Unlock the power of agile development
agilityIRL was founded by people who’ve lived the work—not just studied it, taught it, or advised it from the sidelines.
We started this company with a simple goal:
make work better for the people doing it, and more effective for the organizations relying on it.
agilityIRL was founded in 2016, and over the last decade we’ve helped dozens of companies—small to large—build healthier, more effective ways of working.
We’re also employee-owned, which makes it easier to focus on doing the right work (not selling the next “phase”).
Consultants who’ve actually done the job
We’re practitioners first.
Before coaching others, we’ve been:
- Leaders and managers
- Project and program managers
- Product Owners and Scrum Masters
- Team members under pressure to deliver
- Professionals working inside regulated and high-stakes environments
We’ve seen what works, what fails, and what looks good in theory but falls apart on Monday morning.
That experience shapes how we show up—with empathy, honesty, and a healthy skepticism for one-size-fits-all answers.

Where We Go Deeper: Medical Technology
We work across industries—but we specialize in medical technology, where speed, quality, and compliance all have to happen at the same time.
Medical device teams are under constant pressure to ship faster, raise quality, and stay compliant—yet “agile” can feel like a risk when it doesn’t align with the QMS or regulatory timelines. We help you make iterative delivery audit-ready, traceable, and predictable—without slowing innovation.
MedTech outcomes we help enable
- Deliver early and often—with full compliance
- Modernize your QMS for visibility and control (traceability, smoother inspections, fewer surprises)
- Eliminate the pre-release scramble by building quality in upstream instead of “testing and documenting at the end”
- Use TIR45 as guidance so Agile fits the reality of regulated delivery
