I'm Alun - founder of Altogether Agile, agile practitioner, trainer, coach, and Visiting Lecturer, University of Westminster. This page is about where I've come from, what I believe, and why I built this.
I didn't set out to be an agile trainer. I started as a graduate trainee at SSA after a Masters at UMIST, writing code for ERP systems on AS400. What followed was fifteen years at Boehringer Ingelheim - moving from systems analyst to Head of IS Consulting to leading a global SAP deployment across six countries.
It was inside Boehringer that I first got serious about agile - pioneering a Scrum-wrapped-with-DSDM approach to enterprise SAP rollouts at a time when most organisations considered the two incompatible. It worked. Not perfectly, but well enough to prove the point.
In 2016 I went independent, founding Altogether Agile and building a training and coaching practice from the ground up. I've worked as an affiliate trainer with QA, Metadata Training, and TCC; as a Scrum Master and Assessor at the Agile Business Consortium; and as a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Westminster since 2020.
Altogether Agile is now the centre of gravity - training, coaching, knowledge base, and platform in one place. One person, nearly 30 years of experience, and a genuine belief that agile works when it's taught and coached by someone who's actually done it.
Not sure where to start? A chemistry session is a free 30-minute conversation - no agenda, no commitment.
Book a chemistry sessionMost agile training is too abstract. It describes frameworks without connecting them to real problems. It teaches ceremonies without explaining why they exist. It certifies people who leave the course without knowing what to do on Monday morning.
Altogether Agile exists to close that gap. That means every technique connects to a real decision, not a hypothetical one - and every session ends with something concrete enough to act on.
Every course, every coaching conversation, and every technique in the knowledge base is designed to be immediately usable - not a concept to be filed away for later. That means real scenarios, honest facilitation, and a trainer who's been in the room for real.
