Glenn Smith: My first exsposure of Scrum was truely when I was a Software Development Manager. I was continually frustrated how churn was costing my team so much effort and I thought there must be a better way; it turned out there was. Since then I have been pastionate about Scrum and how agile methods can make dramatic impact to software teams but also how the same priniciples can be used in a non-software world.

I had the great opportunity to lead the roll out of Agile in the Motorola Networks GSM Engineering business. While the change management was the main activity, this did include me coaching scrum teams and running Scrum Overview training sessions. Through this process I also learnt about the powerful advantages of Visual Facilitation and how this can improve the effectiveness of meetings.

Currently I am working as a Scrum Master in Alcatel Lucent. They are on a jounrey to agile and I am assisting this process firstly as a scrum master but being able to bring my previous experiences from Motorla to the table.
