Jeff Burstein is an innovator, founder, consultant, speaker and Enterprise Agile Coach with over 20 years experience in helping companies and government agencies discover a better way of working. The 2020 pandemic precipitated the birth of a new company. IQ4Agile was created to bring solutions to the crisis facing worldwide educational systems. The company directive is to change the education sector from legacy, rigid systems and pivot them to function and succeed at a high level in our “new reality.”
Jeff initiated a collaboration of leaders from both the transformation and
educational space to develop a new scaling Agile framework called L-EAF.org. It can best be defined as “an emerging open source Agile framework designed around the complexities of Education and the Education sector.” The goal is to meet the unique complexities inherent in educational systems and to switch the conversation to a student-centered focus, creating truly pull based education systems.
As an organization, Jeff established L-EAF.org so teachers can, once again, love teaching while students develop their own love of life long learning. It is in this commitment to ensure that these skills and practices are available to every student, regardless of constraints that aligns the work being done by the NativityMiguel Coalition and L-EAF.org
Jeff has held many roles as Agile Coach, Scrum Master, Program Manager,
Project Manager and SAFe Enterprise Agile Coach in companies such as Florida Power and Light, USAA, Lowes, TransUnion, FedEx and many other
organizations. He lives in Rock Hill, South Carolina and when he is not busy
coaching-he enjoys coffee, the outdoors and spending time with his family.
