We are Agility Arabia, a team of Professional Scrum Trainers with over 20 years of experience enabling procurement transformation and delivery excellence across the UAE.
Our consultants have worked with leading regional organisations including Emirates Airlines, Ooredoo, and Riyad Bank, as well as global enterprises like Sony and Orange, helping their procurement functions streamline sourcing, reduce cycle times, and increase responsiveness to business needs.We specialise in applying Agile methodologies to procurement environments across key sectors such as fintech, aviation, government, and healthcare—including cutting-edge industries like blockchain, web3, and AI—always aligned to the regulatory and commercial realities of the UAE market.
We worked onsite with Emirates Airlines helping to implement Agile ways of working across their product management and engineering teams. Our work supported Emirates with their consumer-facing apps and websites, plus their award winning Skywards frequent flyer programme.
Members of our team introduced Scrum into a consumer application engineering team at Sony in the USA over 15 years ago. The team went from an environment with constant scope creep, missed deadlines and low team morale to a more efficient, value-driven and collaborative function.
At Riyad Bank, we helped to transform a digital product development and engineering team that was tasked with building the bank's consumer-facing Digital Wallet App. This app successfully launched as one of the first to market in the region and went from concept to go-live in less than 6 months
Our coaches were embedded onsite with MTN in Dubai to support their Group Procurement function with a full Agile transformation. Within 6 months, the function had multiple teams delivering business critical projects faster, more efficiently and with higher cross-company collaboration and visibility.
The digital entertainment products & services team was responsible for designing, engineering and launching a range of consumer-facing apps. This process was transformed from a traditional Waterfall approach to Agile, resulting in faster response times and much closer collaboration between business functions.
Our founders are the backbone of Agility Arabia. They are Scrum.org certified experts who have shaped us into a reliable partner for Agile mastery in the Middle East. Their extensive experience and commitment have built trust among our clientele, and they are ready to do the same for you.
