Tim Schwamb, SPC
Tim Schwamb is a Senior Agile Transformation Consultant with Agile Rising, who brings a wealth of experience with large programs in the government sector. He spent much of his 21 years in the Air Force engaged with government programs as a customer, engineer, program manager, and organizational leader, learning Agile principles the hard way. After retiring from the Air Force, his transition into the Agile space was an easy one, leveraging his experiences and lessons learned with those of the Scaled Agile Framework and the Agile Manifesto. As a result, he has served as Agile Coach and trusted advisor to several government programs within the Air Force and NASA, assisting them with working within - and later beyond - the traditional structures and processes to achieve agility. He’s known for his pragmatic approach to the implementation of Agile practices that are always grounded in the Agile mindset and principles. Tim has a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Computer Systems.
