Position Summary:

Command Cyber Solutions (a federal government contractor) is looking for an Agile Coach to support The Defense Enterprise Accounting Management System (DEAMS) Program Management Office (PMO) (AFLCMC/GBGD) located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB).

Environmental scans will assess people, processes, organization, technology, governance, and other perspectives. 
•    The Agile Coach shall update the initial Agile Assessment Report quarterly (once per Program Increment) to document progress and recommendations.

The assessment update shall include input from interviews with leadership, POs, technical leads and project managers of Contractor teams.
•    The SAFe 5.0 Coach shall work side-by-side with multifunctional teams as DEAMS personnel execute Agile practices.

The coach shall also assist in easing the organizational culture from well-established federal hierarchical structures, processes, and reporting to support an Agile mindset in order to meet desired outcomes.
