[guest author fields > title]

Steve Elliott has a proven track record of leading successful teams and transforming large scale organizations to agile. His software startup AgileCraft was recently acquired by Atlassian, dedicated to pioneering enterprise agility, for 166M USD. Prior to this, he has already led several other startups, sales, support, strategy development, and engineering teams. His passion lies in designing tools and finding ways to help organizations scale all aspects of business operations. He enables leaders to excel in their management duties through the use of agile to transform the way they do business. Steve’s brainchild, Jira Align (formerly AgileCraft), makes all work visible across an enterprise in real time, finds consensus on roadmaps, scope, and dependencies across teams and portfolios, and uses value engineering to rapidly drive value and lean thinking to accelerate digital strategies.
