About Michael Stables

I’m Michael Stables, a SAFe SPC, Release Train Engineer, Agile coach, developer, and AI workflow builder. I help complex work become clearer through enterprise delivery leadership, practical workflow consulting, and hands-on systems building.

The short version

I work at the intersection of people, process, technology, and practical AI. In enterprise environments, that has meant Agile coaching, release train coordination, delivery habits, facilitation, and organizational process improvement.

In my independent work, it means helping people inspect the recurring workflows that waste time: scattered notes, repeated status updates, fragmented project knowledge, unclear handoffs, and workflow steps that should not depend on one person’s memory every week.

The shared theme is systems thinking: understand how the work moves, then improve the system around it.

Three connected parts of my work

Enterprise leadership

SAFe SPC, RTE, Scrum Master, Agile coaching, delivery coordination, and process improvement across complex team and program environments.

Workflow consulting

Focused reviews, audits, prototypes, documentation cleanup, and practical AI or automation support for workflows that need a clearer operating path.

Builder projects

GetPrompting, local AI systems, n8n workflows, RAG experiments, automation libraries, and technical case studies that show how I think through real systems.

My background

Agile leadership taught me how teams actually work, where communication breaks down, and why process improvements fail when they ignore real people.

Software delivery and systems work gave me the technical curiosity to understand how tools connect, where automation helps, and where it becomes maintenance debt.

Coaching and facilitation taught me how to explain complex ideas in a way people can actually use.

That mix is what I bring into enterprise delivery, AI workflows, automation, and practical systems.

Where I fit best

I’m a good fit when the work requires both operating judgment and technical curiosity: someone who can lead in a complex organization, map the human workflow, and prototype practical AI or automation support without overbuilding.

Principles

How I Work

Start with the workflow

I look at the recurring process before recommending tools.

Keep the system reviewable

AI outputs need ownership, context, and human review.

Prototype before overbuilding

Small working systems reveal more than long strategy documents.

Design for adoption

A workflow only matters if people can understand, repeat, and maintain it.

Use AI where it reduces drag

The goal is less manual friction, not more tool noise.

Document the pattern

Reusable prompts, templates, and operating rules make improvements stick.

Next Step

Start with one workflow that is costing too much time

The best starting point is a specific recurring process: research, reporting, meeting notes, project updates, backlog cleanup, documentation, or content planning. From there, we can decide whether the right next move is an audit, a prototype, or a clearer operating system.
