We are proud to collaborate with respected and experienced Certified Scrum Professional practitioners both locally and across the nation, helping with agile coaching and training.
I am skilled at drawing the essence out of broad ideas and concepts, clarifying goals and desired benefits, and focusing the efforts of teams to realize value and meet or exceed those goals. Whether it’s applying Agile Methods, managing a portfolio of traditional projects, or leading a cross functional team of internal staff and vendor partners, there are common concepts to apply and adapt to each situation and client. For my direct clients, I apply coaching and mentoring skills honed across all aspects of my life, and naturally integrated into our shared efforts.
It’s about focus, respect, collaboration, and empowering motivated teams toward a common vision. This takes frequent communication, transparency, trust, and minimal unpleasant surprises. It’s also about flexibility, thinking on your feet, and making the best of challenging situations when the unknown suddenly becomes known. I bring calm, direction, and clear thinking in the midst of chaos.

Andy Cleff is an experienced and pragmatic Agile practitioner that takes teams beyond “getting” Agile to embracing Agile.
His superpowers include holding multiple perspectives, enabling step changes that bridge current and future states, allowing space for both order and chaos simultaneously, celebrating success, and foremost, putting the people at the top of the priority list.
His chief weapons are well-asked questions, insightful retrospectives and an ability to withstand awkward silences.

Questions about what coaching is and how it can help? We’d be glad to meet with you or join a call with your teams and/or leadership to answer questions and share stories of what we’ve seen, both good and bad, when companies try to enter in or take their next step with agile. More and more, we’ve seen multiple attempts met with challenge, resistance and struggle. It doesn’t have to be that way.
We are better together. Rocket Nine Solutions teams with other independent certified scrum professional practitioners both locally and across the nation.
