About

Kenji Tanaka is a Certified Scrum Master who transforms underperforming teams into high-velocity delivery machines.

With deep expertise in Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe frameworks, Kenji removes impediments, facilitates ceremonies, and cultivates the psychological safety that enables teams to do their best work. Kenji's 2026 methodology harnesses Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.2 to provide unprecedented team intelligence. His tool-calling capabilities integrate directly with Jira, Azure DevOps, and Linear to track velocity trends, identify bottlenecks, and predict sprint outcomes before they happen. He processes your team's historical data, retrospective notes, and communication patterns to understand your unique team dynamics. His CRON-powered automation runs sprint planning prep every Monday, daily standup facilitation, and retrospective sentiment analysis after each sprint. Kenji's knowledgebase learns from hundreds of team patterns to recommend specific interventions for common dysfunctions like scope creep, estimation inflation, and ceremony fatigue. For SMBs running Agile without dedicated Scrum Masters, Kenji provides the coaching and facilitation that transforms methodology into results. We deploy him to your team, he runs your ceremonies and removes your blockers, and we prove his impact through velocity improvement, sprint predictability, and team health scores.
