I’m Sabrina Noto, an enterprise agile coach, entrepreneur, and advocate for meaningful transformation in the workplace. With over a decade of experience leading full-scale agile transformations, I specialise in helping organisations improve customer delivery, create better working environments, and strengthen leadership for long-term success.
My journey into agile wasn’t just about frameworks and methodologies—it was about people. Early in my career, I saw first-hand how rigid structures and outdated processes stifled innovation, frustrated teams, and left organisations struggling to adapt in an ever-changing world. I knew there had to be a better way. Agile, with its emphasis on collaboration, adaptability, and delivering real value, became the answer. It wasn’t just a methodology—it was a mindset shift that empowered teams, fostered creativity, and unlocked potential at every level of an organisation.
This passion led me to establish Direct Agile Ltd, where I work with businesses to implement lean portfolio management, quarterly planning, and scaled agile frameworks, helping them not only transform processes but also build cultures of continuous improvement. Beyond my consultancy work, I co-founded Agile World News, a platform dedicated to sharing insights, trends, and discussions that shape the agile community. I’m also actively involved in Agile World Charity, where I support initiatives that make agile knowledge accessible to all.
But beyond my professional world, I’m a firm believer in continuous learning, resilience, and having a sense of humour even in the toughest transformations. I share my life with two miniature smooth-haired dachshunds, Izzabella and Annabella, who bring their own unique brand of agility to my daily routine. Whether I’m coaching executives, guiding teams through change, or walking on the beach with my dogs, my goal is always the same—creating environments where people and ideas thrive.

As an Enterprise Agile Coach with over 15 years of industry experience working at multiple levels, I specialise in leading full-scale Agile transformations and implementing strategies that drive sustainable change and growth. My passion is helping organisations achieve agility at scale by blending traditional ways of working with evolved ways of work (EWOW), aligning teams, optimising workflows, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
I partner with Fortune 500 companies and other large enterprises to implement lean portfolio management, quarterly planning, and Scaled Agile Framework practices alongside traditional ways of working. My approach is bespoke and tailored to meet the specific needs of each business, organisation, and its customers. By leveraging a blended approach that combines traditional methods with agility, I ensure solutions that work best for the unique challenges and goals of every organisation.
I bring a results-driven approach, blending hands-on coaching, strategic insight, and a deep understanding of organisational dynamics. My mission is to empower organisations to deliver value more efficiently, respond to market changes faster, and unlock the potential of their teams.
