Brian Tucker

Principal Consultant, SAFe Fellow, SPCT

Brian was one of the first trainers outside the Scaled Agile Academy to qualify as a SAFe Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT), having worked with the framework since its initial inception 18 years ago. Brian regularly delivers the SAFe Program Consultant training and has delivered it over 160 times in the last 12 years; more than anyone else in the world. 

Brian was invested as a SAFe Fellow 2020. His influence can be seen throughout SAFe; the current visualisation of Lean Portfolio Management is based upon concepts sketched out by Brian and Fellow Ian Spence. Brian’s experience has shaped SAFe’s treatment of customisation by emphasising understanding the Why rather than the What.

As a consultant, Brian has been involved in SAFe implementations at numerous companies across Europe, including hybris, PZU, Ford, Nordea, NHS Blood + Transplants, Etihad Airlines, Sony Playstation, LV Insurance, Marel, ABB and Melea. His experience covers both regulated and unregulated environments, and both physical and digital development. He is a highly proficient Agile and Scrum coach and trainer with extensive management experience in both corporate and small company situations, backed up with eleven years of software development experience.

Brian is a certified trainer of AI-Native Foundations and Change Agent.
