Matt Hosking, lead Agile and SAFe trainer at AgilityPro

At a glance

Matt Hosking is the lead trainer at AgilityPro, delivering private SAFe, Scrum, and Agile training for organisations across the UK, Europe, and beyond. His work is grounded in more than two decades of practical delivery, transformation, and coaching experience, rather than a purely classroom-based view of Agile.

He works with leadership groups, delivery teams, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, change agents, and internal Learning and Development teams to make training useful, relevant, and connected to the realities of enterprise delivery.

Practical training shaped by real delivery experience

Matt has worked across programme delivery, Agile transformation, enterprise systems, coaching, and training in a range of commercial and public-sector environments. That background matters because good Agile training is not just about presenting a framework clearly, it is about helping people connect the material to the messy, human, and organisational realities they face at work.

His approach is pragmatic and experience-led. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, test ideas against their own context, and explore the judgement needed to apply Agile and SAFe well, rather than treating the course material as a script to be followed mechanically.

Through AgilityPro, Matt focuses on private, organisation-specific training, usually for internal cohorts who need a shared understanding, a common language, and enough practical confidence to improve how they work after the course has finished.

Training style

  • Clear, structured facilitation without turning the course into a lecture
  • Practical examples from real Agile, product, programme, and transformation settings
  • Small-group discussion designed around the organisation’s own context
  • Balanced treatment of frameworks, principles, judgement, and organisational constraints
  • Supportive handling of mixed-experience groups, from senior leaders to team-level practitioners
  • Strong focus on making certification courses useful beyond the exam
  • Remote and in-person delivery using practical collaboration and facilitation techniques
  • Experience-led guidance on where SAFe helps, where it needs careful interpretation, and where context matters

Experience and background

Matt has over 25 years of experience across Agile, delivery leadership, programme management, business change, and enterprise technology environments. His career has included work with large private-sector organisations, public-sector programmes, technology suppliers, consulting firms, and internal transformation teams.

Before focusing heavily on Agile and SAFe training, Matt worked in senior delivery and programme roles involving enterprise platforms, operational change, software delivery, infrastructure, business intelligence, and large-scale organisational delivery. This gives his training a practical grounding in the tensions that often sit behind Agile adoption: governance, funding, leadership alignment, delivery pressure, technical dependencies, and the challenge of changing established ways of working.

He has been working with SAFe since 2012 and has delivered SAFe training to more than 1,000 participants, both independently and through associate roles with established SAFe partners.

Why train with Matt?

Matt brings together certification experience, practical delivery background, and a careful understanding of how Agile and SAFe ideas behave inside real organisations.

That makes his training particularly useful for internal cohorts who need more than exam preparation, they need a shared language and a more practical way to reason about change, flow, teams, products, and leadership.

Delivery options

Matt delivers private training remotely and in person, with courses shaped around the group’s experience, organisational context, and learning objectives.

Remote delivery can be supported with collaborative tooling where appropriate, and in-person delivery can be arranged across the UK, Europe, the USA, and beyond.

Training philosophy

Good training should make the framework clearer, but it should also help people make better decisions when the framework meets the reality of their organisation.
