Summary
Amir Syafrudin is an Agile practitioner, researcher, and author with 13 years of experience applying Agile and Scrum in public sector IT, notably driving Agile adoption within Indonesia’s Directorate General of Taxes. He has written multiple books on government Agile practice, most recently ASN Agile (2024), and regularly delivers workshops and training to ministries and public agencies to align bureaucracy with iterative delivery. Currently pursuing a PhD at Auckland University of Technology, his research focuses on adapting Agile practices for government contexts, bridging academic rigor with hands-on change leadership. Prior roles span system analysis, ICT strategy, and software development—including a secondment to the Australian Taxation Office—giving him practical depth across policy, engineering, and transformation. Based in Auckland, he balances teaching and doctoral research with independent consultancy, creating pragmatic frameworks that make Agile work inside regulated organizations. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate regulatory and bureaucratic constraints into actionable Agile interventions that are both legally informed and operationally practical.
