Your Trainer

Manoj Vadakkan CST · CLP · CSP-SM · PMP

Consultant, trainer, and coach with three decades of experience in software delivery, program management, and organizational change. Certified Scrum Trainer for over a decade. Speaker at Scrum Gatherings and Agile conferences internationally.

Runs every class personally — no substitute instructors, no outsourced instruction. Classes are intentionally small because the learning comes from real conversation, not slides.

This is not a mass-marketed class.

No training-mill partnerships. No 40-person Zoom rooms. No bait-and-switch with substitute trainers. You get a small group, a seasoned trainer who has done the work, and a class built around the questions your team will actually face. That's it.
