Enterprise delivery & certification practice
Vanguard Consulting Partners brings private SAFe and Agile certification classes, fractional delivery leadership, and AI-era governance advisory to government agencies and enterprises — taught and led by a practitioner who has run the programs, not just the slides.
One contract, one cohort, your context. We bring the official curriculum to your team — virtual-first, scheduled around your release calendar, with every participant working on your real backlog instead of a generic case study.
Advanced enterprise credentials (RTE, LPM, Agile Product Management) are intentionally not offered yet. We only teach what we are currently certified and prepared to teach well.
Start anywhere on the ladder. Most clients begin with a class or a workshop and move up as the relationship proves itself — which is exactly how we'd want to be bought.
Official SAFe and Agile curriculum delivered in-house to a single client cohort, tuned to your delivery context.
Custom Agile, Scrum, PMP, and AI-for-delivery workshops built around your methodology, tools, and standards.
One-to-one mentorship, team coaching days, and embedded coaching that turns new certifications into changed behavior.
Ongoing advisory and hands-on support for a transformation already in flight — governance, metrics, and course correction.
A senior delivery executive in the seat one to two days a week, accountable for the portfolio. Three-month minimum.
Talks on scaling Agile without losing the plot, AI in the delivery organization, and governance that speeds teams up.
Most organizations adopted AI tools faster than they wrote the rules for them. We build the framework that lets delivery teams use AI at speed and lets risk, legal, and audit sleep at night.
A fixed-scope engagement producing your usage policy, review gates, model and vendor evaluation criteria, risk register, and audit evidence trail — written to survive an actual audit.
A half- or full-day session for leadership teams: what AI actually changes in delivery, where the real risk sits, and which use cases are worth funding first.
Hands-on days applying AI to forecasting, status reporting, risk detection, and portfolio analytics — with the controls that keep the outputs trustworthy.
Certification and career work for the people doing the delivering. Open to individuals directly, and available to employers as a sponsored benefit.
35 contact hours, application support, practice exams, and a study plan built around your actual calendar. Cohorts of six to ten, or one-to-one.
Scrum Alliance CSM preparation for practitioners who want the foundational Scrum credential rather than the scaled-framework track.
One-to-one mentorship for PMs and delivery leads targeting a senior seat: positioning, interview preparation, and a ninety-day plan for the role you want next.
Fixed-fee consulting, coaching seats, official training, and instant-download templates, all in one place. Filter by type or browse it all.
PMO audit, Agile maturity review, and a delivery risk roadmap. A 2–3 week engagement — most clients convert to a retainer.
3–6 month flagship retainer: SAFe, PI planning, AI-enabled reporting, and PMO governance rebuild.
Hands-on coaching for your teams — ceremonies, retrospectives, impediment removal, and continuous improvement, tailored to your org's maturity.
Executive-level delivery leadership, one to two days a week — for scale-ups, PE-backed companies, and orgs between full-time hires.
Group cohorts plus 1:1 sessions with certified leadership behind $100M+ programs. Study guides, mock exams, live sessions.
One-to-one coaching for PMs and Agile professionals targeting director, VP, or consulting roles.
Official 2-day SAFe training, certified by an SPC — real enterprise context behind every concept.
Customized in-person or virtual sessions — Agile for Executives, AI for PMs, SAFe overviews, and leadership development.
Jira dashboards, Power BI templates, and KPI trackers — ready to deploy for an enterprise PMO.
Backlog management guide, story-mapping templates, and an acceptance-criteria toolkit for Product Owners.
Schedule, submittal, and closeout templates plus OSHA-aligned safety plan templates for field and enterprise use.
Incident, change, and service-request process templates aligned to ITIL v4 — built for finance, healthcare, and government.
Tested prompts for status reports, risk logs, sprint summaries, meeting notes, and retrospectives.
Different seats, same pressure: outcomes, on time, defensibly governed. Here's how we show up for each.
Compliance-first program delivery, modernization roadmaps, and audit-ready governance for federal, state, and local agencies.
An accountable delivery partner for infrastructure, ERP, and AI initiatives — especially where a deadline is already fixed.
Flow metrics, predictable release trains, and leadership that raises throughput without burning teams down.
Maturity assessments, reporting executives actually read, portfolio analytics, and tooling that makes the PMO indispensable.
Approved-vendor ready, with certification pathways and private cohorts that turn training budget into measurable delivery skill.
Scaled-framework enablement, coaching, and community-of-practice design that keeps agility from calcifying into ceremony.
Just-enough process: delivery discipline that supports growth from 20 to 200 people without importing enterprise drag.
Delivery due diligence, 100-day value-creation plans, and execution muscle that protects the thesis across the hold period.
PMP, SAFe, and Scrum certification prep plus career mentorship — taught by someone who has run the programs.
Public-sector programs answer to taxpayers, auditors, and oversight bodies. We build that accountability into the plan from day one.
Legacy replacement, ERP modernization, and cloud transitions planned around continuity of service — phased cutovers, tested rollback paths, and a communication plan for every constituency.
NIST-aligned controls, records-retention awareness, and procurement-compliant documentation built into delivery artifacts rather than appended to them. Every decision leaves an audit trail.
Private certification cohorts for agency staff pair naturally with program work, reducing long-term contractor dependence — a requirement we welcome rather than resist.
Vanguard Consulting Partners was founded on a simple observation: most transformations don't fail on strategy — they fail on delivery.
Our leadership brings more than a decade of hands-on experience running enterprise initiatives across IT infrastructure, ERP and S/4HANA transformation, governance, and compliance — aligning cross-functional teams, vendors, and stakeholders around complex goals through Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid methodologies.
That practitioner background is why our classrooms work. The examples come from real programs, the questions get real answers, and the training is designed to hand off capability rather than create dependence.
Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Virtual-first delivery nationwide, with on-site engagements by arrangement.
No invented results, no borrowed credit, no credential we don't hold.
