Lisa Allman

I live in Swartz Creek, Michigan and I have worked in the IT Industry for 20+ years. I performed as a Software Engineer, assisting with QA Testing, Designing, Documentation, and Production Support. I have worked in both Waterfall and Agile environments. I started working in Agile in 2009 as a team member and found I naturally lean towards leading teams. I received my Scrum Master certification in 2011 and became a Certified Scrum Professional in 2012. I worked as half developer / half Scrum Master for 4+ years and then became a full-time Scrum Master. I've been working full-time as a Scrum Master/Agile Coach now for 4+ years. I enjoy working with teams, focusing on shaping them into high performing, cohesive teams. I have led multiple teams, facilitating scrum ceremonies and coaching the teams and their leadership as needed. I have provided scrum training to individuals, teams, leadership, and presented at Agile eve4ts. I have a SAFe Scrum Master cerrtification and experience in a SAFe evironment, participating in and leading Scrum of Scrums, Program Level retrospectives, and Program Increment Planning.  I have worked with leadership to transition teams over to Agile methodologies, evaluating processes, streamlining their work flows, and introducing team colaboration within the teams and across multiple teams within a train and outside of the train.
