About
Zoran Vujkov, experienced Agile Coach since 2008, CSP, CSM, CSPO and SAFe Practitioner. Proven record of moving companies from waterfall to Agile way of software development using different Agile frameworks. In 2008 I was introduced to Agile and Scrum in SonyEricsson, where I was appointed as Scrum Master to ensure that Scrum was followed by 3 teams. I helped teams to use inspection, adaptation and transparency to guide their work, to reflect on how to become more effective, and adjust their behaviour accordingly. This experience helped me to learn basic elements of Scrum. During 2009/2010 I was an Agile coach in Promethean where I rolled out Scrum to all dev teams. I led two teams as SM by enforcing rules of Scrum, maximizing Scrum benefits and rolling out CI and TDD to ensure that quality was built-in from the start. This experience helped me to further develop my Scrum knowledge and to learn importance of good engineering practices. During 2011/2012 I was an Agile coach in Barclays responsible for Agile Enterprise transformation. This experience helped me to learn importance of understanding the company's culture before applying Agile and that Agile values, principles and mindset must be part of company culture. From 2013 to 2016 I was an Agile coach in Schneider Electric DMS, responsible for Agile Enterprise transformation, scaling up Agile using SAFe, and rolling out of engineering practices. This experience helped me to understand importance of reducing dependencies in product backlog, between team members and within software for Agile scaling. From Dec 2016 to Dec 2017 I was an Agile coach in Telenor responsible for Agile transition. This experience helped me learn that you couldn’t become Agile if organization and mindset were created based on waterfall. From end of 2017 to July 2018 I was an Agile coach in United Cloud responsible for scaling Scrum. This experience helped to learn that there wasn’t universal approach for scaling and it was the best to choose suitable elements from different scaling framework. From July 2018 until March 2019 I was an Agile coach in eFront responsible for rolling out of DevOps. This experience helped me to learn importance of engineering practices, specially automation in being successful with Agile. Now I am Agile consultant in Wireless Media, responsible to help with Agile transition.
