I am a CSP looking for a Scrum project in need of a coach.

I am a project manager with over 20 years of IT PM experience.  Working in the consulting industry, I frequently found clients flailing about while trying to exert a burdensome planning and control process which instead of empowering those doing the work, it impeded productivity, creativity and focus on delivering what the customer wanted and not what the customer spec said they wanted.

Scrum would have solved so many of those problems, had we/I only known.  What's more, Scrum emphasizes the traits I have always felt the most important for a good project manager.  Customer focus, people skills, ability to communicate often and the ability to not only allow change, but to embrace it.

I am windng down a project with a real estate developer and am now ready to look at any new projects where I may employ Scrum.  As I said above, I am a CSM and CSPO looking for a Scrum project in need of a PO.  I am also PMP certified and have earned my Black Belt in Six Sigma.  My education is a BS in Business Law and Accounting from the University of Tennessee and I have a Master Certificate in Six Sigma from Villanova University.
