation experience. Our trainers coach and our coaches train — we continuously test the theory of the classroom against real-world challenges. We live what we teach.
We focus on the never-ending challenge of coming up with new ideas and tools to help our customers achieve their transformation outcomes.
Instead of sales calls, we make discovery calls. We spend time getting to know your needs and objectives, and commit to your vision — not an out-of-the-box solution.
We never bait and switch. Our coaches are involved from the discovery phase through execution. The coaches we show you are the ones you get — we never give you less.
If we don't believe we can help, we won't accept the engagement. If your journey takes a new direction, we support it. And if we can't help, we'll recommend someone we trust who can.
Meet the founder

In their words
Scrum was just a word, but after this class it is now a way of doing business.
Very engaging trainers and hands-on exercises to really absorb Agile, not just "hear" about it.
Every piece I needed and wanted to understand, adopt and apply. Like a short story — every piece contributed.
Great experience. Excited to bring this knowledge to my team and try it in a different discipline.
