About Me

I’m Sally Sloley. I help companies understand their work and find ways to keep improving.

I’m not going to bring you someone else’s solution for your unique situation. What I bring is a curiosity about what you do and how you got there, and an openness to discover where you want to go. I’ll work with you to create a way to move towards your goals without forcing major changes up front. I’ll give you options and let you decide where you want to be.

I started my career at Microsoft, where I led global delivery teams across 44 languages and multiple time zones. I managed end-to-end delivery for properties like Microsoft Store, MSN, Xbox, and Microsoft.com. That experience taught me what it takes to get work done well across complex environments with a lot of moving parts.

Since then, I’ve spent the last decade working with companies across Australia. I help teams see how their work actually flows, find where things get stuck, and figure out what to do about it. I use lean, kanban, and continuous improvement practices - not because they’re trendy, but because they work.

I’m an accredited trainer through Kanban University, Modus Institute, and ICAgile. I’ve delivered keynotes and workshops across the US, Australia, Japan, India, Europe, and Southeast Asia. I also wrote a book called #stopbadagile because I’ve seen too many companies get sold bad solutions by people who don’t understand what agility actually means.

I believe work doesn’t have to hurt. When teams have transparency, a shared sense of direction, and the freedom to improve how they work, everything changes.
