I am an Agile Coach, a ScrumMaster, a CSP (Certified Scrum Practitioner), a CST (Certified Scrum Trainer) and an MBA.

You can find me at my blog, Agile & Business.  Or at my company website at leanagiletraining.com 

Hope you are having success with Scrum, and having fun! 

If I can help as a coach or trainer, or in any other way, please contact me.

Some further background on me:

* With an MBA, I tend to put more focus than others on Business Value Engineering, by which I mean all the practices in identifying and confirming where the BV really is.

* I have 20+ years of experience as a consultant to well-known firms in New York, London, and Charlotte.  And in Richmond, VA, and San Antonio, TX. I have worked at relatively few clients over those years since I tend to be extended or invited back.

* I have been a Senior Manager in Big 6/Big 4 consulting.

* I initially was trained in Scrum by Ken Schwaber and mentored with Jeff Sutherland. I continue to work with Jeff Sutherland, the Poppendiecks and a number of other great coaches and trainers.  I am pleased to call many of the coaches and trainers and practitioners in the community friends. 

* I helped start Agile Richmond (formerly APLN-Richmond). I started Agile-Carolinas, which has had some great speakers. I was a speaker at Agile 2007 and will be at Agile 2008.  I have a book in draft (The Elements of Agile Style). 

* I have a BA from Yale and an MBA from NYU (in finance and international business). 

* I am pleased to pass on Little's Law (2) which somehow one day came to me:  "People are remarkably good at doing what they want to do."  Much like "where there's a will, there's a way", but with a twist.

If you would like to talk more, please contact me.
