About

Cristal Richardson is an experienced Scrum Master and Agile Coach with an extensive background working on large enterprise level mission critical projects within the telecommunications and financial services industries. She traveled the world coaching teams using waterfall methodologies in the US, Australia and India. She had a feeling some of the systemic patterns of project overruns and past deadlines were a symptom of something not being OK, which were counter to her grad school management schooling. It was in Macedonia where she mentored a Scrum team, which changed her life and  perspective of how the business and especially IT could interact with the organization and their customers. She realized the Agile principles and values she was practicing in her personal life were put into business via Scrum . Now she coaches Agile teams and organizations in Sweden using LeSS, SAFe, Lean and Agile methodologies with a focus on systems thinking. Today she has started encouraging leaders to transform by re-aligning with their values and enjoys helping teams realize their next level using Scrum and Agile method.
