Anand Murthy Raj

“If I have to name Anand after having spent 7 days learning Implementing SAFe for SPC certification, I would only call him as a person with wisdom in the space of Business Agility. He will never shy away from telling you that he does not know on something if he really does not know the answer of your question. This is rarest of the rare as I have seen many practitioners and coaches will tell you something which might not work. Anand is an excellent Storyteller which probably makes him the best coach and trainer. His humbleness adds more beauty to his knowledge and wisdom. It is great to know you Anand!”

“I took the Implementing SAFe class from Gladwell Academy where Anand and Sathya were the instructors. I have taken many certification courses in Agile and I have found Anand as the most knowledgeable instructors. Anand works excellently with people, and his knowledge of Agile/ Scrum/ Lean/ Scaled Agile is all but unmatched. I missed the last lesson due to technical issues at my end. Post training, Anand not only scheduled time with me but he was generous with his time and truly believes in paying it forward. He helped me work through some Scaled Agile concepts and strategies, and gave me some fantastic advice and guidance. Anand has the largest list of examples from the real life that you can relate to Agile principles and processes and he was able to help people achieve spectacular results with various different goals. Anand’s interpersonal skills, his knowledge and abilities, and his diligent work ethic makes him the best instructor. He truly cares about his clients and students, and he has the skills to develop plans that will truly help them. I can listen to Anand for hours and I will not be surprised if one day we will get an opportunity to hear Anand’s TED Talks or read books authored by him. I highly recommend Anand to organizations that need Scaled Agile Consultants to start their scaled agile journey or need consulting advice. If you are looking for Scaled agile classes and certifications, my recommendation will be take it from Anand. Anand as an instructor will make sure you will not only learn the concepts and at the same time have an ability to relate Scaled agile concepts to your everyday life. It is often said, “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom”, with Anand you get both for the price of one.”
