Dean Leffingwell | ICON Agility Services | Scaled Agile, Inc. Partner Testimonial

Dean Leffingwell, co-founder of Scaled Agile, Inc. and creator of the Scale Agile framework (SAFe) discusses how ICON was able to influence a partner driven approach, as well as his praise for the customer value ICON has delivered using the Scaled Agile framework.

ICON Agility Services was the first partner of Scaled Agile, Inc. and has been a leading provider of business agility coaching, strategy consultation, SAFe transformation services, agile role augmentation, DevSecOps, agile training and SAFe certification, and operations efficiency since 1992.

“I won't, I won't make light of it at all. ICON was our first partner - our first Scaled Agile partner.
When we were a forming company about, well it's been a decade or so ago now, ICON was proactive enough and we knew people there who were doing these similar types of things, that we said this would make a great partnership and they influenced us to take a partner driven model.
We don't do a lot of service delivery at all, just Alpha and Beta tests, and we depend on the ICON's of the world to do the value delivery. So, we're very appreciative. In a way, I think we do the easy part, right? We write the framework, we research, we study, we work in the field, but the real, the real heavy lifting happens at the pointy end with customers.
So, we very much appreciate ICON. I've worked with Kathy off and on for almost that full time. So, it is kind of special, and that's one of the reasons I'm here - I've got lots of opportunities to do webinars. My calendar gets full, but I'm just pleased to be a part of the ICON family.”
